The problem with health care is we have to pay for all the illegals, lazy and uninsured over and over again. The hospital jacks up the price ten time the rate. The government and insurance companies actually pay about ten percent of what the service is worth while pocketing the profits and slush funding the taxes.
Because we paid for it! I have paid tens of thousands into it for decades, and now retired, I am still paying over $200 a month for it. It is highly unlikely I will ever use the services I have paid for before I die.
You have it deducted from your paycheck through your career dumbass. Something you wouldn't know about. Now yell upstairs and tell mommy that you're hungry and want your sandwich. Get a freaking job!
The amount you paid in is less than the amount that is being paid out, because medical care is now more expensive, so you are getting free gibs on top of what you have been paying in
When you invest money, you always get back more than you put into the investment. That's the way money works. If the government wasn't taking the money from our paychecks we would have been investing it elsewhere.
If you pay into a system you should be able to apply for it.(instead of being forced) Medicare was originally set up for older people. Now it has become a joke giving it to people with muh anxiety, muh fatass can't walk bullshit. So medicare is a system for old folks and people with all manner of problems. When I turn 65 I can apply for it and it will still cost me about 200 bucks a month even though I have been paying into it for years. I don't understand how you have come up with older people not wanting other people to have it. Socialism encompasses so much more than just a health system.
For the same reason others don't want the bank stealing all the money they have worked for and deposited. We paid for it, we are owed it. If they had not taken out SS and Medicare all the years I paid into it, and I had invested it exactly the same way I did my IRA, I would be a multimillionaire now, and wouldn't need nor want it.
Boomers? That term, my dear misguided excrement of human trash, is reserved for people older than me. It is not a term to be 'liberally' recycled to point out, or refer to, an individual who just is blessed with having a common sense thought pattern and plain, decent values at heart. Conservatism wins.
So you can stop reusing 'past popular terms' and make up some new ones.We invented that shit. OK, Boomer?
They need to point the finger at some one... And God knows they haven't even reached puberty yet, so Zero chance in Hell they've actually contributed in any way shape or form of anything worthwhile to Society....
Because we by God paid for it all our working lives, that's why. We weren't allowing to opt out, it was the law, and it was taken from us. What is your claim, that you were born and have a pulse and are therefore entitled to it?

No you're right, if I paid for it, then it's a transaction like any other in a capitalist system. I pay money and get something back. It doesn't matter that the money was expropriated from my pay against my will, but I paid for it so yeah,
That depends. We've paid in for @30 years, two people, working at Construction and such jobs, mostly union wages. IF we live long enough to ever even use it, it won't be even close to what we have paid in. The retirement age keeps going up, people with privilege are living longer but not those who work in the trades.
We're ok with that, it's a lottery but if someone else who does live long enough to use it, good for them, haha. If they hadn't mismanaged and squandered the $ that should be there then it would have been fine.
HOWEVER... We went to work with blistered hands, while being treated for cancer and even while dealing with a slipped vertebrae. Medicare for all is not ok! It was supposed to be an insurance program, not welfare
When you invest money, you always get back more than you put into the investment. That's the way money works. If the government wasn't taking the money from our paychecks we would have been investing it elsewhere. Either way, it's our money.
And QE is the fed actively inflating the stock market to the benefit of stockholders (boomers) at the cost of debasing the USD and redistributing wealth up. Boomers left their children a kleptocracy.
Dude, Im in my 30's, I live outside, and I survive on about 6k USD a year. None of that income comes from shilling.
The generation born ca. 1945-1960 gamed the US to its breaking point, and we are just barely starting to push the pendulum in the other direction. The outrage is not only real, it is increasing. You dun fucked up, grampa.
How long did I have to wait to see a specialist after a broken back in my Western country with "socialized medicine" ... oh yea, two fucking years. How long did it take for the specialist to look at my x-rays and tell me that there was nothing they could do, because the injury was 2 years ago ... about 35 minutes. One in two people in my country are on a waiting list and the average wait has reached 3 years. People are sleeping on the floors in the hallways because there aren't enough beds. I repeat, this is a first world country with socialized medicine that we have been paying for all our lives. I fucking hate snowflake libtards who are completely ignorant to reality.
There are also way more retirees per worker today than there were when boomers started working so the burden they place on us is much bigger than the burden that was placed on them.

Yep, been paying into medicare since 1972. So pay up Bernie.
21811157? ago
That doesnt change the fact that it is socialized.....thats how socialized medicine works
21811176? ago
Ok, so what is your point?
21811195? ago
Why do you want socialized medicine for yourself only, but if others want socialized medicine, you are so against it?

Total socialism is a nice word for communism.
21811052? ago
Apparently you've never gotten a paycheck to see what taxes are taken out, Fuckstick!

Why didn't boomers vote against medicare then?

For the same reason they collect Social Security, they paid into it their entire lives. Every paycheck has had a medicare tax paid from it.
21811137? ago
But the benefits they receive outstrip what they put into it
21811927? ago

Does the Government pay you Interest on the Social Security it robs out of your paycheck?

They paid for it in advance, and continue to pay premiums and co-pays.
Ain’t free.

Socialized medicine is also paid in advance with taxes, like in Canada

The cost of medical care in the US is inflated by Medicare, making the cost of such care life-shatteringly expensive for the uninsured.
