Fox Audience Supports Sanders Medicare For All Idea

[dillo]

90% of healthcare costs come from the elderly, adding the rest of the population wouldn't add that much cost.

Yes it will, people who get things for free tend to massively increase their use of them.

This is correct.

Obama/Romney Care is doing exactly what is was designed to do: fail spectacularly and raise costs to insufferable levels in order to corral idiot AmeriKa into full government run "healthcare".

I have basically always had insurance in the individual health care market which what Romneycare/OCare affects. The cost relative to the group market is absolutely insane. I am fortunate I can afford it and that I am still fairly young (35) but the cost is going to be ridiculous over the next 20 years.

A lot of people were motivated to vote Republican because Ocare increased premiums. But the Republicans are going to lose voters if they don't address this issue. The current system basically fucks any self-employed person or independent contractor in the butt who doesn't have a very low income. Let's say you cut hair and make 50k and have a kid. You don't qualify for subsidies but you are going to spend 10-20% of your income on insurance depending on how old you are. That's on top of the 15.3% you pay in FICA, property taxes, state taxes. and federal income tax.

Fortunately O'Bummercare has been declared unconstitutional and that will be upheld and enforce soon.

Have you looked into any of the associations to see if it could save you a chunk of money?

They probably packed the audience too, Faux is no longer even trying to be right wing or fair and balanced.

Good call. I have been so lazy on this stuff and have just been signing up through Blue Cross which weren't medically underwritten. The plan the guy got me had 60% lower deductible and had initial coverage for small stuff for the same price I was paying. The only difference was I wasn't lumped in the general risk pool.

Nixon was quite liberal.

Wilson , LBJ , Nixon & Obama have done more damage than people can imagine

Throw in FDR and you can't even try to imagine how much better things should have been.
