So the "Bern" admitted publicly that "free" health care for everyone is not really free. (Question below).

He plans to jack everyone's taxes...everyone...to pay for it. You won't be able to get healthcare at little or no cost through your employer anymore. You will be forced to take the so-called "free" "Medicare for All". No choice for you. And it will cost about double (or triple out of your net paycheck) compared to what Medicare costs now, because so many more people will have to be covered.

So my question is for all the people struggling to pay off enormous college loans. You lose the little to no cost employee heatlh care at work, you are still paying off your college loans, but your net paycheck is going to go DOWN, because your taxes are going to go way up.

So...if the "Bern" does what he wants to do and forces us into Medicare for all, how are you going to be able to pay your college loans and the new healthcare cost and still afford to eat?

And for seniors and others receiving specialized health treatments such as cancer treatments now on their private health insurance, are you aware that Medicare does not cover specialized health treatments such as advanced immunotherapy or gene therapy? How many seniors will be forced to go on welfare and Medicaid because they can't pay for their rent and pay more for Medicare?

Just asking.

Medicare (and I am a recipient of that) wasn't just given out. When you hit a certain age, the Government, basically made you take it, at least Part A. So, Sanders and probably others of his ilk have deemed it appropriate to render Medicare (What part(s)?) to "everyone". That seems to indicate there is no age requirement. But this is the "redistribution of wealth" horse shit the Democrats and Socialists, like Clinton, Obama and Sanders believe and are into. No, it is not free. Nothing such as any "social program"(welfare, section 8 housing, food stamps) are free...we the taxpayers are funding that, and if these malcontents in their socialist minds want this, they don't have the courage to say, "It's free, but you'll have to pay higher taxes to support these programs". Nothing is free...the taxpayers are the ones burdened with it. And it comes from a supporter of the redistribution of wealth who has a 6 figure log cabin on Lake Champlaign. He going to "re-distribute" that too, letting illegals for example, or welfare recipients stay there? I Doubt that.

@soar2newhighs Mediocre for all!

Before he fucks with taxes, our money (health too!) let him get his shit together. But I think he's got bigger worries...the Dems are far from through, fucking him over.@puck61

@soar2newhighs That is what has me in such a good mood lately! The Dems are seriously fucking each other over like never before! They are doubling down on the policies that gave Trump the victory in 16 with interest!! It's wonderful, but it is almost hard to believe! This is what happens when people come from a place of 'emotion' rather than from a place of logic!

@puck61 You are right about the emotional part. I heard something funny on the news the other day. Pete Buttigieg is a hot contender lately because he is good looking and almost as well spoken as Obama. He even says some of the exact same sentences as Obama, and appears to be channeling him.

So they are saying that when the Democrats choose a candidate they want to fall in love, 😂and when Republicans choose a candidate they want to listen to the issues.

And Buttigieg is everything the Dems can love. He has absolutely no plans, so he doesn't scare the anti-socialists, and he is so, so, so politically correct because he is gay and admits it. Hey...if they can't have Hillary, a gay guy is the next best thing...😂

@soar2newhighs I'll just take a slightly different position on the Medicare - they don't force it on you - it is what they damn well better provide since they have been wage taxing you for 40 plus years. same thing with social security - it isn't a handout if you've been paying the tax for decades.

(not arguing with anything else you said)
