    Unfortunately there are wayyyy too many people trained in this country to lose their minds over it - they don’t want “socialized medicine” or “Communism” or “government death panels” and so on.

      It’s crazy. I know people that railed against Medicare their entire adult life, needed major surgery as soon as they were on it and thought “wow that was largely painless and I didn’t go bankrupt” then CONTUNUE TO THINK MEDICARE FOR ALL IS BAD

      it’s insanely infuriating.

        They PAID THEIR DUE in taxes and now they reap the benefit. Now that robots do all the hard jobs, people are just squeaking in and taking that Medicare money. Don’t even get me started on immigrants, they spent the first 40 years of their lives drinking some foreign cocktail called pina colada while they spent an hour a day pulling in nets full of crab and lobster. Now they want to come here and work for minimum wage so they can take my Medicare money. All I can say to that is if the government starts to administer my Medicare, there will be hell to pay!
