Democrat voters are confused about what a single-payer, Medicare for All plan actually means, a new poll shows.

You’re served with a notice. Apparently you’d shared some photos you didn’t own on the internet a while ago, and now someone–possibly an artist, possibly a copyright troll–can file for damages of up to $30,000. Scam, you think, and toss the paper. Unfortunately for you, those copyright infringement proceedings were real, and now a government entity unbeknownst to you–something called the Copyright Claims Board–has determined, without judge or jury, that you owe this person $30,000.

Young Americans owe the federal government, which also owes them. And neither can easily meet their obligations. Sounds like the makings of a deal to me.

Medicare open enrollment began last week and continues through Dec. 7. It’s an opportunity for seniors to ask what they want out of Medicare and choose an option moving them toward that goal. But those options could change significantly in the near future, for the better — or for the worse.

Supporters of single-payer healthcare continue their efforts to promote the system in the U.S. but a critic says a sad and preventable case in Canada puts another dent in the argument for government-run healthcare.

Even though two Democratic presidential primary frontrunners tout their universal healthcare program as “Medicare for All,” one expert in the medical field stresses that it is not today’s Medicare for all.

In single-payer systems, patients receive neither high quality nor comprehensive health care, nor are they alleviated from having to self-pay for the treatment they need. And although single-payer proponents won’t say it, euthanasia is a grim reality of socialized medicine. 

A hysterical over-reaction to something small does not show how strong someone is. It shows how weak and insecure they are.

Democrats will regret setting into motion the never-ending impeachment process.

It looks like the decade-old U.S. shale oil boom may keep us out of war.
