Schultz Walks Back Denunciation Of Medicare For All As 'Un-American'

https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/schultz-walks-back-denunciation-medicare-for-all

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.”


Shultz sounds like... ANOTHER ... Disconnected dumb ass'd billionaire.

And the old 'unaffordable' excuse is ridiculous on it's face. We already are paying/spending far more per person on healthcare than any other country in the world. America is already paying for 'socialised' medicine, in fact far more than it would actually cost, we just are not getting it. One of the multiplicity of rackets going on in our country.

He probably isn't as crazy as Trump but he sure as hell shouldn't be president.
