I was at a service center earlier today that had CNN on.

I saw a commercial for this debate.

I thought..... WHY?!?!?!?

What in the hell is the point of this (other than really trying to push politics full fledge into the World Wrestling Federation).

Why in the world would I want to hear two losers talk about anything?

Edit to Add: I apologize OP. I could have simply not clicked into the thread. There was no reason for me to poo-poo it.

Bernie looks younger and thinner now.

Bernie a lot of fire, but not very knowledgeable about how things work.

Bernie just knocked it out of the park on pre-existing conditions if the ACA was repealed, without something to replace it that protects those people.

Cruz then stepped on his own toes in response.

Ok, this debate's about the A.C.A. and whether to repeal or replace

Why? The elections are over. Are they really starting this 3 years early?

Sorry guys. I'm not sure how to upload livestream videos to ATS. You can follow the link, however.

People with serious existing medical conditions can go to Medicare. Problem solved.

Medicare is only for people 65 and over, or other people with certain ailments.

Pre-existing conditions are not necessarily covered by medicare.

Medicare already exists. Lowering the eligibility age to 0 (moment born) is much simpler than setting up individual state high-risk pools.

Existing medical conditions are covered by Medicare from day #1.

Actually Medicaid was the one that it expanded under Obama care.

Bingo, actually ACA is nothing more and nothing less than an expansion of Medicaid at the expenses of tax dollars to made possible for more people to fall under it.

What a joke.

Medicare does not cover everyone with pre-existing conditions. Neither does Medicaid.

Sounds to me that you are in favor of socialized healthcare.

So am I. Universal Healthcare is the answer.

I wouldn't want my DOG to be on Medicaid here in the Chicago area. Only 6 doctors per 100,000 citizens accept it.

Quite an important distinction.

I have personally enrolled many hundreds of people in Medicare. Not a single enrollee has had an existing medical condition listed as in-eligible.

The only complaints are related to the 20% of the bill that Medicare does not pay, and the absence of Prescription, Eyeglasses, and Dental coverage.

Not really
Wouldn't it be better for people to not have to wait for stuff to go from a minor treatment caught early to the point of serious existing medical condition? we are talking a difference in price by the magnitude of hundreds of times...better to get a aspirin off the taxpayer than a heart transplant, no?

For the poor and struggling lower middle class, then taper off. All comes down to need.
