Some are going ballistic over the Republicans disastrous repeal of Obamacare. I, on the other hand, am ecstatic, because Medicare for All, here we come!!!!

I say this because the health insurance industry (and some other parts of health care) are corrupt. They no longer operate based on win-win deals. Their economic model is all about “the ripoff!”

I believe, once an industry is corrupted it cannot be saved. Thus, IMHO, things will only get worse until we do a government takeover. In that vein, the Republican plan will be a big help, and the best example is found in the article, “The GOP health bill is a $600 billion tax cut — almost entirely for the wealthy.”

Obamacare has taxes on the rich an others to pay for health care. The Republicans are now giving a 600 billion dollar tax break to the rich, and still think the average American will see lower costs.

Ain't going to happen! Medicare for All, here we come! Worse and better, going to Me...See More

Beyond that, the complaint “Obamacare did also not” is giving ...See More

"Analysis from the Brookings Institution says that 15
million people could lose coverage under Speaker Paul
Ryan’s American Health Care Act. The Congressional Budget
Office (CBO) has yet to score the Ryan plan, although the
Brookings Institution’s report does not bode well for the
House leadership’s bill.

T.E.C. - Iowa About "those wonderful VA hospitals", they are doing as
will as can be expected given the funding and the massive
increase in patients with our 15 year war and the aging
Vietnam veterans. Plus, lots of Americans can only wish to
get the health care the veterans get, and those Americans
are living in the richest and stingies...See More
