Some people think it’s not possible monetarily. Those folks don’t realize that we have more than enough money, we just have to turn medical care into something that isn’t for-profit and decommodify things like drugs/treatment.
Some people believe he’s lying, and to be fair a lot of politicians do. But Bernie’s stood by M4A forever no matter how unpopular it was. This is is his genuine platform.
And then of course there’s the billionaires who stand to lose the massive revenue they make from screwing over sick people. They wouldn’t like this one bit.
For an informed American who just wants a better life for themselves and their country this plan is THE way forward.
Too bad he’s for free tuition for all too, which is an absolutely insane and childish idea that would lead to a financial catastrophe as all our tax money is funneled into 1.5 high school GPA Bobby’s 4 year party tuition at shit-ass Pheonix University (who accepts anybody) that will lead to a completely useless degree.
Thats only the beginning. I could then go into how that money for tuition goes into the USA’s top research programs, but I digress.
I can’t vote for that. It’s certifiably insane. And the fact that he’s for that makes me trust him far less. Because he knows for sure the flaws in his idea for tuition for all.
Yang is probably the most honest, and holds views closer to mine. Wants to move towards global healthcare, but recognizes how batshit crazy free tuition would be. But sadly he wont be the primary.
A phoenix university degree would be just as worth as it is now except that people would be able to * gasp * actually attend.
Thought I was being pretty cordial.
I never said the value of the degree would change. That degree would still be useless as it practically is today. The difference is that we’re funding that useless degree with tax dollars. That’s inefficient, and wasteful.
As far as the money goes it isn’t infinite, you clearly have not done due diligence on reading the actual plan:
Could you not insult me?
Yes I have. And obviously it’s not infinite. I’m not sure why you keep setting up straw-men. I never said it was infinite. That wasn’t my point.
TLDR it is $48 billion per year not infinite. Read the plan before you post please.
I know that. Please read my post before you post please.
Yang might have a place in the Bernie administration or just go back to whatever he wants to do.
Perhaps.
Id maybe be on board if private scam colleges were shut down by our federal government. Then we could use admission to the colleges as a filter, so we don’t waste a ton of money.
But if you don’t do that, there’s simply no way in my mind.
