1. The consensus is it will cost $33T per year. I believe that's low-balling it, but that's a discussion for another thread.
2. You could double today's tax receipts and it won't be enough to pay for it!
3. Elizabeth Warren and AOC's proposed tax on the wealthy won't pay for it either.
4. "If it works in Canada it can work here." Yeah, and you wait six months to see a specialist up there.
5. "You can keep your doctor." Where have we heard that before.
6. Today's Medicare reimbursement rate is 40%. That's why many doctors don't take Medicare.
7. It will destroy private insurance as we know it, thereby taking something away from 67% of Americans.
8. When 53% of Americans don't pay federal income tax then what have they to lose! In their mind it's just another freebie coming their way, courtesy of the federal government.
Now given these facts I ask you, who do you think will pay for "Medicare for All?"
I don't begrudge anyone for voting Democrat providing they can support their reasons for doing so. And it had best be something other than "I don't like Trump."
I thank you and let's keep it real.
