Everybody's Letting Rep. Ro Khanna Know His 'Medicare for All' Pitch Sure Smells Familiar

The big pitch among many Democrats and DSA types these days is "Medicare for All!"

Democrats are trying to gaslight everybody into believing how much money it would save, not to mention lives.

Rep. Ro Khanna is one of the Democrats doing the most work when it comes to pushing massive lies on the American public. Here's the latest example:

A new Yale analysis found Medicare for All would cover every American AND save more than $1 trillion a year, cutting national health care spending by 20%.

It would also mean better pay for doctors, nurses, and healthcare providers. The savings from cutting private insurance and…

First of all, that pitch really sounds familiar.

Sounds just like the bullshit Obama peddled. Remember this one…“well lower premiums by up to $2500”?

We all know how that turned out. The government taking over healthcare is exactly why it’s so unaffordable.

"The Affordable Care Act" made healthcare less affordable much in the same way the "Inflation Reduction Act" worsened inflation. But of course we're supposed to believe that this time it'll be different.

Another "shameless liar" has been detected:

He’s such a shameless liar. Leaving aside that the study is garbage per se, many of its supposed savings come from its assumption that doctors and hospitals will be paid *less*. It says this in Table 1. And yet Khanna claims the exact opposite will happen here. Astonishing. https://t.co/isoSFBliRM

The Yale study doesn’t prove Medicare for All will save $1 trillion—it is a model projection, not an observed result, and it depends heavily on ambitious estimates and assumptions. It is has not yet been peer reviewed. It assumes very large cuts in payments to doctors and… https://t.co/eYhCyoMGOT

🚨 Ro Khanna just posted another “Medicare for All saves $1 trillion” post.

The “Yale study” he’s citing is a non-peer-reviewed preprint written by Alison Galvani, the same researcher who previously advised Bernie Sanders on the bill.

This is not analysis. It’s fan fiction… https://t.co/56MmwzPawg

In other words, Khanna's shoveling a lot of BS again, which he does more often than a cattle farmer.
