How ‘Medicare for All’ Could Wreck America’s Health Care System and Its Economy—Chris Jacobs


Just who are the winners and who are the losers in a single-payer healthcare system? In the eyes of Chris Jacobs, what major problems exist in the universal healthcare systems in Canada and the UK? How would “Medicare for All” affect wait times and access to treatment, especially for people who need more specialized care? And what kinds of marketplace distortions and perverse incentives might result? This is American Thought Leaders 🇺🇸, and I’m Jan Jekielek. Today, guest host Joshua Philipp, who hosts our new channel, Crossroads, sits down with Chris Jacobs, author of “The Case Against Single Payer: How ‘Medicare for All’ Will Wreck America’s Health Care System―And Its Economy.” Jacobs is also the founder and CEO of Juniper Research Group. We discuss how, in Jacobs’ eyes, “Medicare for All” would increase wait times, lead to more fraud and corruption, and hurt senior citizens as well as society’s sickest and most vulnerable. We also look at how 71% of Americans would actually pay more under Bernie Sanders’ single-payer healthcare plan, according to analysis conducted by Emory University professor Kenneth Thorpe.

Emerson National Poll: ‘Sleepy, Crazy, Spank-Me and How’ Maintain Top Spots…


Re-Posted from The Conservative Tree House on August 27, 2019 by 

The outline of primary support at the end of August is traditionally how the voting ends up during the first primaries the following year.  Biden, Sanders, Warren and Harris look to be the only viable candidates. The challenge now becomes keeping the existing support.

(Via Emerson) […] Spencer Kimball, Director of Emerson Polling, points out that “Mayor Pete Buttigieg has seen his poll numbers drop all summer and is now at 3%, behind Andrew Yang who is at 4%. Mayor Pete has raised enough money to stay in the race for now but will need a strong debate performance to remain relevant.”

There continues to be a large age divide in the democratic primary with Sanders receiving 36% support of those under the age of 50 compared to 11% support among those 50 and over. Biden, on the other hand, has the support of 21% of those under 50 and 44% of those 50 and over. Warren’s support is more consistent as she is at 14% with voters under 50 and 17% with voters 50 and over. And Harris is at 8% among under 50 year olds and 12% among those 50 and up. (read more)

Joe “I’m Not Nuts” Biden…


Re-Posted from The Conservative Tree house on August 26, 2019 by 

Against a backdrop where people are beginning to questions the cognitive capabilities of the former Vice-President, and current democrat presidential candidate, Joe Biden; the candidate tells a campaign audience he was “not going nuts“….  WATCH:

.

This latest “I’m not nuts” campaign slogan might explain the recent Monmouth University Poll which shows a massive collapse of support for the former VP.

Monmouth – The poll finds a virtual three-way tie among Sanders (20%), Warren (20%), and Biden (19%) in the presidential nomination preferences of registered Democrats and Democratic-leaning voters across the country.

Compared to Monmouth’s June poll, these results represent an increase in support for both Sanders (up from 14%) and Warren (up from 15%), and a significant drop for Biden (down from 32%).

Biden has suffered an across the board decline in his support since June. He lost ground with white Democrats (from 32% to 18%) and voters of color (from 33% to 19%), among voters without a college degree (from 35% to 18%) and college graduates (from 28% to 20%), with both men (from 38% to 24%) and women (from 29% to 16%), and among voters under 50 years old (from 21% to 6%) as well as voters aged 50 and over (from 42% to 33%).

Most of Biden’s lost support in these groups shifted almost equally toward Sanders and Warren. (read more)

Israel Blocks Tlaib and Omar Visit over Support for Anti-Israel BDS Movement…


Re-Posted from The Conservative Tree House on August 15, 2019 by 

Citing the continued effort of Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Ilhan Omar (D-MN) to advocate for the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, the government of Israel notified Representatives Omar and Tlaib Wednesday night they would not be granted entry visas this weekend.

Not long before the news was public, President Donald Trump tweeted his support for the decision by the Israeli government:

Immediately the political media went bananas with proclamations that President Trump was the cause of the denied entry.  According to many DC politicians demanding the elimination of the state of Israel does not warrant a denial of entry.  The Democrats -and some Republicans- say Israel should respect the voices of American politicians who want to see their nation eliminated.  Apparently Israel disagrees with this position.

WASHINGTON – Israel on Thursday barred Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib from entering the Jewish state, citing their support for a Palestinian-led boycott movement — a decision that unleashed a torrent of condemnation by Democratic congressional lawmakers.

“The decision has been made, the decision is not to allow them to enter,” Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotovely told Israel’s Reshet Bet Radio.

[…]  Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended the announcement by Interior Minister Aryeh Deri by saying Israel is a “vibrant and free democracy” that is open to criticism of its policies, but “with one exception.”

“Israel’s law prohibits the entry of people who call and operate to boycott Israel, as is the case with other democracies that prevent the entry of people whose perception harms the country,” he said, according to The Jerusalem Post.

The decision was made by Netanyahu, Foreign Minister Israel Katz and Minister of Strategic Affairs Gilad Erdan.

“The State of Israel respects the US Congress, as part of the close alliance, but it is inconceivable that anyone who wishes to harm the State of Israel will be allowed, even during the visit,” a press statement said.  (read more)

CNN Detroit Debate, Night Two – Biden vs Harris – 8:00pm Open Discussion Thread…


Re-Posted from The Conservative Tree house on July 31, 2019 by 

Tonight CNN is the broadcast host for the second night of Democrat presidential primary debates in Detroit Michigan.  After a live lotto-draw, the line-up was announced for only the 20 presidential candidates who the DNC qualified the second set of debates.

[Former Senator Mike Gravel, Mayor Wayne Messam, former Representative Joe Sestak and billionaire Tom Steyer did not qualify for the second round of debates. Sad.]

Tonight puts all of the peoples’ of color candidates together.  In a luck-o’-the draw, ‘spank me’ Harris is in position to finish off ‘creepy’ Joe Biden.  Consequently, most of the pressure is upon Creepy to have a good debate and stop the downward spiral of support losses to Spank Me and How.

However, that possible conflict opens the door for fellow New Yorkers Gillibrand and Booker to play the creed-card, mounting racist attacks with opening statements in Spanglish while comrade De Blasio attempts to gain traction.

CNN holds exclusive broadcast rights to the debate. Consider this an open discussion thread for anyone watching…

CNN Unveils Two Night Debate Line-up, Twenty Candidates Qualify – July 30th and 31st…


Re-Posted from The Conservative Tree House on July 19, 2019 by 

CNN held a rather comical lotto-showcase to unveil the candidate line-up for their two night democrat candidate debate on Tuesday July 30th, and Wednesday July 31st. The debate line-up lotto was held one day after the DNC club announced the 20 presidential candidates who qualified the second debate.

[Former Senator Mike Gravel, Mayor Wayne Messam, former Representative Joe Sestak and billionaire Tom Steyer were the four presidential candidates who did not make the second round of debates.]

The first night is the all white line-up: the Thriller in Vanilla; and will put Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren on the stage along with Pete Buttigieg and Beto O’Rourke.  It will be interesting watch how the communist and socialist differentiate themselves, the crowd is expecting a free stuff frenzy.

Meanwhile white male Beto needs to take a bite out of white male Buttigieg to survive to round three.  Mayor Pete has been stealing all of self-flagellating Beto’s support; and the cashmere might start flying if the limo-liberals enter a demolition derby.

Ironically the second night puts all of the peoples’ of color candidates together.  Additionally, in a delicious luck-o’-the draw, ‘spank me’ Harris is in position to finish off ‘creepy’ Joe Biden.

Obviously most of the pressure is upon Creepy to have a good debate and stop the downward spiral of support losses to Spank Me and How.  However, that possible conflict opens the door for Booker to play the creed-card and mount a multi-front racist attack with an opening statement in Congolese.
