Medicare For All: Progressive Campaign Killer

It's even WORSE when you read this "Medicare-for-All" piece of socialistic sh!t... but thank you for the link.

The first thing that that hits you is that it covers all "RESIDENTS" -- legal or not -- so, that means that all the millions of illegal aliens in this country would qualify for all the benefits being paid for by CITIZENS. From your link, here it is, with my emphasis added to interesting text:

"Shown Here:
Introduced in Senate (04/10/2019)
Medicare for All Act of 2019

This bill establishes a national health insurance program that is administered by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

Among other requirements, the program must (1) cover all U.S. residents; (2) provide for automatic enrollment of individuals upon birth or residency in the United States; and (3) cover items and services that are medically necessary or appropriate to maintain health or to diagnose, treat, or rehabilitate a health condition, including hospital services, prescription drugs, mental health and substance abuse treatment, dental and vision services, and home- and community-based long-term care.

The bill prohibits cost-sharing (e.g., deductibles, coinsurance, and copayments) and other charges for covered services, with the exception of prescription drugs. Additionally, private health insurers and employers may only offer coverage that is supplemental to, and not duplicative of, benefits provided under the program.

Health insurance exchanges and specified federal health programs terminate upon program implementation. However, the program does not affect coverage provided through the Department of Veterans Affairs or the Indian Health Service. Additionally, state Medicaid programs must cover certain institutional long-term care services.

The bill also establishes a series of implementing provisions relating to (1) health care provider participation; (2) HHS administration; and (3) payments and costs, including the requirement that HHS negotiate prices for prescription drugs and establish a formulary.

Individuals who are age 18 or younger may enroll in the program starting one year after enactment of this bill; other individuals may buy into a transitional plan or an expanded Medicare program at this time, depending on age. The bill's program must be fully implemented four years after enactment."

Next question... who the hell is actually going to PAY for this monstrosity?! If you work for a living, and you pay taxes, go look in the mirror! The poor schmuck looking back at you is going to PAY for all of it, and he's going to have to wait in long lines filled with hordes of parasites who will PAY FOR NOTHING!
