(24,396 posts)Bloomberg seemed resigned to take the brickbats in the first segments. What could he say? He did well on discussing the closing of coal plants, where he got to tout his philanthropic record.

gulliver
(13,193 posts)People have jobs in fracking and they work in health care, including insurance. What happens to them?
I'm not saying we shouldn't eliminate the use of fossil fuels and have national health insurance. But we need an answer for the people whose jobs would be precipitously lost if we do them without transition time and do them radically and clumsily. Everyone needs to be covered.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
yellowdogintexas
(22,270 posts)There is a lot of automation in the insurance claims world but not everything is manageable by computer. There will be more people covered, therefore more claims to process.
There are a number of ways this could be handled - subcontract the claims shop to the existing workers. Make them bid on the contracts, like in the early days of Medicare.

squirecam
(2,706 posts)But Amy tries to answer with more facts and context, which is hard in 30 second sound bites.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
Sparkly
(24,149 posts)it seems like she gets only a few words in before they start with, "thank you senator" and shutting her up. The others get to go on, even after (as Biden did) saying, "I know I'm going over my time...."
