Medicare Backlash

I see Bernie is squawking about “Medicare for All” again. And by all, let’s be clear: all means everyone but Congress, of course, will retain whatever their very special version of Medicare. Meanwhile, DOGE has uncovered fraud and abuse in virtually every government agency, and yet Bernie wants to provide government-run healthcare to 350 million people.  Where in the world has universal healthcare provided adequate care to a population that large? Canada’s system has cracked, with a population of just 47 million, and the UK’s National Health Service is infamous for its inability to provide quality care for its 69 million inhabitants.  Imagine the scale of fraud and abuse we can expect so that we can receive a similar level of substandard care. Obamacare was just the prelude, and Covid accelerated the decline. Socialized medicine is the Marxist utopia of equality where your money is redistributed so everyone gets the same abysmal quality of care regardless of how much you paid in. Telemedicine anyone? In the end, you get what you pay for except for Bernie and the elitists.
