That KKK comment wasn't me.

The Republicans treat Socialism as a swear word. Social Security, and Medicare are two socialist programs. I don't hear many people complaining about them here.

Single payer, Medicare for all, is the way to go. Cost of health care has gone through the roof. There was a number in the 90's that it cost the federal government 4 cents to process a claim, and 24 cents for an insurance company. I am sure that that gap is a lot closer now. You can open up state borders for health insurance companies that is not going to reduce premiums. They know what each other are going to charge. They prices will be so close you won't be able to tell the difference. Fixing prices is a strange way for Capitalism to work.

If the government can't process claims in an efficient manner, let the insurance companies process the claims, but will have accept the amount the federal government determines to be fair to process a claim. Who cares! Single payer will never happen. Insurance companies throw to much money at our elected officials. They are bought and paid for.

Is anyone out there going to try and sell that we are working on an equal playing field? Citizens United has guaranteed that the rich will never be the victim of the Democrats. Treating them as victims of anything is beyond the pale. It is not how much you make. It is how much you keep. Making the tax laws a lot fairer isn't an assault on the rich. It is common sense.
