People would be forced to give up their old insurance because there would be no logic behind paying for both.
I think most likely you'd see higher fees and copays in a public system, so you'd see people stick with their old insurance or buy supplemental insurance.

costs are going to go up because if people aren't going to have to pay for it they will go to the doctor every time someone gets a common cold.
It seems like countries that have public healthcare combat this with long waiting periods and/or outright refusals of service. Which I find abhorrent.

Give me the freedom to choose and I'll take care of myself. If I don't, it's on me and I'm ok with that.

I'm with you, give me the choice. And I'm one of those people who pays a lot of money for health insurance but even I don't want another government program shoved down my throat.

I watched around 20 minutes of tonights Dem debates and this is pretty much my assessment

What's crazy is the very Democrats that are spewing this nonsense are rich as shit. The hypocrisy knows no end.

Yeah, it's funny how they're trying to pander to working class people when they're clearly the party of the elites now.

The only reason Bernie even has a chance, and the rest have followed his socialist lead, is the indoctrination of our young people in our pathetic schools.

They pander to working class people while simultaneously looking down on them. It's amazing.

Except Pete, I don't think he has much money at all. But he has never gotten to suck at the golden teet of Congress.

Trump is going to be brutal to who ever gets the nod.
Because he doesn't give one little shit about a future in politics so he doesn't have to play their little games.

Flipping around after the golf and came across Bernie on 60 Minutes. I hate that show, but it only took about 90 seconds to see that Cooper is basically calling him out for his plans being completely untenable. Funny how you can immediately tell when an interviewer has an agenda. It's not just when it's Trump.

I know Pubs like to bash the Dems for denying Bernie, but they don't want him for good reasons. He's batshit and his ideas would never, ever work. Kids are too naive to realize it, but the adults do.

R's are drawing attention to how the DNC screws over Bernie constantly to antagonize the Bernie bros to not vote if he doesn't get the nomination and helping Trump win. However with the weak field they have put up I'm not sure they can stop him
