Medicare for All: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver

[CFM]

But John explained why that isn't a great thing either as it cuts keeps the insurance industry profitable while pushing all the major costs on the Fed.

SBS wouldn't care. He's already said he'd be glad to pay more to the Fed is it meant people getting care. I explained to him that it could happen without the Feds involved and all he had to do was personally pay bills for those folks.

[CFM]

Racist.

My vote wasn't based on skin color. I didn't think his skin color was a qualification or a disqualification.

What I'm hoping for is that so many people leave their private insurance, that all those companies go under. Now until that happens, it might cost the federal government some money, unless they refuse to pick up the difference. Hopefully, they will refuse that, while also encouraging people to make the switch.

Calling him a "negger" and calling others "n-word lover" is the issue, you obvious racist.

Maybe, but the point is the private insurance will try to push off the most costly clients while keeping the least costly. That's how they profit in general - that's why Obamacare is a partial failure.

You're new, so to speak, so you missed the explanation of why none of those terms is racist.

I believe that as much as I believe you're married and have university degrees - while posting on a politics forum at 3 am.

Facts don't require your belief only the truth.

Hey, if we have Medicare for All, then let them. As long as everyone has the option of a good healthcare system.

In other words, use government force to get people to do what you want?

That's a nice feel good thing to say but part of the issue is that healthcare is so complicated, and unexpected things happen that might not be covered, who knows if you're really getting a good plan at a fair price.

Someone without care now can have it if you're willing to prove you care as much as you claim. Pay their bills but don't take credit if taxpayers do it because you refuse.

He, like all you lefties, aren't worried about a good plan or the price. Your concern is that the government controls your life.

... Are you illiterate?

[CFM]

... Are you illiterate?

I can read what you say. It's clear that's not what you mean.

You lefties claim to care about people that don't have proper coverage/care. Funny thing is you show it by wanting someone else taxed to fund it while taking credit as if it actually came from your pocket. You lefties are more than willing to spend someone else's money.
