Seventy percent of Americans support 'Medicare for all' in new poll

Donald Trump's agenda is falling apart as he has no more Obama legacies to overturn after failing to overturn Obamacare.

Trump's border wall agenda badly needs healthcare because it is terminally ill.

The public has turned against Trump's health agenda by turning to support for universal health care with 70% support including majority support by Republican voters.

How long will it be before the public turns against other Trump initiatives?

Who is is going to pay for it? We paid for medicare thru payroll taxes.

 

Inform the seventy percent of the public that they will have to pay for the medicare of others who cannot afford it, including illegal aliens, and ask them if they still support medicare for all.

 

Insured Americans are already paying for the poor and elderly.. That's why costs and deductibles keep increasing.

 

and medical care for illegals. You forgot that.

 

Of course people who have nothing better to do than take phone surveys support this crap. Those who are either working or spending time raising their kids don't have that kind of time available.

Illegal aliens are killing people and so is obamacare.

 

We already pay for their ER visits

 

More that 60% of the healthcare dollar is spent on the elderly and premature babies.. Look up cost shifting.

 

Yeah... I'd like to see a much clearer breakdown of the demographics. 70% sounds too high.

 

One thing is for certain, the best way to deny medicare for all is to vote for medicare for all. The bigger the free pie becomes, the less of it becomes available.

 

They will because they are already paying for those same people right now.

 

It's not that I don't believe this poll, it's that I really Effing don't Effing believe this Effing poll.

 

Who in that poll has an extra $33 trillion dollars to spare to finance this massive Medicare expansion?

Any ideas? I mean any ideas that aren't wildly idiotic?

 

Now, now, SteveN. You will make yourself ill with apoplexy and taxpayers will have to rescue you.

 

You could start by raising the cap on payroll taxes.

 

They don't understand or perhaps have never heard of cost shifting.

30% of healthcare goes to administrative overhead. Every insurance carrier.. every HMO and PPO has different paperwork and drug schedules.

 

And you could start draining the oceans by sending a bunch of little girls with play pails down to the beach and removing the water
one pail at a time. But I think it would probably take a very long time.

 

That's not credible. Thirty three trillion is about $ 100,000 for every man woman and child in the USA.

You are at least one zero out. The only businesses profiting from Trumpcare are undertakers.

Yep....

$10,345 per person: U.S. health care spending reaches new peak

The whole point of Obamacare was to slow the hemorrhaging... Insurance costs continued to increase and so did deductibles.. as a result of cost shifting.

 

Oh, okay. Only $100,000 for every man, woman and child in the nation.

That's still way out of reach. Way out of reach especially for such a dubious product.

 

been dumping commies from government for almost a decade, now we're to believe everyone is a commie.

is this one of Nate Silver's abortions?

 

Ironic. It sounds like you are not one to be judging others.

 

Well you're not going to be paying a private insurer anymore, so I guess the money that you'd otherwise pay a private insurer will go to Medicare.

 

You still don't get it. Does Trump have to announce $10,000 per person for you to believe it?

 

I wasn't aware I would not believe your figure. Why are you wasting my time?
