The Schumer Shutdown

How would they make that happen, and why don't they want to?

Not my area of expertise. What have Republicans ever brought to the table regarding retirement or healthcare other than to cut it.

Was Marco Rubio lying? If so, what are the real numbers?

He might be. Have you checked his figures?

He provided anecdotal evidence. What are the real numbers is something he should have provided instead of ”trust me”

How do you know he didn't provide real numbers?

What have the Democrats done? As low end working class I had wonderful healthcare, until Obamacare ruined it and I ended up without coverage. If I became a bum, then I would've gotten coverage.

At lest some Democrats have pushed for a Medicare for all type model. Insurance tied to employment is not helping anything. At a minimum, all healthcare insurance needs to be removed from employer benefit packages and put on the open market like auto and home insurance to bring in actual competition on premiums.

Is it a realistic practical workable model? There is a Healthcare Marketplace. But I don't know how it compares to auto and home insurance along those lines.

I would prefer commercial insurance be completely optional with everyone on Medicare. Medicare is already a proven model that can be configured for universal coverage.

My employer recently changed insurance coverage, all my providers went out of network with it and less coverage. My option is to accept and adapt to what is now offered now or look for a new employer and hope their coverage offered is better. I shouldn’t need to consider changing jobs because of healthcare coverage. Employer and healthcare coverage should be two unrelated decisions.
