Bera on Medicare for All: “I’m not a Socialist” How did Ami Bera’s Florin Town Hall meeting go? A bit cringe-worthy on many fronts. On just health care, Bera again stated he’s clearly not for Medicare for All, but wouldn't specify exactly what he is for. This is much like his campaign Web site that touts his support for something called a “Pathway to Universal Coverage” but with no details. Finally one of the many frustrated constituents asked if Bera was a Democrat. Bera answered. “I am proud to be a Democrat, but I am not a Socialist.” He explained he is for free markets, he believes in competition. What Bera neglected to note is he’s taken more than $1 million in career donations from Big Insurance, Big Pharma and Big Corporate Medicine. And the “free market” those sponsors support feature market consolidation, minimal competition, lower standards of care, inflated consumer costs and windfall profits at the public's expense. This is why most Americans reject Bera’s idea of free democracy and free markets. They know it's all become rigged. And to disagree with crony capitalism apparently means you are sympathizing with socialists. Doesn't that sound more like Trump than a Democrat? But that's all opponents of Medicare for All have. No details about their alternative. Just scare tactics, a rigged system and rigged labeling.
