Just like you were "selfish" for not buying Obamacare - and paying the penalty instead.

Far-left Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D.-Washington) proposed something even more extreme. The "Medicare for All Act of 2019 is so left-wing it makes Bernie Sanders look like a piker.

This would eliminate private insurance and most existing federal health programs, moving everyone in the country into a new single-payer system. Neither would allow co-pays or deductibles.

It would cover long-term care like nursing homes. It also calls for a 2-year phase-in period, compared to Sanders' 4 years. it also would cap how much money hospitals and nursing care facilities can get, which is a fancy way of saying rationing. It would also determine how much health providers make.

Look at what happened to the student loan program when the gov (Obama) took over total control. Prices skyrocketed and people are in debt with sometimes meaningless degrees. When banks did the loans, you couldn't borrow endlessly.

Nothing smacks more of being anti-American than government control.
