    How the Nation’s Healthcare System Can Improve

    The 2020 election is coming. And health insurers are worried.
    https://fortune.com/2019/03/25/medic...ate-insurance/
    A groundswell of support for Medicare for All among prominent Democratic presidential contenders has spooked the industry, with some candidates professing the private health insurance sector may (and even should) eventually be tossed into the dustbin of history.

    Sen. Bernie Sanders—author of a comprehensive Medicare for All bill—has never shied away from a fight with large corporations, and universal health care has long been one of his hobbyhorses. But candidates occupying a more centrist space in the Democratic Party, such as Sens. Kamala Harris, Kirsten Gillibrand, and Cory Booker, have all cosponsored Sanders’s legislation.

    The bulk of the Sanders bill would be paid for by a 7.5% payroll tax on employers and 4% from workers’ paychecks. The current system of Medicare and Medicaid would be scrapped and replaced with a significantly more generous program. Everyone in the United States would be covered, no opt in or out.

    The big catch: You’d lose your current employer plan. “The Medicare for All bills proposed by Sanders … would effectively eliminate the role of private health insurance providers,” Larry Levitt, senior vice president for health reform at the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation, told Fortune in an interview. “The idea of eliminating an industry and companies that are this large is unprecedented.”

    Under the plan, private insurers would be banned from competing with government coverage, relegating them to the role of selling supplemental insurance—table scraps compared with the $600 billion feast that private insurance is today.

    Democratic politicians are finding themselves increasingly comfortable with that situation. Harris told CNN’s Jake Tapper, “Let’s eliminate all of that,” referring to the insurance industry (she later softened her stance). Gillibrand has called it an “urgent goal.”
    So what's the problem with that? You still haven't been able to point out anything that I got wrong. The U.S. is virtually unique in its dependence on private health insurance. And all we get for it is more cost and less actual health care.

    There’s actually quite a bit more to say.

    As pointed out, the Mexican judge belonged to a Mexican advocacy group and it was because of *that* that Trump felt he should recuse on account of Trump’s intention to build a wall. Did Trump say Mexicans, generally, are unfit to be judges? No, that would actually be racist.

    You can say Trump’s comments were stupid, or whatever, but you can’t say they were racist—because that ain’t racism. I don’t care how much the talking heads say otherwise.

    I think trump's advisors have told him that as well~thus the pressure on the fed to do his bidding, & under threat they seem willing to comply..

    What is sad is many of those folks, farmers as an example, still support him, eventhough they are taking it in the shorts as a result of his harebrained "great deals" aka taxes on Americans via tariffs..

    IMHO all said, any presidents role in the market/economy is limited~those closing have more to do w/ market forces than tantrums in the wht house..

    Well that was debunked. It was a while ago, maybe you forgot-like you forgot that quote of Ryan saying he is a never trumper?? I won't ask again, but if you have it hand I would love to read it........


    The conservative website Redstate posted an op-ed rebuking Trump’s use of the California lawyers group as proof of Judge Curiel’s political motives. The writer, Leon Wolf, called the effort to disparage the association "dishonest."

    "As far as I can tell, they appear to be a pretty garden variety special interest lawyers association," Wolf wrote. "Every state has these chapters for Hispanic lawyers, black lawyers, women lawyers, Mormon lawyers, Christian lawyers, Jewish lawyers -- you name it, there is a lawyer association for it in every state."

    Our ruling

    Trump said Curiel belonged to a group that is very strongly pro-Mexican. The California La Raza Lawyers Association does advance the interests of the Latino legal community and works on issues that matter in Latino communities more broadly.

    However, it has stayed on the sidelines in the immigration debate. The one exception is one letter from a dozen years ago which objected to a television show on the grounds that the program encouraged people to enter the country without documentation. The group’s rare court filings focus on civil rights in general.

    Trump’s statement is accurate only in the sense that the association’s mission aims to support Latinos, but even that is flawed because he said
    the group was pro-Mexican and the Latino designation reaches a wider set of people. The claim ignores critical facts that would give a very different impression.

    Ok, so Trump was misinformed about the nature of the group the Mexican judge was associated with.

    That makes his comments about the judge ‘racist’ lol? And I don’t care what Paul Ryan said: he’s not the final arbiter of what constitutes racism.

    How many other of the charges of Trump’s supposed racism can be dissected this easily?

    Trump is incapable of listening to his advisers. He's also incapable of learning.

    Anyway, most Republicans and Democrats just blindly vote for their own candidates. Independents make or break elections. And as the article shows, Trump's approval among Democrats also dropped following the racist tweets.

    If Clinton had carried any combination of the rust belt states she would have cake walked into the oval office.
    I simply stated "THE DOCUMENTED FACT"......The people that elected Donald Trump were the working stiff blue collar democrats from the supposed BLUE WALL STATES of Wis. Michigan, and Pa. just like the democrats that voted for Mr. Reagan and were called Reagan democrats....these blue collar democrats from the rust belt (the one's labeled as deplorable fly over states by Clinton) elected Mr. Trump. The so called independents always vote with their pocket books in favor of SELF INTEREST and carry no party affiliation. With the economy booming.....the independents will never support the radical left wing party that has been kid (literally) napped by the young social communists pretending to be democrats (unless...as stated earlier you are a socialist democrat "PLAYING" libertarian). They(the pussy posse) now own the democrat party as Mr. Trump baited the entire party into supporting their radical agenda even though they have accomplished nothing for THE PEOPLE that sent them to DC.

    When the actual numbers are quantified....there is a 3% gain for Mr. Trump....not a loss whatsoever. Trump "wins" again with the exchange between the pussy posse and the POTUS with a net gain in popularity....voiding the SPINNING with the false premise that it was independents that elected Mr. Trump. In Reality the independents are the only constant voters in the nation....they always vote for their pocket books and self interest. The Obama Administration was an abomination for this capitalistic republic as evidenced by the static 1.9GDP growth index over the entire 8 year period of failed democrat policies.

    That is correct IMHO as well..

    If Dems ignore them again, which seems to be the case, except Biden &/or Ryan they can expect the same results...
