Schumer Plans To Announce The Democratic Agenda Tomorrow

Frankly I think it is a mistake to interrupt the republicunts when they are fucking themselves up but they aren't going to listen to me.

Anyway, it seems as if this will be a piece of the puzzle.

Universal health care would save $17 trillion

The article makes the point that the money-grubbing fucks will screech about how much it will cost.  They never talk about how much it is costing us NOW.

Compared to what we’re currently spending, universal health care or single-payer health care would save us $17 trillion over 10 years.

As you can see, the amount of spending per year doesn’t stay the same. It grows on a yearly basis. So the second number we need is the growth rate. 
According to the study titled “National Healthcare Expenditures, 2016-2025: Price Increases, Aging Push Sector to 20 Percent of Economy,” health care costs in the United States are estimated to grow at an average annual rate of 5.6 percent from 2016 to 2025. 
If we apply this growth rate over 10 years, and add up the costs, our current healthcare system will cost $49 trillion. 
Savings
$49 trillion (current system) — $32 trillion (single payer) = $17 trillion in savings.

I think these people that wonder how we're going to afford single payer assume we're still going to have price gouging insurance companies when they do this. The for-profit middlemen will be gone, therefore we save money.

About damn time we saw a plan from the Democrats.

Sheesh, how bad could Schumer fuck this up ??

Enough to lose 10 seats in the senate and 75 in the house in 2018 ??


Yeah, that sounds about right, maybe nuke some gubernatorial races and some state legislatures too, if there are any left . . . .


Now, could the 'pubs fuck up any gift Schumer might be lobbing their way, I 'spose . . . but a helluva thing to be counting on.

V, you can't complain that they don't have a plan and then bitch when they come out with one.  Make up your mind, man.

It's the one they've chosen to lurch upwards out of the swamp.

Jesus, couldn't they drag out someone who looks a little less like a dishonest funeral director ??
