You might not agree with his ideas, or think he isn't qualified to be the POTUS, but he's a pretty smart guy.

You're talking about a guy who thinks he's somebody's wife.

He says nothing of substance, just picks apart people's policies, because that's what he was hired to do by his billionaire backers. He has no plans, no policies, and he argues about nothing. The guy is an idiot.

So he is the only candidate picking apart people's policies that is an idiot? No plans?

I really don't understand why people are so tied to their insurance companies.

I think it's just fear of change.

When you change jobs, you usually change insurance companies.

You don't know the value of your insurance until something happens and then you learn learn what is really covered what is not.

You learn about out of pocket limits outside of your deductible.

A healthy person thinks their insurance is great. Or maybe people that had a bad experience with a new insurance company thinks that's what Medicare will be like.

Medical billing is a nightmare.

I am curious about what the insurance lobby is doing in the background with Warren becoming the co-leader.

Will they funnel money to the Republican candidate if Warren becomes the Dem nominee?

It's a big industry and won't go down easy (unlike Rigged's mom).

He's a foolish, ignorant, stupid person.

Dunnes, the poster who replied to you took you serious. He/she didn't know that you were just reflecting your hate for gays.

Actually, Buttigieg was the sharpest one out there.

You are responding to Dunnes trolling. He hates gays and he steals other's handles. He is unemployed and poor so he thinks Bernie will save him.

LOL

So you think having government run health insurance is just like having private insurance?? OMG, talk to ANYONE on medicaid and see how they like it.

Yes, you have coverage so I'll give you that's it's better than nothing, but you do not have the same level of coverage, you do not have the same choices in providers, and you do not have the same choices in pharmaceutical benefits.

The only way your comparison works is that if you change jobs and the medical plan and the new job completely sucks donkey b@lls.

Okay everyone, this guy is pretending to be me again, and pretending that I'm a bigot that hates someone named Dunnis, whoever that is.

He's trying to act like all gay people are bigots!

Okay well I used to be a bigot and liked that gay guy Booty-Butt up but then I found out he's a sell out to the billionaires and now I don't like him anymore. Just because I used to be a gay bigot like Booty Butt up doesn't mean I can't think for myself.

And would you please stop imitating my nickname!

What I find disappointing is that the Dem party seems to be completely in the clutches of the most "woke" and Leftist wing of the party.

I think DT is an idiot, an embarrassment, and a complete buffoon BUT instead of appealing to those of us in the middle the Dems just seem to have out right disdain for us and leap to the far Left.

I could vote for Mayor Pete, I could easily vote for Tulsi, and I would gladly vote for Bloomberg (should he enter the race.) There is no way I would ever vote for Warren, Bernie, etc. I'm not 100% sure Biden even makes it through the primaries, he just looks and sounds REALLY old. I don't see him as an inspiring choice, but he would be better than DT, should he actually make it to the general election.

Well, medicaid is for people without jobs , so they don't have the choice of private insurance.

Exactly, I said that, it's for the poor they don't have a choice, we do and nobody here would swap their private plan for medicare or medicaid.

Well medicare is different from medicaid and medicare is being floated as the option or the end result.

Medicaid varies state by state where medicare is federal.

People on medicaid are often people with disabilities, so they are going to run into a lot more issues than the average person.

Make medicare an option to purchase for all and see how it competes over time.

Here's the rub:

If you campaign on a public option, it won't pass.

If you campaign on medicare for all, that also won't pass, but they could then settle for a public option.

+1

as much of a democrat as i am on social issues i.e i don't care who you sleep with or what women do with their bodies, i kind of lean fiscally toward the conservative side and i don't think i'm the only one out there. Yes, everyone should have healthcare but there should be options and some responsibility of survival in the world has to be placed on the individual.

I have a hard time with biden and bernie simply because of their age. The intensity of being POTUS is going to be too hard for either of these guys.

sadly, it's like having to choose from the lesser of 12 evils.

Trump doesn't try to appeal to the middle.

So, the middle may have to make a choice or let the party bases decide.

The bigger base wins.

And I don't see where Trump has been growing his base.

Whoever the Dem candidate will have 100% support for those who disapprove of Trump and his disapproval rate is over 50%.

Of course, he may not be on the ballot next November.
