Who is John Oliver? To tell you the truth before this hour I did not really know – so I googled it. I another article I read in a Daily KOS, a left leaning news organization, presented M4A statements attributed to John Oliver. I’ll present these paraphrased to clean them up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Nobody knows what M4A will actually cost.\u00a0 Anyone saying otherwise is full of malarky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Most cost estimates come in at or below our nations current public and private sector combined health care spending, and even if it doesn\u2019t end up that way, it\u2019s worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. The idea of \u201cchoice\u201d is an illusion.\u00a0 Most people have one choice:\u00a0 Whatever their employer offers them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. People often have no choice at all in emergencies but to go out-of-network \u2014 often even when they\u2019ve gone out of their way to try to stay in network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. Under M4A, every provider is in network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
6. The \u201cwait time\u201d argument about other nations with nationalized healthcare that is currently a favorite of those opposed to M4A is basically bogus and based on non-emergency or elective procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
7. People wait ridiculous amounts of time *now* because they simply cannot afford the co-pays and deductibles needed to be met to get said procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
8. A system where people have to choose between one life saving medication or another due to cost is inherently unjust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
9. Yes, people in the health care bureaucracy will need new jobs, but that can be handled and is part of the plans offered by both Sanders and Warren.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
10. The current system is not becoming of a civilized, first world country, while Medicare for all “who want it” is a fall back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
11. If you\u2019re arguing against <\/em>M4A, you\u2019re arguing for all of the flaws and unfairness inherent in our current system and you <\/em>need to own that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Who is John Oliver?
