Comer: "This is a fake economy. You can't have 1/3 of America receiving some type of free government healthcare and then have another 1/3 that's getting a subsidized rate. That falls on the final 1/3 that's having to pay increased premiums."

Much as I am pleased about a change of regime at the BBC. It really pisses me off that they allowed a foreign government to exert such power in that decision. We all know Trump encouraged the insurrection - the BBC were just very clumsy how they portrayed it 😡😡

When political parties "receive donations", I it's obvious that it's nothing more than bribe money.
#Labour have clearly been "bought" by the same people who funded the #Tories, hence the similarities between them.
This needs to be banned. How can ANYONE trust politicians who are bought so easily?

Reform UK and Labour need to face much more scrutiny over the donations they have received. It’s naive to assume that there is no correlation between the policies they are putting forward and the donations they have received ✍️Martin Shipton

He's almost there in his thinking - eliminate health insurance industry, replace with a federal tax that evens the burden on all, and removes the need for profits, so all money from National Health care goes on care - then you just need to remove for profit hospitals and declare 1 network ..
His "concept" of a Healthcare Plan is finally revealed. It involves eliminating the Insurance Industry & people purchasing their OWN, MUCH BETTER, HEALTHCARE. Unrelated, note his obsessive envy of Obama, historically rated 1 of our finest presidents, who he still believes was born in Kenya.

The talking point they came up with is so lame and pathetic. Yes, insurance premiums are paid to insurance companies. Yes, the subsidies help low and low-middle income people afford to pay them. That’s how the ACA works. Just admit you want to raise premiums on 22 million people.
