    Oh I agree...they are no doubt playing the costs down. I was just relaying what they are claiming. Just like they keep claiming there are only 11 million illegals here...only problem is, they've been throwing out that same figure for years. Given the fact they keep coming by the 1000's each month, pretty much makes that figure moot.

    Rule of thumb, those trying to sell something advocating for change, usually play down the cost greatly.

    And who do you suppose funds the development of that tech ?

    I can show “multiple links” also that show your wrong.

    Universities do the lions share of the work. And Yes, private business does do the marketing, I’m not debating that. But the development of the tech costs so much more than marketing that tech ;)

    You remember when Slater asked the goofy kid in dazed and confused if he was cool, and kid said, "like how". Then, the stoner Slater shrugged realized that the kid was clueless and shrugged and said, "ok?".

    I think Medicare for ALL is the only way to go; anything which doesn't eliminate the middlemen who are stealing billions will ultimately fail, all while millions die.

    The ACA was to make insurance companies even richer.

    Medicare for all is a fantasy.

    Individual liberty is becoming more and more difficult to explain to free loaders. Too many people are willing to give up their freedom for the promise of a fantasy. It never ends well.

    “People often say, like, ‘how are you going to pay for it?’ And I find the question so puzzling, because, how do you pay for something that’s more affordable?” Ocasio-Cortez said.

    She's a thinker!
