Neon Nettle:
A top Biden advisor didn’t take too well to tough questions from MSNBC regarding the healthcare provision in the stimulus bill passed by Democrats.
MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan challenged him on “inefficient, overpriced” healthcare provision.
Hasan pressed Cedric Richmond on why they provided $35 billion to support COBRA health care benefits for 2 million unemployed people, rather than paying for a universal healthcare system.
“How is that a good use of that money?” asked Hasan.
“$35 billion subsidizing insurance companies for six months, wouldn’t that money be better invested towards building universal healthcare in this country?” MORE
The real story here is “tough questions from MSNBC”.
That “tough question” was, in essence, “Why are you letting this crisis go to waste instead of pushing farther left and firing up a socialized medicine bureaucracy? We could be on our way to ‘universal healthcare’ and/or ‘Medicare for all’.”
“…they need a bridge so that they stay with insurance…”
Democrats love selling us bridges, don’t they? Or is it the Insurance companies. So sick of buying bridges. Maybe John Roberts can tell us it’s a tunnel, not a bridge.
If illegal aliens like Ol’ Joe, why can’t the MSM?
They are probably afraid that the American people will see how poorly the government will run healthcare.
It’s always about the money isn’t it?
“You’re giving away tax dollars to insurance companies instead of giving it away to insurance companies!”
