(13,622 posts)One way or another, things have to shake out so we get health care for what we can afford to pay. If that means we cut out the middlemen and insurance company execs are out of a job, so be it. They do a crappy job for us anyway.

(13,622 posts)their employers put into their healthcare, can instead be paid to get them into the public plan and as long as they work at that company.

(4,516 posts)I think that kind of bull shit is meant to keep Bernie's base hanging in there. It helps them feel like they are the holy crusaders going against the big bad establishment.
Bernie is old news. His campaign hangs in there out of pure hatred and meanness.

(67,782 posts)....don't really understand how it works.
Many confuse "health care" with "health care insurance", two distinctly different things.

(3,336 posts)Why does anyone feel as if they would rather keep the private healthcare option, where they are paying a company money to profit on whether you are sick, or get the healthcare when you need it?
As someone who was a young teen mom and went over a decade with no health insurance at all, had been on private insurance, have gotten insurance through the exchange, AND gotten Medicaid from the state during my pregnancy...I can't figure it out for the life of me.
Even if you are one of the lucky ones who DO get health insurance through your job, most times you still have to be rich to afford the things that health insurance won't cover. Have an emergency surgery or a kid that has an accident, you may still be making payments 10 years later. I hate the healthcare in this country.

Nina Turner is stupid and probably on meth. Brihana Joy-Grey is just plain brainwashed -- but Sirota is the evil one who works to defeat Democrats.

(58,785 posts)AFTER THE PLAN OF THOUSANDS OF PAGES WAS WRITTEN AND PASSED to fully implement by his OWN estimate. That's presuming it would be. Note that it could not be completed and in place within one presidential term, and the Republican leadership is determined to destroy all national healthcare plans.
In the meantime, though, Sander has already started voting to block improvements to the ACA to make it what it was always intended to be -- for purely political reasons. People already really like the ACA. Every improvement would lower support for the comparable plan that he is styling as HIS, not the Democratic Party's.
The last bill he joined McConnel to block in the senate would have lowered premiums, increased coverages, and made other improvements.
This is all part of why I regard what he's doing as highly immoral and harmful. Potentially disastrously so, but we're not going to let him gamble with our healthcare.

(19,568 posts)2020 is going to be much tougher than some people anticipate.
Focus, this isn't going to be the cake walk some seem to think it will. This is a referendum on Trump, not a pick nits moment for Dems. Got it?!
