If you asked a person with Blue Cross insurance if he supported medicare for all, but that anyone with private sector insurance would lose their insurance - you would get a different response. That is the leftards medicare proposal.
Fuck.that.shit.
Whether you do or don't want to pay for insurance coverage (Hi, @RaceBannon), that's your own call. For all the left's insistence on "it's her own body, let her have the freedom to choose" with regard to abortion, they certainly don't carry that thought on other matters that affect one's "own body" and health choices.
[As to how the UW team’s findings jibe with the Seattle area’s very low unemployment rate, tight labor market, and anecdotes from hospitality employers desperately seeking low-wage workers, Vigdor said that, based on data and what he’s hearing from employers, businesses are looking to hire those with more experience.
“Traditionally, a high proportion of workers in the low-wage market are not experienced at all: teens with their first jobs, immigrants with their first jobs here,” he said. “Data is pointing to: Since we have to pay more, employers are looking for people with experience who can do the job from Day 1.”]
With an increase in supply(artificial price increase) and a decrease in demand employers can be selective for even minimum wage jobs.
This is happening in California where we also increased the minimum wage. I've actually been watching this squeeze a number of our friends with shoe shine degrees that are "artists" & "actors". You've gotta have at least 5 yrs experience, a clean record, and be willing to jump through a bunch of hoops just to get a job as a barista working for minimum wage plus tips. Mind you, you'll still be working less than 30 hours so that they don't have to give you benefits(per artificial state law) and you'll have a hard time picking up a second job because no one wants to(or has to) put up with an employee with two jobs and a schedule conflict. Don't like it? Fuck you, someone else will happily take the job because supply outpaces demand when the government creates a price floor. It's almost like basic economics has some grounding in reality.
Of course, none of this is the fault of the government's artificial economic planning, it's all just greedy corporations so we actually need moar regulation of the already highly regulated labor market.
It also ensures lots of people working for minimum wage are stuck on government benefits and will continue to vote for the people making them dependent on those benefits.
Oh look more anecdotal evidence. Well I talked to all my friends in California and Washington and they said everything you’ve said is false. It’s almost like this is the internet and I can just say shit.
We can keep bickering about this but truth is it’s irrelevant. A bunch of politicians ran on your bullshit, they called themselves the tea party, and where are they now? Meanwhile the majority of Americans support raising the minimum wage and 70% support Medicare for all. So you can keep thinking you’re the smartest guy in the room but what good is it when you can’t convince other people that you’re right?
Move to Cuba, China, Venezuela or some other socialist.commie paradise. Live your choice of government and economics and stop trying to bleed the rest of us dry so you can live the life you think you deserve without working for it.
