Politics Indiana: Trump in a romp, Sanders ahead of Clinton, CNN reports Cruz dropping out, Kasich too

Yes, you don't know what it is.

Medicare? Is "broke" or "bankrupt" or "insolvent" a good word?

I hope you never experience it.

All single payer does is cost more and more and it means higher and higher taxes that could go to something worthwhile.

Trustees: Medicare Will Go Broke in 2016, If You Exclude Obamacare's Double-Counting

The Trustees of the Medicare program have released their annual report on the solvency of the program. They calculate that the program is “expected to remain solvent until 2024, the same as last year’s estimate.” But what that headline obfuscates is that Obamacare’s tax increases and spending cuts are counted towards the program’s alleged “deficit-neutrality,” Medicare is to go bankrupt in 2016. And if you listen to Medicare’s own actuary, Richard Foster, the program’s bankruptcy could come even sooner than that.

 

It's sooooo appropriate.

 

A country with single payer.

Canada, Cuba, and North Korea are the only countries that have a true single-payer system. In these countries, an individual cannot buy health care services privately if that same service is covered and paid for by the government. Most single-payer systems find it necessary to incorporate a "buyout" provision. Great Britain, which started off as a single-payer system, found it could not serve everybody so the government allowed an outlet for people to buy private insurance or private care. This is a "buyout." But that is not a true single-payer system as considered by advocates.

 

Fatcats is a good name for Bernies new friends.

 

So there isn't single payer if there's private insurance paying, too.

That would be multiple payer.

It sure looks like single payer is tried, fails, and then the market is brought in to save the day before the nation is bankrupted.

 

Kasich has denied any interest in the VP spot. He'd bring exactly what trump needs in his administration: a guy with ties to congress who got significant legislation passed and signed.

I'd trust Kasich as president, chief of staff, budget director, Secretary of Treasury, etc.

I'm not sure he'd be appreciated enough to bring votes. He might help with Ohio, though.

 

I just can't see it being one of the 16 that ran against Trump. I think he'll be more imaginative than that.

Wow, I said something semi-nice about Trump.

I feel dirty.

I'm hoping for America's Crazy Sweetheart, Sarah Palin.

 

I seriously doubt it.

 

She's got the foreign experience that Trump is lacking.
