LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Tuesday that health insurance proposals from the Democratic candidates for president would hurt business owners.

During a speech in Louisville at a conference for the Distilled Spirits Council, McConnell said he’s “never seen a Democratic party like we’re confronted with today.”
He said even the centrist Democrat candidates who propose a public option for health insurance over Medicare for all are supporting government-based insurance.
“If they make any effort to pay for all this free stuff that they’re promising the American people, they’re coming after you,” McConnell said to a room full of liquor industry leaders. “They’re coming after every successful business and every successful person in this country.”
McConnell said he is “hoping” the Senate will remain Republican after the November election.
“If the worst were to happen, if the president were not re-elected and the House were not to become Republican, we (the Senate) would be the firewall.”
McConnell said that any public option or Medicare for all proposal would not make it through the Senate.
“If I’m still Majority Leader of the Senate, none of this stuff is going to pass,” McConnell said.
All in all, I am willing to hurt billionaire business owners.
Yeah…Reagan said Medicare would be the end of our freedom…and Republicans opposed the 1935 Social Security Act saying it was communistic…the GOP has a long history of crying socialism and predicting economic doom whenever faced with a proposal for a social program that creates benefits for the general population.
Our health care is top notch second to none . We are the envy of the world. People fly to the USA for all kinds of treatments. Look around at your local Shuls and all the tzarchi refuas. We have rebas and others from Ey in LA etc..
No one flies to Norway for their great health care ( I am sure you’ll find one nitch that they do better on . But overall)
You got to be Insane like tricky Yoni to fall for this malarkey
Folks I heard Bernie sound bites tonight. The dumb tricky yoni, Honest or real reason is just plain stupid. I heard bernie Yell no premiums no copays no deductibles and the union members can keep their same quality gold bronze plan. Really who believes that garbage. Is thsi a kindergarden? Yeah keep on blabeling oh other devloped countries have it. But how ill you pay for it. no WE CANNOT AFFORD that type for helath care. Its a big huge yuge biggly fat lie. Stop selling us a bill of goods
The Left has gotten so powerful, and the Liberal media so pervasive; that even Republicans & Conservatives are afraid to apply rationality & logic to healthcare. Why is everyone afraid to deny insurance for pre-existing conditions? If people can wait until they’re sick to get insurance; why would they pay premiums needlessly for years? Why can automobile insurers charge according to a driver’s history, but health insurers cannot?
