This-- people think provider networks are annoying? Look how many Doctors are already restricting the number of Medicaid/Medicare patients they treat. 

Cool. But you do know a lot of doctors don’t take Medicare right?

Wait— “no restrictive provider networks”?

The New Deal was hugely incremental-- Social Security was structured specifically to exclude professions with heavy African-American involvement in order to secure the votes of Southern legislators. 

Not to mention that for Medicare-- the insurance industry supported it-- in the 50s through early 60s insurance providers tried to make coverage for Seniors work and couldn’t do so profitably. 

Actually....Medicaid has substantially changed and expanded from it’s initial passage.

Seriously, I swear Libby and others for the all or nothing approach would have preferred Obama et al pushed a quixotic single payer or nothing campaign and failed rather than pass the ACA. Not to mention that things like Medicaid and Social Security were also incremental in their passage and implementation. 

Not to mention- the Medicare for All that want it approach would actually solve most of the concerns Libby has-- if your employer plan changes due to job change or employer shifting providers and you no longer want it-- guess what there’s a public option. 

Germany, Japan, France.....hell you could make a much better argument that no nation approaching the size of the US utilizes single payer. 

Oh no this is literally the attitude that would have preferred a failed single payer push to the ACA- because making political point is somehow more important than saving tens if not hundreds of thousands of lives. 

Please outline in even vague detail how an Executive Order could create M4A. 

So....couldn’t people who like their employer-based plan only to have it change on them regardless of reason then utilize the public option under Medicare for all that want it?

I’m starting to think the House votes aren’t there and that’s why Pelosi is slow walking things.

Wait.... A donation a quarter century ago?

You say that now, but when Brian Kilmeade rips a dude’s throat out on national TV.....

Possibly not, I mean she did also say impeachment (much less removal) seems relatively easy when:

This- my step dad did an annual summer rotation at the Emergency Medicine station at Lake every summer and the sheer number of freaking idiot doing dumb shit they wouldn’t even attempt in a Zoo with wild animals is insane.

Wait....like in a real Courtroom, not at a County Brisket cook-off?

Eh....apparently there’s an audio issue in the chamber for both Mueller and Representatives. 

I mean, with Gohmert I’m like 99.9% sure he actually believes them, he’s a sentient Facebook meme shared by that one relative you ignore over the holidays (this contrasts with Matt Gaetz who is more a semi-ambulant 4chan).
