Bottom line is, massive tax cut for the 1% paid for by a repeal of the Medicaid expansion! What's not to love?

    This is a terrible idea. We are still reeling from Reagan's cuts 36 years ago. The debt generated by giving the wealthy a multi-generational tax holiday is going to destroy the country. And these morons want another round of that economic cyanide?

    It's really too bad I'm not a Marxist -- I'd be balls deep for this thinking it would provoke The Revolution. But that's not how it's going to go down. The corporate-owned media will just keep the entertainment sedation flowing and the new Lords and Ladies will build their castles and rape the countryside.

                      doesn't matter if French politics lurch right. They have socialized medicine. The GOP would rather kids die in the street than implement something like that (even though it would save money considering we have the most costly healthcare system in the world).

                        But if people are giving their consent, don't they deserve to take it in the shorts? GOP has gotten off too easily over the years because Dem voters are giving cover for morons who want to keep voting in these conservative idiots while expecting Dems to block the effects of their Ayn Randian desires. Well no more. Let the people voting for the Republicans lose their healthcare in order to give billionaires a tax cut. I have no desire to save people from themselves.

                          The French don't think it's socialized. Read the article. Sure the government is involved by setting insurance rates and paying for med school, but it's not the UK system which IS socialized.

                          What we have is not working. We need more doctors and better management of treatment. Is the French system perfect for us? Probably not, but I've never been adverse to stealing somebody else's idea and making it work for my organization.

                            I think most democrats would be very happy with a model similar to the french. The GOP would never go for that.

                              The government isn't just setting rates and paying for med school. They reimburse most of the costs. 100% for a person with a long term chronic condition or in need of a costly treatment. ~70% for others. Paid for by a social security tax. The rest is picked up by supplemental insurance, usually from a non-profit. The government even runs over half of the hospitals.
