Medicare for all is the best system for patients and for the economy. It will make businesses more competitive internationally, Sure taxes will rise, but so will salaries as medical insurance premiums paid to insurance companies by individuals and business vanish! Administrative costs of health care will be significantly reduced and coverage will increase with the money saved. Goods and services will become less expensive. I am astounded that so called pro business Republicans are against this very pro business system
"Sure taxes will rise, but so will salaries as medical insurance premiums paid to insurance companies by individuals and business vanish!"
This part I'm not sure about. If companies can continue paying lower wages, they will. But, most businesses will at st least be able to pay more, whether they choose to or not.

I agree 100%, but this would cut into profits for insurance companies, and just remember who sits on the boards of these insurance companies? Many of these very same former republican lawmakers!

Here are a few clues for you. The 1st is GOP lawmakers buying insurance stock in anticipation of the repeal of the ACA, the other is actual board members of former lawmakers, some are democrats, but look who leads the way. The 3rd is an overview. Former GOP lawmaker Eric Cantor has his little fingers in many pies.
Once the single payer system has been passed, it will be the moment when the rise of the oceans start to slow and our planet began to heal, and the lion lays down in peace with the lamb.

Hopefully that will be the same day you take the vow of silence!

Whodey has been conditioned by his puppet masters to disregard any factual evidence that universal health care coverage is the economically and morally sensible thing to do. Whenever he absorbs too much real world information, he quickly reaches back to Reichbart or a similar source of misinformation to cleanse himself of the muck of reality.

Just tired of being lied to and stolen from.
The same voices that sold us all the lie of Obamacare is selling us the single payer scheme.
I don't really want to wind up like the poor veterans in Arizona single payer system put on death lists cuz they are too expensive and sick to treat in an under funded government program.
The liberal mind is a curious thing. If you ask them, do you want free education? Sure! Do you want free housing? Sure! Do you want a free retirement? Sure! Do you want free butt wipers for the rest of your life? Sure, it's our natural right!
Then all of as sudden a single payer system is a good thing because it will save us money? Really? Concerned about saving money are we?

Whodey is obviously content that millions of fellow Americans have still have no insurance and everyone else is over paying for healthcare that too often is less than the best (if measured by cost verses overall results.)
