Howard Schultz is very busy walking back his latest comments on Medicare for all. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down.
Read more here:
"Former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz walked back his denunciation of Medicare for all Tuesday night, downgrading his insult from “un-American” to “unaffordable.”
“It’s not that it’s not American,” Schultz told CNN’s Poppy Harlow. “It’s unaffordable.”
“What I believe is that every American has the right to affordable health care as a statement,” he added.
Schultz giveth, Schultz taketh away. To replace Medicare for all, he labeled a new thing un-American during the interview: that Dreamers don’t have a pathway to citizenship."

The country has spoken, support for Medicare for all is almost at consensus levels. Sorry conservatives its all but inevitable at this point.
+Mark Broadhurst i tried to find these super low polls that you talk about, i cant. I think you might be citing those push polls done by fox news and other right wing outlets. If you ask people loaded questions like “do you support an unconstitutional government takeover of your healthcare?” you will certainly get a negative response. When you ask them straight non-leading questions like “would you support single payer healthcare?” Those polls get between 60 and 70 percent. Why do you right wingers have to play word games? Can’t we just have an honest conversation?
56.8 million Americans already have a Single-Payer / Beveridge healthcare system with Medicare and VA . Both have been scaled up numerous times since inception . It’s not that difficult to scale up again to provide comprehensive coverage at much reduced costs and better outcomes .
Mark Broadhurst ……. Now, that’s pure bullshit . Even the most virulent Republican recidivists know not to attack Medicare directly because of its overwhelming popularity; even with Republicans at 65% . Why they use code language like ‘reform’, or ‘improving’, …never abolishing .
Mark B . …….. Wrong again . Popular support for the VA is around 90% . Most DO want more funding, in particular for more mental health services, at around 75% . Not ‘hate’ . Americans, especially vets, like the VA, but think it could be better if MORE comprehensive …the opposite of your argument .
Mark B. …. Are you on drugs ? WTF is that gobble-de-gook you last wrote ?
Unless u support single payer health care , energy reform , justice reform , legalization of marijuana on every level , eliminating corruption at every level , and a universal income , u don’t get my vote
+Jonny B It’s already proven through studies that if you give people a UBI the vast majority of those people, 98%, will reinvenst that $ to help improve their lives so they can make more $.
Schultz 2020
LinusMLGTips bullshit stats
Jonny B ubi will destroy workforce and competition. Why should anyone work if rich people are going to pay our bills lmao . We could just stay home collect and sell dope. Me and gf will have a bunch of kids. Dont worry you got us on free healthcare , free college, ubi , what else you can get me Free? Housing food
Warren drops the hammer on Schultzy.
Health insurance companies should be abolished. How ridiculous is it that a service is so overpriced that you have to pay someone else to pay your bills. Everyone needs or will need healthcare, it’s not a matter of insurance. They’re predatory and unnecessary.
We need a jobs program for bored billionaires…
Or a hobby such as Paint by Numbers or Words with Friends.
Bernie- the time has come to end corruption in politics and give people the health care that they need funded by our tax dollars.
Warren- we need to end corruption in Wall Street and make sure we hold bankers accountable and prosecute them for being criminals.
Schultz- I don’t want to pay taxes.
Brandon Zuniga YUP WE CAN TRUST A LIFELONG GOVERNMENT WORKER WITH SPENDING. LOL BERN WILL NEVER RUN OUT OF OTHER PEOPLES MONEY HE CAN AFFORD EVERYTHING HE PROMISED.
Guitar Smoke why all caps?
To hell with all these clowns. I want Sanders/Warren 2020.
Colony Three the one percent of the one percent lmao you can trust me im Bernie the only life long government worker who wont screw you. I can afford everything i promised dont worry just give me a couple trillion more out of your economy feel the bern
The government can easily afford medicare for all and free college. When something is a priority (like wars to enrich defense contractors), they always find the money for it.
*Starbucks is avoiding taxes in Europe!*
Anyone a little bit familiar with this case knows that Starbucks under Howard Schultz avoided millions in corporate taxes. His greenwashing tactics with his “corporate social responsibility” programs are just to distract people from Starbucks actual business policies.
Europe is not the USA. Get a life
J N – the place does not matter. it tells you everything about their business ethics. – exploit the system to maximize your profits, while telling consumers a differnt story. damn you fools are ignorant
1 million seconds is equal to 11 days
1 billion seconds is equal to 32 years
1 trillion seconds is equal to 32 thousand years
Think about that and realize how much money these people have
Damn
9:12 I love Ana’s statement!! I agree 100% Heath-care should not be tied to our employer…
No it shouldn’t and if it wasn’t it would probably spur an explosion in inventions, the arts, and new businesses.
yes I know many people in that situation!
Howard Schultz won’t even make it to the debates. I give him maybe two weeks to a month before he gives up.
That will be longer than Junk’s boy Ojeda lasted before he folded like a deck of cards.
He seems like the living dead. Get him some jump cables.
I hate how this jackass was able to buy his way into the conversation. Ojeda deserved 10x the coverage this guy is getting.
It just keeps piling on, day after day. They are robbing us AND the world! We need to stop them. They know the revolution is starting and they are going to steal as much as they can until they lose and hopefully, put in jail!
We need the green new deal and the wealth tax.
To quote George Carlin, “They call it The American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe it.”.
He validated every stereotype about the rich. Nice work.
Healthcare for all is not American, its Canadian and Western European . American is living with health problems
I stayed a job far longer than I should have and stifled my career progression because I had great insurance. Then they laid me off and I had to scramble for a job that has terrible benefits. We. Need. Single. Payer. Healthcare!
Lleu81 if it’s tenable and affordable
Red Pill, Blue Pill
Schultz is trying to protect his fortune it’s as simple as that. Just another arrogant self-centered billionaire a******
