[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What percentage of Americans currently have really great employee sponsored health care?[/quote]

About half of our population has employer sponsored healthcare.  
And, the majority of those are quite satisfied with their coverage.  [/quote]

So screw the other half, right?  That's 163 MILLION PEOPLE - many of whom are CHILDREN - who don't have employer sponsored healthcare.  The world doesn't end at the end of your nose.  [/quote]

DP here. It isn’t true anyway. Most people on employer health insurance are NOT satisfied. Maybe that was true 10 years ago. Most people I know have high premiums, high deductibles and a fraction of the coverage they used to have.[/quote]

...and the reason for those premiums and deductibles is called Obamacare.

Now the same geniuses who passed ACA want to push free Medicare for All. They would paralize our country for a decade.[/quote]

Right, deductibles, premiums, and out of pocket expenses that increased like clockwork before Obamacare suddenly increased because of Obamacare when it was passed. BS. You just got a scapegoat other than the insurance/pharma/hospital industry. [/quote]

Nope, it's the same scapegoat -- Obama got in bed with the insurance/ pharma/ hospital industry in order to pass ACA.

Own it. ACA is Obama's legacy.[/quote]

I am very happy there is no longer a lifetime max. GOP in congress hamstrung ACA.  Please don't rewrite history. [/quote]

You're the one rewriting history.

Plus, if you're so happy, why the push to restart the whole thing from scratch.[/quote]
DP.. people are happy that there are no more lifetime caps and those with pre-existing conditions can now get coverage.   Everyone acknowledges that something needs to be done about rising health care costs.

Medicare for all will help reduce costs simply because of the size of the purchasing power.  I don't agree it should be free for all. There should be means testing, just as there is now.

Rs haven't been able to pass their own plan; Trump can't even come up with a plan.

Dems have come up with a plan. If Rs have a better plan to reduce the cost across the board, we're all ears.[/quote]

Free Medicare for All + abolishing private insurance is not a plan. It's chaos.

I prefer an imperfect status quo to utter chaos. As I suspect most moderates do, by definition.[/quote]
I stated up thread... they won't be able to implement "free for all".  Status quo is ACA.  I'm a moderate.[/quote]
