(10,252 posts)Let's be clear. If we can have an army for all, a navy for all, an air force and coast guard for all, a post office for all, national parks for all, an instate highway for all, then we can damn well have medicare for all, and at a lot cheaper cost than what we have now. If that means cutting the military budget and raising taxes on rich people, OK by me.
and let's be clear about the GOP argument that there will be long waiting times to see a Dr. The only reason that there's aren't enough Drs is because we don't educate and graduate enough of them. Also the AMA wants to keep the number of graduating DRs low to ensure that practicing Dr can keep their a steady supply of patients high and their fees high.
And what value exactly do insurance companies add to the mix, except to skim off fees.
So bullshit on all the arguments about why medicare for all is impossible.
Yes it's socialized medicine. So what?
