Great article. I’m at present struggling with a few of these issues also.
The main point of contention is that the Democrats are going to take 500 miillon from the Medicare budget and transfer it elsewhere. This means healthcare will be denied the elderly, disabled, and sick. With the Democrat plan, the government will have access to your savings, retirement funds, stocks and any monies or wealth you have and they will be able to take it at will. The Democrats plan to mandate coverage and treatments to insurance companies to run them out of business. They won’t allow them to raise rates but will make it legal for you to buy health insurance when you have some disease or need healthcare. Won’t be long before the only thing left is government care. Also, if you are young and healthy thinking this doesn’t apply to you ..think again. If you are in a car accident, the government may decide you are too expensive to fix and pull the plug on you.
