Biden pretends his public option (which was too extreme for Obamacare) won't end private care

"But if they like their employer-based insurance...a lot of people like theirs, they shouldn't have to give it up," Biden says

How'd that work out last time?

cnn.com/2019/07/05/pol…
We're supposed to believe the guys who lied to us 37 times if we liked our plan, we could keep it?

Premiums doubled. Millions lost their care

Now Biden tells us to trust him to run a public option, which would kill off the private market

politifact.com/truth-o-meter/…
The Left is trying to move the goalposts to make the public option seem "moderate"

It's not.

Private insurance, the health care of 217 million Americans, the vast majority of which like their care, would "wither away anyway"

The new Democratic Party:

Taxpayer-funded abortions for illegal aliens

So outside of the mainstream

Democrats now support:

Taxpayer-funded abortions for transgender people

And if you are pro-life and don't want to pay for taxpayer-funded abortions, Democrats say you don't have "a valid argument"

Mueller goes to attorney who advised Bill Clinton to prep for his testimony

Dem lawyer on the pick: “He’s a good insurance policy to make sure the dialogue beforehand is what it should be"

Mueller knows all about "insurance policies," doesn't he

politico.com/story/2019/07/…
Mueller likes to hire attorneys who work for the Clintons
Mueller "doesn’t try to spin, he doesn’t speculate"

Really?

The entire "collusion" hoax was based on speculation & leaked innuendo

The Mueller report uses "appear" or "appears" 67 times

This wasn't dealing in facts, but false appearances

There was never any "there there"

Since the media refuses to provide any context, a thread of statements made by the socialist "squad" in the House:

Ilhan Omar laughing about al Qaeda, wondering why we don't speak of America in the same tones

Omar's anti-Semitic tweets, claiming "evil" Jews have "hypnotized the world" and "it's all about the Benjamins"
Omar again makes anti-Semitic remarks, claiming Jewish lawmakers have "allegiance to a foreign country"

This argument that “unions broke their neck to get” employer-based insurance” is an OLD argument that isn’t relevant today. Here are a sampling of unions who support @SenSanders & my #MedicareForAll bill: @AFTunion, @SEIU, @MachinistsUnion, @UAW, @NationalNurses, @APWUnational..
...United Mineworkers, ILWU & so many more. These unions understand several things: 1) workers are paying more & more for their employer-insurance b/c for-profit insurance companies are raising premiums hugely for employer healthcare as well. Employers push much of that down.
2) More & more services aren’t being covered even WITH employer covered healthcare. More surprise billings, more challenges to claims by these for-profit insurance companies. Employees see that even with covered healthcare, they end up paying enormous out-of-pocket costs.

Bernie Sanders said in debate that people don't like health insurance companies. Correct.

He said on ABC, though, that private insurance itself isn't "particularly popular." The numbers show it's very popular with people who have it. My look at the data:
cnn.com/2019/07/03/pol…
"Particularly popular" is subjective, and there's some data that lends support to Sanders's claim about private insurance, so I'm not saying this is "false." But years of data shows, at least, that there's more to the popularity story than Sanders suggested to Stephanopoulos.
A Sanders aide who insisted on anonymity made a valid point: surveys that ask people about happiness with their own private insurance do not count the opinions on private insurance of people who can't afford private insurance. Anyway, see the numbers for yourself.

People are treating "why is the economy not lifting Trump's numbers?" like some great mystery, but I think the plain truth is most people remember the economy *was also good under Obama* People aren't canaries. theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
Like, we were ALIVE and CONSCIOUS during that Administration. We REMEMBER this happening: fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/fredgrap…
(employment embedded if you can't link from above) People got health insurance. A LOT of people got health insurance. We were HERE for it. We REMEMBER it.

America’s Best Defense Against Socialism via @freebeacon freebeacon.com/columns/americ…
Marxist theory predicts the immiseration of the proletariat and subsequent revolution from below. This never happened in America. Labor confronted capital throughout the late nineteenth century, often violently, but American democracy and constitutionalism withstood the clash.
Socialist movements remained minority persuasions. When Eugene V. Debs ran for president in 1912, he topped out at 6 percent of the vote. Populist third-party candidates, from George Wallace in 1968 (14 percent) to Ross Perot in 1992 (19 percent) have done much better.
