Just a rudimentary understanding of Medicare as it is should inform you that Medicare is a 'buy-in', as is SS.

Contributions throughout a working life are the common threads.

And for Medicare, yes, a premium is deducted from monthly gross SS. So, Medicare for all would need to duplicate a similar buy-in.

A combination of employee payroll withholding and corp. taxes for example.

It would be no more socialistic that money for roads, schools, police and fire depts., DOD, NASA, CDC and so on.

And oh yeah, my favorite hypocrisy bubble prick, no different than the redistribution of tax revenues, collected from higher GDP States, to less prosperous States. You know who they are.

You want to get worked up over makers and takers, you need to face those facts.

And give us our damned TVA and rural electrification back. Also all of those WPA constructed post offices with the nice murals inside.

Medicare for All is Socialism.

The VA is socialism and you have no problem taking from there.

In a strict definition of socialism no its not. The "people" do not own the hospitals, clinics, pharmacy's. Had tribes from prehistoric times to modern not practiced various forms of socialism we would not be where we are today.

conix, Your lie was and is in calling Warren and/or other candidates socialists as you did in that post.

Repeat to you - conix, Yet the conservative socialist lie you repeat is a favorite of yours.
[...]
Nobody in these debates wants government ownership of the means of production, which is what socialism used to mean. Most of the candidates are, instead, what Europeans would call “social democrats”: advocates of a private-sector-driven economy, but with a stronger social safety net, enhanced bargaining power for workers and tighter regulation of corporate malfeasance. They want America to be more like Denmark, not more like Venezuela.

You could have decribed Warren, if she made it, as you not wanting a 'social democrat' as president.

Just don't continue to push your conservative fearmongering socialism lie here.

That's only because you have no idea, like most ignorant people, what socialism means.
