Democrats' Plan to Destroy the Jobs Boom

[GURPS]

But Democrats running for president are pitching plans that will destroy millions of jobs, doubling the number of people out of work.

Consider "Medicare for All." It could wipe out a staggering 2.5 million health insurance and health care jobs nationwide, causing the number of unemployed people in this country to jump by almost half.

New research by Stanford University doctors in the Journal of the American Medical Association shows that Medicare for All will cause hospitals to lose a whopping $151 billion in payments the first year. Hospitals will be forced to eliminate as many as 1.5 million jobs overnight.

Meanwhile, Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., who's sponsoring Medicare for All legislation in the House, admits it will cause 1 million insurance employees to get canned. She cavalierly suggests they can retire or get job retraining. Tell heartless Jayapal to do that herself.

Presidential aspirant Bernie Sanders brags Medicare for All will prevent Americans from having to choose between food on the table and medicine. Sorry, Bernie, but if your job is eliminated, putting food on your table will be impossible.

I think calling it "Medicaid for All" is more appropriate.

Some of the "explanation" is that if you're not spending money on health insurance, then you're not going to feel the pinch of a higher tax.

Wow. So if it saves me nothing - why do I need the government to deliver what you've determined I already have?

So we'll have more people eligible for medical care and less people to administer it, sounds about like a D plan.
