@aebadirad @mollydotcom Imperfect as it is (not allowed to negotiate drug $) Medicare for all would work & cost less than current system 2/2
@aebadirad @mollydotcom Medicare for everyone over 65 works *because* everyone is on it (for all practical purposes). 1/+

@aebadirad @mollydotcom So are you against "forcing" everyone to participate in police & fire department protection, too?
@aebadirad False premises. You yourself conceded could have 2015 healthcare with Medicare for all (dropping @mollydotcom as kindness to her)

@aebadirad Not the issue at all. We only need society in aggregate to return value = (or >) than is taken in aggregate —not individuals
@aebadirad I don't think that word means what you think it does. In the era of serfs, it was the top few living off the work of serfs 1/2

@aebadirad Again you argue from false premises. Medicare costs grow at slower rate than rest of medical market. It's not main fuel of prices
@aebadirad I want everyone to get medical care as a right, just like police & fire protection, schools, roads & the like. 1/2

@aebadirad You're telling me how *you think* it affects things —but your conclusions don't match evidence or logic (or history, re:serfs)
@aebadirad "Literally the bottom living off the top few." is the exact opposite of serfdom. Serfs lived off their own work. Nobles lived off
