SEDITION: incitement of resistance to or insurrection against lawful authority.

"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."
— Joe Biden on Obama.
Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.
D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.
Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".

Hello Althea,
Any employer paying the health costs of a worker could increase the pay of that worker by the same amount if the USA had free health care. Sure, taxes might have to be raised to pay for the health care, but the tax hike would not be as much as the pay hike. The worker would see a net gain.
We have to stop the huge sucking sound of wealth being extracted from American paychecks for health care. Americans pay more than double what it costs other countries. There is no need for that. Big pharma executives and big insurance executives are getting filthy rich and they are not earning it.

No question that this is a complex issue. A big part of the problem, as we see in these threads, is that most people don't even understand their own insurance funding. Most think that insurance is free, or very low cost because they literally pay next to nothing for it.
Others saw price hikes after ACA was passed, but didn't understand that their bosses were taking advantage of the propaganda in the news, and claiming that ACA raised their costs. Meanwhile, they just passed along a larger share of the premium cost to the employee, and blamed Obama.
Many pay almost nothing for their insurance. That's due to their negotiated union contracts in many cases. So, they'd actually be paying more via taxation, and they won't be very supportive of such a plan.
This country typically operates on a 'I got mine' mentality. Others 'made bad choices', if you believe their claims.
Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

Hello Althea,
So a new law which establishes medicare for all must also force employers who have been providing health insurance to then increase the pay of workers by the same amount the insurance was costing the company.
Problem solved.
We can do this.
It's not rocket science.
Employers will have no excuse not to comply. One day, they are paying the money out to insurance companies. The next day they are paying the same money out to the workers. No loss for the company, just take one payable and shift it to another. Profits are not affected. No additional cost is incurred by the employer. Workers get fatter paychecks.

The Democrat debates proved that there is no need to send in the clowns. They all were on stage including a culture thief, Pocahontas and a Socialist and a creepy, sleepy, corrupt old man, Biden, who should go home and wipe the oatmeal off his chin.
