Can Medicare For All Become A Reality?

    • Yes! Then you don’t need daddy government to put a gun to your head when they want to steal from Peter to heal Paul.

  1. This will never work in America because everything in America revolves around making money. As soon as you do something that threatens to deny an executive even one dollar, it will be shot down immediately.

  2. Single Payer is the way to go.
    Cut out the insurance vampires altogether…
    Tax the rich a marginal tax.
    And cut the bloated Military by half or more.
    The money is there….
    If we can print up Fiat money on a whim for the military corporations, and for endless war,
    we can do the same for the health of our citizenry

  3. On Medicare now, NO DENIALS! ANY DOCTOR! Can’t wait till MED4ALL improved coverage means no part B payment and dental/vision coverage. Paid Trolls are thick today, No? Wonder how much they get paid? I wonder if the trolls get PAID MEDICAL INSURANCE! BAWHAHAHA

  4. The Heath insurance companies made 70 billion in profit last year…that’s money that they took from you and told you…no you can’t see your doctor….And as you died as they pocketed your money…not to mention the billions they spend in over head to keep their corporate vampire skimming machines running.

    Get rid of the Heath insurance companies and direct every single penny into Single Payer.
    And then go to the doctor you want…get the health care you need.

    And as we tax the rich a marginal tax of 70 to 90 percent…even more money goes towards the Single payer system…
    And cutting the Military budget in half or more…even m ore money for the regular people..
    If we can Create (print) Fiat money at the drop of a hat…on a whim …for the military corporations…we can do the same for health care…Presto!

  5. Finland’s PM Sipilä and his cabinet resigned recently after failing in their attempts to further privatize the country’s healthcare system. The system that studies have shown to be one of the most cost-effective. The system that offers the highest quality of care. The system that is built on the principles of equality and evidence-based data (instead of arbitrarily denying care).

    The opposition criticized privatization because private corporations (which avoid paying their fair share in taxes) would essentially steal money from the tax-payer funded public system. This would cause the public system to weaken if not collapse. While some people would be able to shop privately for healthcare they don’t even necessarily need (the customer is always right mentality), there would be less resources to provide scientifically reasonable care to those who actually need healthcare. 

    This, among other reasons like more healthy and productive days, is why I agree with Alex Lawson in demanding Medicare for all, not just for some.

  6. The insurance companies need to stop running the show. This is one of the weaknesses of Obamacare and why prices keep going up.

  7. It will happen no matter what. It’s just going to take time. It is already a reality in many developed Countries around the world.

  8. Medicare for ALL.

    That’s what I experienced in Europe, decades ago, when I was sick.

    That’s what I experience in Canada.

    I never wait much beyond an hour or so as other people JUST LIKE ME are getting seen.

    Wazzzza problem? 😉

    RACISM. Plain and simple.

  9. WE ALL HAD TO BELIEVE IN THE FUTURE WHEN WE STARTED OUT. AMORTIZING OUR EDUCATION TO CORPORATE CAPITALIST UNIVERSITIES AND THE CRIMINAL BANKS AND FINANCIAL ORGANIZATIONS HAHA 2008 FINANCIAL CRISIS

  10. TAX THE BILLIONAIRES AND MULTINATIONAL CORPORATIONS THAT HAVE NO LOYALTY TO A COUNTRY JUST THE BOTTOM LINE. PAY TAXES LIKE THE REST OF US. LET US DEVOTE THE TAXES TO THE COUNTRY

  11. I’m glad tyt can break it down for slow people like me lol. Thank you for not fast talking and saying it in a way that I can understand. I appreciate tyt for making it simple and not boring

    • The opposite of single payer universal is racism.

      WE quote: “Well, cant do it cuz certain groups don’t pull their weigh”

      “certain groups.”

      Mmm hm.
