re: Study reveals a $600 billion savings in administrative costs with Medicare for ALL

But in the future if you post a dumbass OP, complete with extensive quotes, and you disagree with it, you'd do well to make that clear at the outset.

You'd also do well to avoid respondent pejoratives when you ignore that suggestion.

I don't need to cater to your bad assumptions. You were wrong to assume I supported what was posted. Plenty of news gets posted without commentary.

If someone makes a post about 2 people shot on bourbon street does that mean they endorse the murder? Do they need to explicitly state they dont support murder for you?



I thought the conclusions of the study were ridiculous, which is why I posted it. I have literally no history of supporting Bernie on this board or anything related to communism/socialism.


Information like this is what gets passed along through leftist circles, and serves as a source (among many) for their policy beliefs. As Bernie marches ever closer to being the nominee more articles like this will crop up and require attention. Whether you think its justified or not a large portion of this country believes in what this article writes about and will vote for it come election day.

What is the current spend per person on administrative costs between Medicare and private insurance? I’m skeptical since they didn’t list it in the article

Do we need a number to know that the government is infinitely more bureaucratic than anything else in existence?

And how long will it take until the health insurance wing of the government grows into multiple sections of bureaucratic garbage?

The Democrats have never seen a government program they dont like.

It asinine to believe this would be the extent of it, it's only the beginning. So there's a huge amount of hidden costs that won't even get mentioned until this plan is in place.

Then you know the program is going to go through missteps in implementation like the Obamacare website (think about that, only a website and it was a total mess).

Bernie has never created anything in his life besides the shite in his toilet.

I am OK with that as long as the cost for a visit is the same for EVERYONE . Unlike what Democrats want , their healthcare wants are based on income.

... and I literally have no idea as to your posting history, who you support, what your background is or what your favorite color is. Nor do I know or care what or whom you "endorse".

You uploaded a dumbass OP with no associated commentary.
You now seem butthurt that your post created a point of confusion.

If you recognized how stupid the $600 billion in savings extrapolation was, you certainly did not note it. I'm glad you found the piece untrustworthy and its conclusions ridiculous, though.

No.
I laid out what is in the article.

The folks you're addressing believe what they are told is in the article.
i.e., they are told that, based upon the Canadian System, M4A represents a potential $600B in Administrative savings. In fact, numbers cited in the article make the case for the huge administrative expense M4A would entail.

On my way out of the doctor's office one day when I got ready to pay I asked the nurse if I paid cash would I get a discount. She said no, that it was not permitted by law.

Why the hell not I wonder? That eliminates a level of bureaucracy right there.

Lolololol

No I did not.

There are no competing subscription plans. There is Medicare Advantage and that is it. There is no incentive to really shop.

Give folks vouchers worth $X and let the various healthcare providers compete with different subscription plans.

So half a trillion out of 30+ trillion(by conservative estimates). That's not a fart in the wind.

Where does the money even come from. That's 6 years of federal budgets.

Free shite isn't free.
