SF would be Venezuela if not for our tax dollars.

Seems pretty clear to me that she just plans to make the money printer go brrrr, have government pay the healthcare providers and have the taxpayers pay for it all through the subsequent exacerbation of already astronomical inflation.

Nothing could possibly go wrong there.

Kamala evidently wants to create more inflation and debt.

How is bribing people to vote for you legal? She has been literally promising to give people government money to vote for her.

There will be a shortage of hospitals and doctors as they go broke.

Super easy. It would create no incentive to lower medical costs - just put the consumer into debt and the gov will step in and pay it off.


You just hit the nail on the head on every democrat/liberal solution. Their solutions solve 0 underlying problems but only slap a band aid on the hemmirahing problem. Student debt relief is the most glaring example. Forgiving the debt is contrabeneficial to the actual cost of the "education".

I will say this - no medical debt should ever touch credit reports.

Most of it should just be ignored anyway - they just bill you made-up numbers.

Why doesn't she scrap the national debt while she's at it?

Trump should roll with that, and then say hey if Kamala can buy your vote with lies why can't I do the same? He should also say he is going to give everyone ocean front property in Arizona, Nevada, and New Mexico....Just make a complete joke of the whole thing so people understand how dumb it is to believe all the crap she is saying she is going to do.

I at least understand the motivation behind "canceling" college loan debt since that is not dischargeable in bankruptcy, but this makes no sense. Medical debt can be discharged in bankruptcy. No one in this country is forced to be shackled to medical debt.

They have no intention of actually trying to do the bullshite they’re spouting. When it can’t be done they’ll proclaim it’s the Republicans fault and the media will shout that lie from the rooftops.

They might get one or two through, if the republicans were smart they’d just abstain from every vote, save 1 or 2 drawn at random to be able to pass it.

Course then the media will complain they should have stopped it. To which I’d simply reply, you thought it was a great idea, you stop them.

Uhh, wasn't Obamacare supposed to make medical care affordable. Why would we need to forgive medical debt if Obamacare is working?

Someone should create a tracker showing how much free cash the democrats plan to give away to earn a vote versus how much free cash the republicans plan to give away to earn a vote. It’s a race to Socialism, but honestly I can’t keep up with who in the lead.
