I think all of us think that single payer


health care is a good idea.

So is that all we need to do just agree that it is a good idea?

We elect Bernie and the next thing you know all health care providers set up for single payer. They will be willing to work longer hours for less reimbursement.

Medical clinics will invest in more equipment to cover the increased number of patients though their reimbursement goes to Medicare levels.

Insurance companies will shut their doors and lay everyone off and their investor's stock will go to zero value.

The wealthy will agree to pay higher taxes because they want health care for all.

Colleges will crank out more medical professionals who pay nothing for tuition and books.

Yep vote for Bernie because no problem is so big we can't ignore it.

1. Yep, all that will happen when pigs fly.

Right now, you can rarely find a rural doctor who will even take medicare. They sure as hell won't take a "medicare for all" patient and they damn sure won't upgrade their equipment.

Ouch.

I'm afraid I can't tell whether Upaloopa is using those ironic turns of phrase to criticize American society while supporting Bernie, or saying that Bernie and his Bernlievers are just idiots.

I give that post a D.

4. Ask just about any Bernie supporter and they'll tell you,...
 the real work begins after the election.

Is that like "we'll pass it and then find out later what's in it".  Like that worked out so well the last time.   :hammer:

Your sarcasm and lack of magical groupthink is noted, Comrade.

Liberal thinking is a two-legged stool and magical thinking is one of the legs, the other is a combination of self-loating and misanthropy.  To understand it, you would have to be able to sit on that stool while juggling two elephants, an anvil and a fragmentation grenade, sans pin.

I stopped reading after that. When a DUmbass talks about thinking, I ignore them because thinking is not something DUmbasses do very well.

Libs never seem to be able to distinguish the difference between health care, and health insurance.

Actually, the post was deviously brilliant. "Putting all the insurance people out of work? Yippee! We got single payer! We now have health care but can't afford to feed our kids!"
