The Left’s Affordability Scam
When did a former bartender become an expert in healthcare? When did a man dealing with a mental illness become an expert on caregiving?
House Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries is reportedly developing an “affordability agenda” that will address costs in five key areas—housing, gas and utilities, groceries and goods, caregiving and healthcare. He has assigned various Democrat House members to lead “working groups” in each area.
Guess who Jeffries picked to lead the healthcare working group? There are six House Democrats who have medical degrees. Anyone of them would have been a logical choice. So, of course, Jeffries chose Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC).
As far as I know, there is only one transgender member of Congress, Rep. “Sarah” McBride (D-DE), and Jeffries just put him in charge of “caregiving.”
I obviously missed the meeting. When did the former New York City bartender become an expert in healthcare? When did the man dealing with a mental illness become an expert on caregiving? The answer to both questions is—never.
Jeffries is signaling that AOC is the future of the Democrat Party. Her only position on healthcare is the position of today’s Democrat Party, which is that healthcare must be taken over by the government.
We were just informed that Social Security, as it is currently constituted, will face a fiscal crisis in six years. In an age of unsustainable deficits, Democrats want even more government spending on healthcare.
They have no solutions for healthcare. Their last “solution” was the cruelly misnamed “Affordable Care Act,” aka Obamacare. It was supposed to solve everything. It solved nothing. Healthcare is more expensive than ever!
By the way, there is no such thing as “free healthcare.” Democrats campaign on “Medicare for All.” Well, there are premiums and deductibles in Medicare, in addition to all the taxes that are collected to pay for it.
As for McBride, he has no background in caregiving at all. He has been an LGBTQ activist his whole life. So, what’s that about? It’s another signal by Jeffries.
The Democrat Party is not going to budge on its gender insanity ideology. They fought to the death to put a woman on the Supreme Court who didn’t know what a woman is. Now, they’ve put McBride in charge of caregiving. They’re telling you, “This is what we’re committed to, America. What are you going to do about it?”
