    That’s right Chip, we want those who aren’t rich to die before they drag the country down.

    So, Chip’s a big fan of the insurance companies, whose only point of existence is to make health care more expensive while limiting the provision of actual health care. They are the real threat to patients and their doctors.

    Why do so-called ‘conservatives’ hate the concept of Americans getting health care when they cannot afford to pay for it?

    Because Bernie is an “elite status” he’d have nothing to worry about. Reforms taken should follow Montana’s example. However, the elites don’t want their “good thing” messed with.

    Bernie has the advantage of Congress’ excellent health plan. He wants to ensure that all in the U.S. have the same. Socialist or humane?

    The point is that there will be significant rationing and long waiting lists. He would not have had immediate treatment as he did.

    Any actual data on this? Other than anecdotal? People aren’t dying in the streets in droves in countries with public healthcare.

    From this side of the fence it we notice there is a health care debate in the US. What to call it.. Who gets coverage.. etc.. etc.. Why not.. just expand the coverage that Bernie has to include “EVERY” American. Let all Americans join “that” healthcare plan. No doubt there is a deduction on Bernie’s pay slip but I suspect it is “reasonable” and within the ability of most Americans to pay.

    Chip has the cartoon doctor saying Medicare for all would be bad. I have heard many real life doctors say they strongly support Medicare for all. Medicare is their most reliable payer, in contrast to the private insurance companies. They hate the time and expense they have to spend following up on claims, and would rather use those energies caring for their patients.

    Making a joke about someone’s illness is not funny… except to conservative humor. Make fun of people when they’re down.

    He doesn’t need Medicare, he can afford to pay the Hospital bill, in full, out of his millions.

    Congress is covered under the ACA; it is similar to what large employers offer. They do get a couple of extra perks – they can go to military facilities and for a fee they get access to the Office of the Attending Physician.

    They got him just in time to pay thousands of dollars out-of-pocket. Hooray! Listen Chip Bok, if you don’t understand how Medicare for All works, don’t make stupid comments on it until you do.

    So he gets to pay an arm and a leg for his capitalist health care.

    I’ve been on Medicare for several years. What’s the problem? I get great care from great doctors. Medicare just helps with the bills.

    It’s good to remember that the so-called “conservatives” lie about EVERY issue. Health care is NOT an exception.

    And what has Trump done to instigate his “great” healthcare plan? We’re waiting…

    Crooked liar Trump said he would reveal his health care plan as soon as he is reelected. You have to be an idiot to believe anything that pathological liar says.

    At least this isn’t as utterly mean spirited as yesterday’s Stiglich. Though still wrong headed and wrong hearted.
