Something that helps everyone? We can’t have that, now can we?

I wonder if the logic of paying less every single paycheck and no medical debt will ever win out versus “paying for someone else” to have coverage? Hmmm…

Rich guy helping the rich. Screwing over the poor and everyone else. The for profit insurance companies are greedy garbage.

Of course Bezos-owned paper hates Medicare for All, why would a billionaire who literally owns the health-insurance-adjacent juggernaut ever endorse a system that actually cuts our private profits? It’s like asking McDonald’s to cheer for kale.

Anything is better than the system we have now. ANYTHING.

The rich are terrified of the people getting a functional government that takes care of its people.

Simultaneously sad and funny that the Washington Post is identified not as the Washington Post but as “Bezos-owned newspaper” in the headline

The man who pioneered automatically firing workers who piss in bottles to sustain their mandatory performance benchmarks, hates healthcare for all.

Bezos doesn’t need Medicare for All. This is the problem with leadership by billionaire oligarchy.

You make a population healthier by culling the weak. This will bring down costs of medical care for the rich as there will not be any pressure on increasing their taxes to pay for the less fortunate.

I’m glad to see this issue coming to the fore, again. Trusting greedy corporations not to gouge simply isn’t working.

Medicare for all is gaining momentum if this is going on.
This is a good thing.
We are the richest country in the world.
By that metric alone; we can afford to implement it

Amazon health just started to pick up, can’t have the public getting “free” healthcare.

The Tories have been actively attempting to destroy the NHS for decades. Their effort continue to bear fruit. If the U.K. spent as much on health care as the U.S. – the U.S. spends twice as much per capita – then the U.K. system would likely look like the gold standard of health care in the world.

4th richest man in the world gives just enough money to charity to get his taxes down with very low pay and blocking unions, paying warehouse workers less than the average wage and uses unfair practices to price fix. In short a very greedy person that only thinks about ways to make even more and cares nothing about the people that buy from amazon or work for him. This is just so predictable that he would bash medicare.

Medicare for all is the future. And it’s close. Not within 3 years close, but within a decade

Companies which don’t provide across the board health insurance to all of their employees see the choices as this: pay only for those who qualify/ where the incentive is necessary to attract talent VS paying higher costs in taxes to provide for or all of their workers and the US population. They don’t care that the collective cost will be lower. They don’t care about outcomes. They take a hard libertarian stance and ignore the pragmatic arguments.

When will we learn these corporations and conglomerates do not have our best interest at heart. I’d even take decently humane treatment at this point.

The argument that about the underfunded system in the UK or a tired and oft- retired one. It ignores the fact that the US spends twice what the UK does and gets a problematic system that leaves millions uncovered and getting poorer health outcomes. That means the US could spend 50% more per person on a national system, thus alleviating the deficiencies of the UK system and still pay 25% less than we are now, while covering everybody!
