Reply #142: Healthcare mandates

[MagsDem]

Mandates mean the pool is bigger, which decreases costs. Her plan subsidies people that can't pay. The mandate applies to people that can afford it but don't want it, that will use emergency rooms like they do every day, which raises the cost for everyone. It's akin to opting out of SSI then expecting the equivelent in a welfare check instead. That's not allowed either.

His costs twice as much per family and $102 billion in govt spending. Her's cost half as much per family and $124 billion, and those are non partisan numbers. Except covers everyone. His has mandates for children by the way, so families will have to pay under his plan. Where does the money come from? Rolling back tax cuts for the wealthy, and cutting the shit out of the wars.

A fillbuster proof majority is not needed if we have the presidency. All the leaders in congress have to do is actually make them fillibuster. They will get mighty tired of being on the senate floor 24/7 real quick. We need a steamroller, not a velvet glove.
