Why Are Democratic Consultants Fighting Universal Healthcare?

[GoLeft TV]

[Jackie Wilson Said]

1. Because both parties are bought off and corrupt. The difference is one party will

send your sister into a back alley to die, the other wont.

2. They aren't.

They aren't jumping on Bernie's bandwagon. They live in the real world. Changes to the ACA will take time and a favorable Senate and close to that of the House. Bernie's supporters conveniently forget (or likely too young to remember) that HRC was given the task of universal healthcare over 20 years ago. In fact, she wasn't just given that task, she asked for it, knowing the beating she would take.

10. You still aren't answering why Democrats are fighting against it

Just reiterating why we can't do things. I've heard no from others before...hmmm...what group might have said that?

20. Look at this one............

21. Hillary: I want to get to universal healthcare for every American!

The catch-- what does she mean by "get to"? What time-frame does she have in mind?

[Enthusiast]

22. I know, right.

4. Because nobody makes money in a universal, single-payer HC system.

The only people who pay lobbyists to lobby for them are people who think they can make money by getting government to do, or NOT do something.

A single-payer national healthcare system would not make money for anybody, except ordinary citizens who would gain by betting better healthcare at a lower cost. But, under that system, there is no middle man to make money.

(But I suspect that wasn't the answer to your question. You're wanting to know why the Democratic Party, who CLAIM to want to improve things for ordinary citizens, are hiring consultants who lobby for groups that are working AGAINST ordinary citizens. That's a good question, and the answer is that a lot of Democratic Party insiders are LYING when they say they want to make things better for ordinary citizens.)

11. Sort of.Today, only a few do. In a USPHC system, everyone would profit because those ill-gotten

gains and paybacks would instead be used for health care as they were intended.

[MisterP]

5. because we'll vote for them anyway

[Maedhros]

6. Because they spell Democrat as R-E-P-U-B-L-I-C-A-N. [N/T]

[whereisjustice]

7. Because scum sucking 3rd way privatization freaks want to take everything

you have and will ever have so that you you can live a little longer in a hostile world run by shitty 3rd way democrats trying to take everything you earn.

Health care, education, housing...

They are ALL competing for every last dime you have.

[ReRe]

9. Sadly...

... Bingo. All of 'em. They see that money in the commons and by hook or by crook, they want to get their hands on it. That's cut-throat, cannibalistic capitalism in a nut-shell for you. The frenzy is now at fever-pitch level. Cut throat. It has killed the Republican Party and now it's got it's talons sunk in half of the Democratic Party.

[Enthusiast]

18. Third Way = Third World

[AllyCat]

8. Because they are Third Way that took the name Democrat

To fool is all into thinking they are helping us.

[Enthusiast]

19. It's a big masquerade.

[Lobo-Nose]

12. DNC Dems

Simple, because DNC Dems are closet republicans! Watch

[dlwickham]

13. maybe it's because the ballot measure will double the Colorado state budget?

maybe it's just a bad measure and deserves to be defeated?

[eridani]

14. That is a problem because why?

Anyone who prefers a $900/month "premium" to a $300/month "tax" is just too fucking stupid to be running around outside without adult supervision.

16. Massive plus one!

15. Kicked and recommended to the Max!

It's the truth. I recognize it for the truth. The party has left me. I will not belong to a party that places the interests of the corporation above the general welfare of the people.

There is no reasonable defense of this.
