The TheDemocrats have manufactured this healthcare crises and the media lapdogs have perpetuated. * Over 90% of Americans have healthcare * Medicaid is a safety net if we need it * We pay $57,000 per ACA enrollee for healthcare

Why?

Wow!!! Finally a better idea. That universal healthcare thing is just like the green dream.

Medicare for all is a very bad idea Democrats why are you supporting this? Fact the BEST solution was president Obama's ACA which needs to be fixed & reinstated NOT scrapped & repealed Government should PROVIDE health care NOT manage health care President Obama got it right

It's a good first step that, one day, could lead to universal health care. But if the 50-64 group would have to buy all of the supplemental policies w/no ACA protections, it could wind up costing more than existing ACA plans do now. They need to carefully analyze the costs.

You mean instead of forcing everyone to join and not letting people choose their coverage.

There is NO Divide! There is only getting to the best possible place efficiently!

anete_newt This is a more reasonable approach, SenStabenow .

Push for Medicare buy-in picks up with '50 and over' billThe plan would enable people between ages 50 and 65 to buy a private Medicare plan and obtain the same tax credits. I live in a country with National Health Insurance. I went to the doctor today for a bruised rib. I paid: $18 copay for the doctor. I paid $1.89 + $.74 + $11.25 for meds. What do you think this would have cost me in the US? HealthCareForAll healthcare A great start. Socialism on the march

Sherrod Brown separates from Dem pack on Medicare, 'Green New Deal' proposalsAs Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown considers a run for president, he says he doesn't need to back specific Medicare for All or Green New Deal proposals to prove he's a progressive 'Man dances the Charleston to prove his hip bona fides' Nope. That's literally the litmus test. He wants to ride the progressive wave without committing to the policies which started it. He is correct. However he will need to push an alternate that progressives would embrace or at the least entertain.

Sen. Rubio backs a new proposal to tackle one of Democrats' favorite talking pointsSen. Marco Rubio is the chairman of the Small Business Committee, which is releasing a report on the issue. It argues more equal rates would remove companies' incentives to buy back stock in the first place. You’re moving a little too left for me and I’m your constituent. Just reduce taxes on dividends. Liquidity of stocks is part of their intrinsic value. Reduce liquidity: reduce value. Taxing dividends is essentially double taxation of income previously taxed. Rubio must have some Castro in his DNA.

Republicans can’t wait to debate Medicare for AllBut the progressive Democrats clamoring for hearings on Medicare for All are embracing the calls from across the aisle. Yes because they've always presented credible, non fear mongering arguments. This will be one of the biggest mistakes Republicans have ever made. The case for Medicare for all is a slam dunk. The healthcare system we have now is a sham, where profit is made off of people’s illnesses. This will not end well for Billionaire loving Republicans. The Dems will manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory—-with all of these far left proposals. One of the 75,000 candidates on the left needs to wake up and manage to look like something that used to resemble Democratic Party. Trump needs to go! R’s won’t primary him.

Humana executives say Trump's drug rebate proposal would raise premiums, restrict consumer choiceThe Trump administration's plan to force insurers to pass on drug maker discounts to seniors at the pharmacy counter would upend the market and raise consumer premiums in the end, health insurance executives warned investors this week. Apparently health insurers make their money off the rebates from drugs provided to the customer. More drugs purchased, more rebates for the health insurers and more money for them.
