1. Not if it run by states. Which is what I think the real issue here is.

[thereismore]

3. That's clearly a made-up issue. Anything that sticks. nt

[boston bean]

9. I dont think its made up.

Pretty sure bernie has proposed it in legislation 9 times.

[Warren Stupidity]

16. So just to get this issue straight, if the proposal were instead a single federal administration

program, you would then support it. Right?

[boston bean]

18. I think I would. I have always supported a federal single payer system.

[randys1]

27. The states thing is an issue only because many are run by assholes who seek to

harm their citizens.

We know that.

has to be a way to do it federally

[bkkyosemite]

32. Medicare for all would be Federal not State.

[boston bean]

34. It semantics at this time because bernie has

Not provided his plan. We do know tha he introduced legislation nine times to let the states control it.

[bkkyosemite]

35. So you are not familiar with HR 676......

It would save over 5 Trillion.........you ease into it. As Bernie says it won't happen overnight but I say it will happen. You act like Bernie hasn't said anything about it. Do research.

[SickOfTheOnePct]

36. Under HR 676

States do administer single payer.

Not saying that's bad, just that it's there.

[boston bean]

37. Read sec 303 and familiarize yourself.

On edit, pointing out you edited your post.

Secondly, we already have this problem with the expansion of medicaid.

Sorry, i dont want governors controlling this.

[bkkyosemite]

39. So I'm trouble because I edited. My eyesight is not that good

and sometimes I type a word and it is not the word I wish to type. Just a thing when getting old.......I do believe that Bernie will not leave it up to the states although I did not know that it stated that regarding the states....thanks.

[EdwardBernays]

10. Chelsea?

Is that you?

[boston bean]

11. No.

[thereismore]

12. Hillary is that you? nt

[boston bean]

14. No.

[Warren Stupidity]

15. Is this the new camp attempt to bring the FUD to a standard Democratic Party Platform issue?

[boston bean]

17. No. Its the truth.

[Warren Stupidity]

19. I'm just wondering if the talking points from two days ago expired.

Are we still concerned about the 14 trillion dollars and the huge taxes, or have those concerns reached their expiration date?

[boston bean]

20. Read what i wrote. That is what i meant.

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

23. It's Medicare. You're conflating your bullshit with Medicare

[boston bean]

28. So much anger.

[mountain grammy]

2. The Medicaid expansion has literally saved the lives of 3 of my friends..

Yes, yes, yes. Medicaid for everyone. Raise my taxes, whatever it takes! Fucking do it!

[MattP]

4. Is there any way in the world it can pass?

Im all for single payer but even with both houses we couldnt get it passed and i think with the jerry rigged districts there is no way it passes

[elleng]

5. Repeal? NO,

as it's probably not necessary to do so, but all the exploding heads on the issue are counter-productive, imo.

We need a new and newly evolving healthcare SYSTEM, as we have NO system now, and it will take time to establish such. In the meantime, we should develop realistic goals, and make changes toward establishing a Healthcare for ALL system gradually.

[restorefreedom]

21. ^^^^this right here-^^^^ nt

[lamp_shade]

24. I agree. Keyword: evolve. Let it evolve.

[Wounded Bear]

31. Yes, this ^^^

We don't have a healthcare system, we have a healthcare industry.

Big difference.

[bigwillq]

6. No.

We must protect ObamaCare for Obama's legacy.
This medicare for all likely will not pass before the next election.
Do not tarnish Obama's signature piece of legislation.
Obama.

[PowerToThePeople]

7. I am low income

so I am able to get the subsidized medicaid through the ACA for myself and child.

It is by far the best coverage I have ever had in my lifetime, way surpassing any corporate insurance plan I have had. If there is an issue that needs addressed I go in, get it taken care of, and walk out. End of story.

[Vinca]

8. It makes so much sense.

Besides the avoidance of insurance company profiteering, we'd be combining quite a number of separate agencies into one, thus streamlining the process and probably costing a whole lot less.

[Warren Stupidity]

13. I guess you thought that your "cleverly" worded push poll would have some other result.

[Z_California]

22. I'll just leave this here

[link:|

[Hoyt]

25. Better make sure we can enact Medicare for all before dismantling ACA. I don't think it will

pass right now. It -- or something like it -- is the thing to do, but if it won't pass . . . . . . We might get a public option.

[BayouBengal07]

26. Why would you have to repeal ERISA?

I could see Title VII being tweaked, but Medicare for All wouldn't necessitate repealing the retirement provisions.

[Orangepeel]

29. Sequentially? Fuck that

We'd end up with nothing as republicans in the house would be happy to vote to repeal but wouldn't replace.

I support adding an option to purchase Medicare through the exchanges, increased subsidies, and cost controls like O'Malley proposes.

[SickOfTheOnePct]

30. I'm in favor of single-payer

But I also believe that those who want to pay cash to get care outside of single payer should be permitted to. They still should have to pay the taxes that pay for single-payer, but if they don't want to use the system, fine. More money for the system for those who do use it.

[bkkyosemite]

33. HR 676

which includes dental and other things that affect health is what should happen.

[jwirr]

38. As long as the items not shared between Medicaid and Medicare

are included in Medicare for All. I am thinking about institutional care - Medicare pays for the first 180 days in a nursing home - after that you either pay it yourself or Medicaid pays for it if you cannot.

There is also the issue of medications (Part D?) that will need to be included. It does you no good to go to the doctor if you cannot afford the drugs the doctor tells you to take.
