So you support SOCIALIZED MEDICINE and fail to comprehend that WHEN "Medicare for All" is implemented that GOVERNMENT controls the wages and the MEANS for all health care in this nation. That, by YOUR VERY OWN DEFINITION, is SOCIALISM!! There will NO LONGER be any "for profit" ANYTHING regarding medical care.maineman » 29 Jan 2023, 12:06 pm » wrote: ↑ I am a proud, retired Naval Officer, an unrepentant capitalist, and a defense hawk who supports a strong, proactive, muscular military... and I support democratically approved social safety nets and I support a woman's right to chose. I am NOT a socialist.
I support expanding medicare to reach more people. Medicare is an effective and efficient program and American seniors love it. I can recall, during the tea party heyday of 2010, there was a rally and some old geezer had a sign that read, "Keep your socialist hands off my Medicare". Classic!! Nothing in Medicare makes doctors employees of the state. Nothing in Medicare places hospitals under government ownership. Medicare for all is simply an expanded safety net, which citizen in a representative democracy can vote to approve. It isn't SOCIALISM no matter how much you whine to the contrary.
Do you think that Doctors and Hospitals get paid TODAY based on what they bill Medicare?? Nope, they don't, but they currently GET whatever Medicare says they will get, doofus!! Make that a program MANDATED by government for everyone, and you have FULL CONTROL OVER WAGES AND INCOMES OF ALL MEDICAL PERSONNEL with GOVERNMENT CONTROL!!
