In very short order Alan Grayson's Medicare Buy-in Plan could be passed under reconciliation because it costs the government nothing and you could even charge 5% extra and save the government BILLIONs while giving the insurance parasites the middle finger they so richly deserve.
Everybody gets coverage that wants to pay for it.
Nobody has to face a mandate to buy junk insurance.
We can look at the same subsidy formula being offered the insurance parasites for the Medicare Buy-In of the poorer elements of our society.
It's time to stop buying into the "this is an 'terrible emergency' with no time to think" push by the folks who want those trillions in government money.
Remember, it only took weeks for the government bailout of the Wall Street Weasels to happen - so congress can ACT FAST if they want to.
But, right now, they think they are pulling the wool over your eyes with this long drawn-out Kooky Kabuki theater.
Remember, "We, The People..." are the boss! Who are they to tell us what we can't have with OUR money?
