Re: 2020 Candidates
I am 100 percent behind universal health care for all. Whatever name you want to call it.
Free University?? Dont think I can get behind that one. Maybe join the service and give them 6 years or something perhaps we can talk.

Re: 2020 Candidates
Raise taxes if needed across the board on income and sales if needed. Probably a lot of different ways. If explained correctly the modest increase that people might see would be offset by not having to worry about meeting 5,000 dollar deductibles and 700 a month or more premiums. Cut Military spending, stop giving tax cuts to Billionaires and corporations. Its amazing the right doesn't blink an eye for those but gag at the thought that those not in the club shouldn't have to die because they cant afford their fucking insulin shots.
I blame Biker.

Social Security, workmans comp, unemployment insurance, medicare, Medicaid....all progressive ideas fought by conservatives and told they would bankrupt the country but try and take those things away now.

I didn't say Republican or democrats did I? I said progressives. Repubs are no longer in that group.

Re: 2020 Candidates
Does the Average American Have a 401(k)?
The answer might surprise you.

There's a reason 401(k) plans are a popular choice for those looking to set aside money for the future. Not only are contributions traditionally tax-free, but because they're deducted directly from earnings, the process of funding a 401(k) is as seamless as can be. That's why it's surprising to learn that the average American does not, in fact, have a 401(k) -- especially given the number of employees who have the option to participate in one.
How many companies offer 401(k)s?
According to data from the U.S. Census Bureau, only 32% of Americans are saving for retirement in a 401(k).
https://www.fool.com/retirement/2017/06 ... -401k.aspx
Seventy-eight percent of full-time workers said they live paycheck to paycheck, up from 75 percent last year, according to a recent report from CareerBuilder.

Re: 2020 Candidates
When a majority of people believe in Universal Health Care the idea isn't far left its centrist. A billionaire who wants to keep the status quo for the elites, how surprising.

Re: 2020 Candidates
Wasn't amnesia biker in favour of single payer last time this came up?
Since the option is tax or premiums the sensible question is simply how much each is. It's only the voluntarily uninsured, who are a burden on both premium payers and taxpayers, that would be forced to pay something where they weren't already. And choosing your doctor is already a bit of a myth for the majority isn't it? Most need to pick one from the list your insurance company has negotiated a discount with and hope what you need is something your insurance company death panel will agree to.

Because you think it allows you to make money on the stocks though right?

Re: 2020 Candidates
Because you have openly stated you supported single payer as a policy but think the ACA is good because you can make money on the stock market. Maybe you're rethinking your position, maybe you're just lying to suit your amnesia biker act in this thread.

Unless you're saying exploiting the sick and dying and taxpayers for personal gain is your policy? That would be consistent, but not really the meaning of policy in the sense of public policy.
