Thomas Sowell makes a clear point about Medicare-for-All

How was the left able to take heat away from their Medicare-for-All proposal, and more specifically the estimated $32 trillion price tag over a decade? They tripled down with the Green New Deal, which some estimate would cost upwards near $100 trillion.
So, the price tag of the Democrats’ desired replacement for utterly failing Obamacare is to take current government control over healthcare and put it on a regiment of steroids and methamphetamine. When you’re going through Hell, keep going, I suppose.
But all of this could be alleviated if voters and politicians took a moment to think about the prospects of Medicare-for-All logically. Let’s erase, for a moment, the Utopian notion that taxing rich people extreme amounts will give us enough money to make healthcare free for everyone while also improving the quality. That’s the goal, right? Cheaper, better healthcare is what most people want. Conservatives believe it’s best to pull government administration out of the equation and put it all on a competitive capitalist model that has worked for nearly every other industry for over a century. Hyper-leftists want to add more government control.
Conservative commentator Thomas Sowell has some thoughts on the matter. One in particular can be wrapped up into an eloquent quote that should be ideological checkmate allowing us to win the healthcare debate.

“It is amazing that people who think we cannot afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, and medication somehow think that we can afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, medication and a government bureaucracy to administer it.”

Of course, our version of checkmate requires common sense, logic, and basic math skills. These attributes aren’t as readily present on the left, therefore they might hear this logic and still think single-payer makes sense.

    I’m not stereotypical of any leaning except for as much choice as is possible as our Creators have provided – free will to become as rotten as we choose or as good as we choose.
    This is a great common sense quote from Thomas Sowell. The one big way I differ from the commentary on that statement is saying that capitalism has worked until now so why change it. It used to work for much of the middle class and it’s always worked for the upper class and for the lower class to some degree it has worked by providing non-capitalistic programs, like social security and Medicare/Medicaid and affirmative action (to help everyone be equal as laid out in the constitution) and with public housing and food stamps and other nutrition programs and with public (social) education where every property owner pays into it and in some cases Pell grants for higher education, etc. If those programs were strictly capitalistic and privatized they would be like the many corporations where their stock holders were more important than helping people have that equality they were supposed to have as Americans, even the ones forced to come to the U.S. or to escape persecution by the religious and/or secular and/or corporate institutions and oppressive of choice governments. Some say private enterprise would come to the aid of the poor but if that was the case where do we have major examples of that. The Christian behemoths, so called non-profit organizations would much rather send their constituents money to anyplace but the U.S. Look at the privatized prisons and how they have no accountability and the privatized parts of the military, an example of which was Halliburton that received millions more than it documented in it’s role of supplying the military in Iraq, that came from the US taxpayers and according to many military personal didn’t take care of their needs very well. Then there are the private security firms. One was named Blackwater for a while. The contractors by the thousands were paid far better than the American service members.

    That’s it? a one-sentence quotation devoid of facts is supposed to be the definitive statement? How about this counterpoint “It is amazing that some economists believe that we cannot afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, and medication with a government bureaucracy to administer it, but do believe that we can do a better job with less money by having dozens of private insurance bureaucracies administer the plans and extract executive salaries, bonuses and profits.” Of course, we could actually look at the percent of GDP each nation spends on health care … but that would should that the current U.S. system is the least efficient.
