Just out of curiosity, how do you expect for that bill to be paid? Do you really think taxing the rich will pay for it? There's not a single trillionaire in the entire US and less than a thousand billionaires. 51 Trillion is a ridiculous amount.. for comparison the US defence budget(which is massive) doesn't even add up to ONE trillion a year.
How do you expect to pay for it? I don't think for a second Liz Warren's plan is ever going to happen. The only thing that matters here is that she acknowledges the system is broken. That American's are paying twice as much as any other nation on the planet per capita for healthcare and not getting top quality care. Our system sucks and to criticize is to suggest what we have now is working. It's not.
You guys are pathetic. So much compassion for middle management health insurance workers? WTF? Can't stand taxes but take a look at your yearly taxes vs yearly healthcare bill. I know I'm paying three times as much for my family healthcare as I'm paying in taxes. At this point, taxes are chump change. Healthcare is breaking America.
Healthcare is overpriced- until you need it. Also, most of that expense is due to government regs, having them control more will NEVER decrease prices.
Healthcare is overpriced ESPECIALLY when you need it!
Most of that expense is due to gov regs? Get out of here!
The highest paid individual in every location with a hospital, is the CEO of that hospital. You don't know what you're talking about and are simply using cliche's as talking points.
