    This is an example of you guys destroy left wing arguments.

    Me “we should do Medicare for all”

    You “at what cost?”

    Me “well studies show it would be about the same as what we currently pay for healthcare. Some show a little less, some show a little more.”

    You “yeah but at what cost???”

    Destroyed.

    Studies like the one that said ObamaCare would save families $2500/year in premiums?

    Yeah, I didn’t fall for the lies then so I’m sure not going to fall for them now.

    Not sure what this has to do with anything. I'm pretty sure Kobe was at the forefront of the liberal block yelling about how that was a watered down bill that catered to insurance companies and did little in the way of actually making healthcare more affordable for folks.
    It made it less affordable for me but at the time all the dick suckers lined up for a shot at Obama's 2 inches

    The guy you just voted for wants it BACK

    Medicare sucks. It sucks worse for all. Obamacare sucks worse

    The point is why would anyone listen to the clowns that brought us this far?

    That would be you and the rest of the boomers that don’t want M4A. You’re the clowns.
    We also know Medicare up close and personal which is why we know you lied and are still lying

    I also know the insurance i had before which is how I know that Obama lied his ass off and you couldn't suck hard enough

    Or we could listen to lying clowns like you
    I still have my same plan and doctors(except the one that retired). Sorry you are one of the outliers.
    Another liar

    I’m all for Medicare for All. The problem I have with it is I know damn well our government will fuck it up with partisan bullshit
    Medicare for Olds is less than efficient. And it’s been around for almost 60 years.

    The problem with Medicare for all is that GP’s will take a yuge comp cut. And the good, smart ones can find another gig. Then you will be left with the rest. And quality of care will suffer.

    You do realize that your President is actually older than boomers, right? Same with Pelosi and McConnell.

    DC UniParty leadership is so old and white it pre-dates Boomers. Progress!

    I think this is a fair position. Republicans hate the government so they try and sabotage it, liberals love the government because they get rich off it but don’t really care if things go wrong.

    We can’t change this overnight but if we all start supporting better candidates, we can fix it.
    Liberals love power. They suck at running the government. Government schools, government housing, government run healthcare are all garbage. Look what the Government did to the VA. Hate Trump all you like but he did make that crappy system better something no Rat or Republican was able to do before him.

    You're not going to fix it. You'll make it more expense and you'll make it suck even more there is no way you'll ever fix it because you don't have a fucking clue about what caused it to suck in the first place.

    You were busying cheering the wonders of government housing but the reality is you'd never live it and you'd run as fast as you could if you were ever forced to live in it. But in your pea sized brain the problems with government housing is because we just don't have the right people running it, which completely ignores all of the real reasons why it sucks.

    You mean the ones NOT taking money from the Medical Mafia and Big Pharma??

    Good luck with that.


    You could get me to support a M4A of you created real, market-based competition to drive down pricing.

    As we? covered, good luck with that.

    Healthcare is an inelastic good. Your market forces mumbo jumbo doesn’t work. This is a fact and it is beyond dispute.

    That’s just not what the data says. Kidney transplants are like flat screens tv is a big brain libertarian idea but this is a hard evidence only thread and you don’t have any.

    This is how we? know you aren't a deep thinker.

    The only part of medicine that is truly inelastic is actual emergency services - heart attack, stroke, snapped a leg in half or otherwise maimed yourself.

    ALL the rest of it should work like any other technology that gets cheaper over tim. Like the 80" flat screen on your wall.

    But it doesn't.

    Why? Because the Medical Mafia and Big Pharma spend BILLIONS lobbying congress every year to create rules ensuring payments and effectuating an artificial monopoly over the market.

    Econ 101 - Monopolies only benefit suppliers. Really entry level concept here. One AOC and Bernie seem intent on failing to grasp.


    Trump forced hospitals to disclose the cost of care up front. A straight up WIN for the little guy. But since orangeman bad, really super bad, neither you or the MSM paid an ounce of attention to that win for the plebiscite.

    Things that have gotten substantially cheaper -Lasik eye surgery, breast implants, tummy tucks. None involving the government or insurance. All subject to a lot of advertising which indicates strong competition. Trump started a competitive push. We just need to finish it. When you see advertisement for hip replacement surgeries and the cost you will know it is getting cheaper. Starting to see a little of it with testosterone treatments and ED meds. Need to get everyone on high deductible HSA programs and self-funded HSAs. When you are using other people's money, you don't care about the cost. You do if it is your money.

    The kobe's of the world were stupid. Just like one of BO's "affordable care act" architects admitted publicly. How anyone could get behind this after what Jonathan Gruber admitted is a mystery but here Kobe is, proving Gruber right over and over and over again.

    ""This bill was written in a tortured way to make sure CBO did not score the mandate as taxes," he said during a panel discussion at the University of Pennsylvania in October, 2013. "Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage. And basically, call it the 'stupidity of the American voter' or whatever, but basically that was really, really critical to getting the thing to pass.”

    Yeah, it’s almost like elective surgery and healthcare are two separate things.

    So far you guys have compared chemo therapy to flat screen TVs and tummy tucks. Stop, it embarrassing.

    So far you guys have compared chemo therapy to flat screen TVs and tummy tucks. Stop, it embarrassing.
    Most surgeries that are performed are elective. It's not almost like you're a fucking moron, you are a fucking moron. Now tell how knee surgery and healthcare are two separate things dumbfuck?

    This is an example of you guys destroy left wing arguments.

    Me “we should do Medicare for all”

    You “at what cost?”

    Me “well studies show it would be about the same as what we currently pay for healthcare. Some show a little less, some show a little more.”

    You “yeah but at what cost???”

    Destroyed.

    I’m all for Medicare for All. The problem I have with it is I know damn well our government will fuck it up with partisan bullshit
    I think this is a fair position. Republicans hate the government so they try and sabotage it, liberals love the government because they get rich off it but don’t really care if things go wrong.

    We can’t change this overnight but if we all start supporting better candidates, we can fix it.
    You mean the ones NOT taking money from the Medical Mafia and Big Pharma??

    Good luck with that.


    You could get me to support a M4A of you created real, market-based competition to drive down pricing.

    As we? covered, good luck with that.





    Healthcare is an inelastic good. Your market forces mumbo jumbo doesn’t work. This is a fact and it is beyond dispute.
    This is how we? know you aren't a deep thinker.

    The only part of medicine that is truly inelastic is actual emergency services - heart attack, stroke, snapped a leg in half or otherwise maimed yourself.

    ALL the rest of it should work like any other technology that gets cheaper over tim. Like the 80" flat screen on your wall.

    But it doesn't.

    Why? Because the Medical Mafia and Big Pharma spend BILLIONS lobbying congress every year to create rules ensuring payments and effectuating an artificial monopoly over the market.

    Econ 101 - Monopolies only benefit suppliers. Really entry level concept here. One AOC and Bernie seem intent on failing to grasp.


    Trump forced hospitals to disclose the cost of care up front. A straight up WIN for the little guy. But since orangeman bad, really super bad, neither you or the MSM paid an ounce of attention to that win for the plebiscite.

    Things that have gotten substantially cheaper -Lasik eye surgery, breast implants, tummy tucks. None involving the government or insurance. All subject to a lot of advertising which indicates strong competition. Trump started a competitive push. We just need to finish it. When you see advertisement for hip replacement surgeries and the cost you will know it is getting cheaper. Starting to see a little of it with testosterone treatments and ED meds. Need to get everyone on high deductible HSA programs and self-funded HSAs. When you are using other people's money, you don't care about the cost. You do if it is your money.

    What is embarrassing is that they both are medicine so why has one dropped in price while having huge leaps in effectiveness. I know you leftards have no ability to wonder about things, just say stupid things and feels. What doesn't make it cheaper is offering "free" medical care to illegal aliens.

    The kobe's of the world were stupid. Just like one of BO's "affordable care act" architects admitted publicly. How anyone could get behind this after what Jonathan Gruber admitted is a mystery but here Kobe is, proving Gruber right over and over and over again.

    ""This bill was written in a tortured way to make sure CBO did not score the mandate as taxes," he said during a panel discussion at the University of Pennsylvania in October, 2013. "Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage. And basically, call it the 'stupidity of the American voter' or whatever, but basically that was really, really critical to getting the thing to pass.”

    “But Gruber didn’t work for the Obama administration!”

    One of my favorite Lib defenses when this came out years ago. He didn’t “work for the Obama administration” because he was on a federal contract that paid him $400,000 for a few months of work stuffing ObamaCare with handouts for donors instead of the $175,000ish he’d be capped at annually officially working as a federal employee.

    Leftists can only thrive on the ignorance of their base.

    What doesn’t make it cheaper is that people don’t give a shit what the price is when it’s healthcare. Literally all the data, all the studies show this. That’s why every single example you have is tummy tucks and flat screen TVs.

    He doesn't know what the fuck he is talking about. He is complete fucking moron and a coward. You'll notice he makes no mention of Lasik surgery or the hundreds of different forms of cosmetic surgeries that are most certainly healthcare. A system that required people to pay for their healthcare out of their own pocket, and yes knee surgery is both and elective surgery and healthcare would see the same drop in prices that we see with Lasik surgery.
