Because he's not a politician....right?I have said it before - Bloomberg gets my vote if he makes it that far.

Obviously he was mayor of the largest city in the U.S., but okay.Because he's not a politician....right?
LOL - No, because he is not Trump or Biden or Warren. He did a great job when he was the NYC mayor, BTW.Because he's not a politician....right?
There's a down side to Bloomberg's lavish spending that I had not considered...I can't find the essay now but...I have read that he intends to do more than try to win - he intends to help whoever gets the DNC nod get in. He is spending a ton of his own money to help accomplish that. He wants Trump out of the White House.
Saez and Zucman include that in their analysis.It is worth noting that Warren and Sanders plans include the basis for replacing your employer subsidized premiums with M4A.
Well it seems like you'd have less write-offs. If it is anything like Tricare, it will be better for almost anyone. Tricare is the only good health insurance I've ever had in terms of costs.I saw a lady yesterday who needed a tooth extracted. In checking her health Hx I noticed she takes alendronate (Fosamax) which has been known to cause osteonecrosis of the jawbone. This means the extraction site will not heal after a tooth extraction. I referred her to an oral surgeon. There are four oral surgeons in Jackson, TN but none of them accept her medicare insurance because it pays at such a poor rate.
This is the issue I have with all these health care plans. I had to write off close to $100,000 last year because I do accept the plans. Mind you thatās coming directly out of my compensation. The government takes bids from insurance companies and evidently the lowest bidder wins. Next year the allowable benefits will be less.
Bottom line is you are not going to receive the same level of health care once Uncle Sam starts controlling the purse strings. Health care for all sounds great, but let the buyer beware.
Medical care is a human right. The Mayo Clinic has the right model for medical care. There are a number of doctors in my family, and one dentist. None of them got into their field for the $$$, and they all give away as much care as they charge for in one way or another.I saw a lady yesterday who needed a tooth extracted.

I didnāt get into dentistry for the money either. I donāt turn patients away which is why I accept the above mentioned insurance. I agree health care is a human right.Medical care is a human right.

But, to be clear, the best medical care in the world is available at Mayo clinics. They accept whatever payment a patient can afford - down to nothing. They do not turn away patients because they cannot pay. You do not go to work for the Mayo clinic to get rich because you are salaried. Still, patient care is the best in the world.
It will work just fine.
Just FYI, Mayo Clinic actually offers the best physician compensation of any academic hospital in the country, and it's not really close. That's the only way they can attract talent to Rochester, MN.Medical care is a human right. The Mayo Clinic has the right model for medical care.

Think about that - their model of only accepting what people can pay still allows them to attract the best talent. The GOP has been lying to the world about the "risks" associated with this type of model. They believe that people only get into medicine to get rich because they only get into politics to get rich. They do not understand what drives people to become doctors.Just FYI, Mayo Clinic actually offers the best physician compensation of any academic hospital in the country, and it's not really close.

You're right that no one goes into academic medicine for the money, though.
Bloomberg has a very interesting message to the conservative middle class voter who is interested in quality health care, education, practical approaches to crime and fiscal responsibility. Responsible members of the banking and investment community (i.e. big money) are favorably inclined toward him. IMO he has the potential of pulling a significant portion of conservative voters if he is able to gain traction in the primaries. I tend to believe that both Trump and his strongly left leaning opposition scare the heck out of most of corporate America and the financial community and ultimately Bloomberg is their candidate. This goes against many of our more progressive friends here but, I believe, we need a candidate who can consider all facets of an issue without being owned by special interest groups in general.LOL - No, because he is not Trump or Biden or Warren. He did a great job when he was the NYC mayor, BTW.
Anyone who votes for Trump over Bloomberg based on the sugary drinks thing is voting for Trump no matter what. That is not going to swing a single vote.I don't see how Bloomberg is electable. Trump would eat him alive on stop -and -frisk and the banning of 32 0z. cokes alone...his 2A record would certainly be problematic for him. It would make for an entertaining debate, but I would wager that the majority of those voters who are not firmly entrenched on either side would not view NYC as a model of government that they can get behind. Bloomberg beating Biden, Warren, Sanders, and Mayor Pete seems pretty far -fetched at this point. But then again I'm sure Jeb and the crew were saying the same thing about PDJT.
There are a ton of folks out there that are tired of Nanny State Policies. If you don't think that is an issue, then we interact with totally different types of people...which is ok.Anyone who votes for Trump over Bloomberg based on the sugary drinks thing is voting for Trump no matter what.
