unveil themselves as plainly attacking the private sector and free market economy.
ObamaCare).īy portraying health insurance companies as evil for competing and earning profits within the traditional boundaries of capitalism, Sanders, Warren, Harris et al. This is exactly what happened with the Affordable Care Act (a.k.a. It will also insert delays at various points in the implementation plan which invariably starts a chain reaction of other unanticipated delays and additional costs. The government will then have to respond to all of this, which will be costly. As such, they will use litigation, legal loopholes, re-location, and tax shelters to protect their assets and income. From their point of view, their assets were hard earned. Healthcare providers, drug manufacturers, high income earners, and insurance corporations will not simply stand still while all this happens. The consequences of these three factors completely nullify any of the hoped-for economic benefit. He also assumes that the new government healthcare administration would be competent and efficient in operating the country’s vast healthcare machine – something it has thus far not demonstrated in the relative microcosms of Medicare, ObamaCare, and the Veterans Administration.Rather than spread the cost of his proposal across the entire population via something akin to a higher Medicare payroll tax, Sanders wants only high-income earners and corporations to foot this massive bill. In Sanders’ plan the government pays those bills instead.
Care providers and drug companies are currently paid by insurance companies or directly by patients.He also wants to reduce the rates paid to healthcare providers and drug companies.However, all else is not equal in Sanders’ plan:
There is an undeniable efficiency achieved in the transaction of a healthcare service without having the insurance “middleman” in the picture. All else being equal, Sanders is correct. The government would pay providers directly for all healthcare services, much like Medicare does today for those 65 and older. This is because his plan doesn’t need to include the operating costs and profits of the insurance industry. Sanders believes this cost is actually much less than the overall amount of money being spent on health care today. His plan is usually criticized because of its extreme cost. Let’s take the Medicare-for-All plan articulated best by Bernie Sanders. This is where any theoretical “savings” or advantage of efficiency melts away. They are all insistent on including aggressive wealth re-distribution measures at the same time. The problem is that none of these candidates are advocating a “purist” approach. In the purest technical sense, this is correct. The theory is that government would be devoid of greed since it operates as a non-profit entity and could deliver these services at a lesser overall cost and to a much wider segment of the population. Their simplistic remedy for this is to have government either regulate or completely take over these critical services. This is most evident when they speak of the health insurance and energy industries, as well as any other corporate entity resistant to investing in climate change mitigation. Most of the candidates expressed a baseline belief that the private sector is filled with greed and ill-intent driven by a desire for profit. From most, this came across as being just plain hateful – the very characteristic they want to attach to the president. Each candidate displayed a visceral dislike of the President that goes far beyond just policy disagreement or distaste for a personality type. The second theme was not directly articulated by anyone but was clearly evident whenever any of the candidates spoke about President Trump. This is an anti-private sector strategy.” If you watched the debate you might not have heard this line because the CNN moderators were talking over Delany at the end of his statement. Former Congressman John Delany of Maryland summed up one of these themes perfectly during the July 30 th debate in his response to Bernie Sanders on the Medicare-for-All plan: “ I’m starting to think this is not about healthcare. As we watched the two sets of recent Democrat debates, there were two unmistakable themes embraced by a majority of the candidates.
