I too once met a girl in Central Park, but it is not much to remember. What I remember is the time John Wayne killed three men with a carbine as he was falling to the dusty street in Stagecoach, and the time the kitten found Orson Welles in the doorway in The Third Man.

Red is just glad trump is committing the treason he’s too cowardly to commit himself. Red hates this country because he’s lived here his whole life and still feels like a piece of shit.

The public would rather hear a lie about how much things are going to cost (and who is going to pay that cost), then a realistic answer that the exact amount is impossible to know.

Developed countries with single-payer average about half the healthcare cost per capita of the US.   And have average longer lifespans.   Shouldn't be that hard to get such facts out there before the electorate.   Just one example...

Costa Rica is running on clean energy now.

Puerto Rico, Australia, the Philippines, and others need to follow Costa Rica.

California is going green quickly, and my Mother has solar panels on the roof of her home in the desert, where it is always sunny, and she said that solar is wonderful.

Salute,

Doesn’t she know she’s killing the Russian economy?

Trump will never get his Moscow tower if Americans switch to solar.

Another big plus to veterans by the present administration. Dems want to take it away and give it to aliens and college students.

These are some great ideas. They should definitely be incorporated into Medicare for All.

Care givers are very important. I’ve done both parents (cancer & cancer) and an ex-wife (got better & moved on). Very glad the bulk of my nearest and dearest are partnered up. I’d like to take a decade or so off from primary care giving, if the fates allow.

Nothing in the article is anything that could be taken away and given to aliens or college students. Nor does most of it cost. It requires paying attention to what they are doing.

Meanwhile, your selective vision ignores articles like this:
https://www.militarytimes.com/news/your-military/2020/02/19/these-military-clinics-will-stop-taking-200000-non-active-duty-patients-heres-the-list/

These military clinics will stop taking 200,000 non-active duty patients. Here’s the list.

Quote
More than 200,000 Tricare beneficiaries, including 80,000 active-duty family members, will no longer be seen at 37 military health clinics across the country in the coming years, according to a Department of Defense report sent to Congress Wednesday.

The Pentagon is planning major changes to 50 military health facilities that will force many beneficiaries to find civilian doctors in their communities over the course of two to four years.

This is not a plus for those families.

Developed countries with single-payer average about half the healthcare cost per capita of the US.
So what?  Americans have no inclination to turn their Health Care over to the Government.
Especially those who rely on employers or Seniors opting for Medicare Advantage plans. They never have and the failures of ObamaCare ( i.e.you can keep your doctor) solidified that opposition.

Bernie doesnt want the facts about the $ 52 trillion dollar cost of his “plan” known.  He is a demagogue .  Americans are not stupid.

Why?  Why was the change made?

And what is the actual loss to these patients?
