Pelosi: 'Medicare for All' Would Be Worse Than the Current System

When they say Medicare for All, people have to understand this: Medicare for All is not as good a benefit as the Affordable Care Act. It doesn’t have catastrophic [coverage] — you have to go buy it. It doesn’t have dental. It’s not as good as the plans that you can buy under the Affordable Care Act. So I say to them, come in with your ideas, but understand that we’re either gonna have to improve Medicare — for all, including seniors — or else people are not gonna get what they think they’re gonna get. And by the way, how’s it gonna be paid for? Now, single-payer is a different thing. People use the terms interchangeably. Sometimes it could be the same thing, but it’s not always. Single-payer is just about who pays. It’s not about what the benefits are. That is, administratively, the simplest thing to do, but to convert to it? Thirty trillion dollars. Now, how do you pay for that? So I said, “Look, just put them all on the table, and let’s have the discussion, and let people see what it is. But know what it is that you’re talking about.” All I want is the goal of every American having access to health care. You don’t get there by dismantling the Affordable Care Act.
Not going to give rollngstone extra clicks but here is her statement

Imagine someone telling you in 2009 that Pelosi would be one of the more reasonable dems in congress.

I’m actually impressed that she called the socialists out on this one.

Damn Nancy may be MAGA by 2020 as hard as the whacko far left is pushing her

Pelosi is a tax and spend liberal, a dying breed in the Democrat party.
Liberals understand economics far better than progressives.

First ‘no impeachment’. Now ‘no Medicare for all’
Does Nancy want a coat?

One can only hope.

She is going to war with the extreme socialist left within her party. This is all by design and calculated. The first step was taking impeachment off the table. Now this.
She's not stupid, and we should take this seriously. She and the old line Democrats in DC know that they are on a path to defeat in 2020.
The more focus on AOC and others, the better. Just read Rohm Emanuel's op-ed. He is part of this as well. This is a well orchestrated take-back. Look for Obama to join soon as well.

Whoa-whoa-whooooooaaaaah! Easy on pulling that trigger there, Tex.
Nancy was one of the driving forces behind the ACA. She's only making that statement about "Medicare for All" pushing it would be to diminish her own accomplishment. There's no economic reasoning behind her words, only an attempt to save what she sees as the signature legislation of her tenure in Congress.

It fits into her ideology
The liberal approach is to subsidize. The progressive approach Is for the gubment to take over HC.

This is a fight over ACA vs Universal Healthcare
Choose your poison. In the meantime the GOP is nowhere on the healthcare debate.

I think the “old line Democrats”will prevail, eventually. I suggested as much in another thread,, and I caught a lot of crap.
ETA: we’d be better off if we went back to the days when the grownups in both parties were in charge.

It's ACA vs single payer. . In theory, the ACA is universal.
