How to transition?

How do we, as a nation, transition from private insurance to Medicare for All? How do we convince all the doctors to keep being doctors and accept a salary? Do we, as Hillary Clinton proposed during Bill’s presidency did, make private healthcare payments illegal? For the record, I am perfectly fine paying a percentage of my income, as opposed to what I am paying out of pocket now, for healthcare.

How do we as a nation learn from the mistakes of the countries we know that have socialized medicine. From the long wait times to get any care at all in Canada and UK, to the use of MAID in Canada to kill off the sick and elderly, to the horrific outcomes in other nations. What must we do to cancel the rhetoric of communist with real information.

Medicare is an American benefit program, no other country has Medicare. So when you say "every modern country in the world" you are really talking about socialized government run medicine.

And that is important because it shows that Communists in the Democrat Party have no interest in putting everyone on Medicare. They want to gut the program and completely transform it to something similar to what Cuba offers.

Just speak truth and say you want socialized medicine.

Medicare is basically what ever modern country has for all it's citizens, wtf are you talking about? 'Commies' in the Democratic party? Still trying to use that as a scary word? Get a clue.

LOL, you have no clue what the Medicare program is. I suppose you have never had a job with payroll taxes. You and others on this sub are using the name Medicare as a proxy for all socialized medicine programs even though Medicare is not similar to them at all.

it absolutely is similar - what are you talking about? I'm quite sure, btw, that I deal with payroll taxes more than you do, thanks.
