For some reason, many Americans don't want people to have health coverage. Hence the MFA opposition. LonePirate Jan 2020 #1

they are afraid it will take something from them i guess questionseverything Jan 2020 #2

On for heavens sake!! No dem... not one wants to see anyone go without health care..NONE!! Thekaspervote Jan 2020 #3

So you are 100% on board with MFA? Good to know. Thanks. LonePirate Jan 2020 #5

No, M4a is DOA. There are lots of ways to achieve affordable coverage for all and allow those Thekaspervote Jan 2020 #7

So you don't support universal coverage for everyone. Interesting reversal. LonePirate Jan 2020 #9

There is no way the ACA can be expanded to cover everyone. Simply impossible. LonePirate Jan 2020 #14

That's not true, but many Americans don't want a system that will cost them a lot more.... George II Jan 2020 #4

What else would you call it when people oppose systems/plans that would cover everyone? LonePirate Jan 2020 #6

Links please to where M4a plans have been released? The m4a law in MA was a dismal failure Thekaspervote Jan 2020 #8

I guess they are OK with other people watching their loved ones die so long as they don't have to experience it themselves.

That want to keep their private health insurance to do so. The ACA is law, and can be expanded upon to include everyone

If you think M4a is doable, then tell us all how it will become law and then how to pay for it...seriously

....than they're paying now OR have their plan taken away from them and replaced by something that hasn't been proven it will work. Many Americans (most maybe?) were happy when the ACA passed and were looking forward to it being expanded.

Perhaps they should educate themselves of the MFA plans that have been released. But I guess it is easier to believe lies and contrarian propaganda.

....that have been floated are lacking details and to many "risky" compared to what's available now.

The "MFA plans" that have been released have lots of holes in them. Even Sanders, when asked a day or two ago how he was going to pay for it, replied "I don't know". That's not a good endorsement of HIS plan.

Put out some details, specify exactly how it's going to be funded, and people will educate themselves. But as they stand today, no one can truly do that.

Democratic Party platform: "Democrats have been fighting to secure universal health care for the American people for generations ... . We are going to fight to make sure every American has access to quality affordable health care. ... Democrats believe that health care is a right, not a privilege, and our health care system always puts people before profits."

He knows this.
