Washington, D.C. – Democrats are fighting amongst themselves about how to pay for a massive new expansion of Medicare. Leading the charge is Socialist Bernie Sanders who has been clear about his goal: Medicare-for-All, or more aptly termed, Medicare-for-None. Senate Democrats’ plan is just the first step in their radical, government-run health care agenda, which would cost taxpayers as much as $32 trillion!
This radical shift in policy would put the government in charge of all health care decisions for Americans, costing the people untold amounts of money and resulting in worse care for patients.
The change is one of many included in the Democrats’ $3.5 trillion (actually $5 trillion) tax and spending spree authored by socialist Bernie Sanders. Thus far, vulnerable Democrat Senators like Maggie Hassan, Mark Kelly, and Catherine Cortez Masto have been silent about where they stand on this bill that will radically transform our government into a “cradle to the grave” overseer of its citizens.
Statement from NRSC Spokesman T.W. Arrighi: “Our health care system is broken, but the Democrats’ only solution is to put the federal government in full control. Bernie Sanders and his radical liberal allies are determined to march America toward socialism come hell or high water. By laying the foundation for Medicare-for-All, they hope to put the federal government between doctors and their patients, at a cost of tens of TRILLIONS of dollars to American taxpayers. While this is causing a major rift among Democrats in the House, vulnerable Senate Democrats have been silent, hoping Senators Manchin and Sinema can somehow save them for offering an unpopular opinion.”
