Comments by "" (@thehumanity0) on "Democrat Ocasio-Cortez fails to explain her $40T plan" video.

That $40 Trillion that CNN 'came up with' is total bullshit. Jake Tapper did a nonfactual "fact-check" of Medicare-for-All 2 weeks ago and it got so much negative feedback that he had to do a retraction and claim that it does actually save the American people $2 Trillion. However, he literally put that "$32 Trillion for Medicare-for-All" in that $40 Trillion number he just pulled out of his ass and ambushed Ocasio-Cortez with. Of Course Jake Tapper doesn't mention that that -$32 Trillion should ACTUALLY be a +$2 Trillion considering he had to publicly admit that Medicare-for-All saves the tax payers $2 Trillion. Funny how Fox News is doing free propaganda for CNN. They're both establishment garbage.

Fox News and CNN deserve each other. They're both fake news propaganda. Don't mention that Jake Tapper did a fact-check on Medicare-for-All and then had to retract it because it was bullshit. He literally put $32 Trillion in that number ($40 Trillion) without even acknowledging that Medicare-for-All REPLACES our current system and SAVES Trillions. The fucker had to do a retraction on that story only 2 weeks ago and here he is again bullshitting about it as if nothing ever happened. Pathetic that Fox News is doing propaganda for CNN now.

Jake Tapper pulled that "$40 Trillion estimate" right out of his ASS. Why is Fox News doing propaganda for "Fake News CNN"?

$32 Trillion of that $40 Trillion is for Medicare-for-All, which CNN coincidentally don't tell you would actually SAVE $2 Trillion according to a study done by the Koch Brothers funded Mercatus Center. Jake Tapper literally just had to do a retraction on a bullshit "fact-check" he did 2 weeks ago and had to admit he was wrong, however, he's still doing propaganda on the same bullshit claiming that "Medicare-for-All costs $32 Trillion" without one word about how our current system costs $34 Trillion. Are you guys seriously trusting CNN and Jake Tapper now?

Fox News and CNN are both establishment garbage. Ocasio-Cortez has policies that actually 100% help the American working class and Fox News and CNN's main reaction is to smear Smear SMEAR. Fucking garbage propaganda.

Jake Tapper threw that made-up number at her out of nowhere and the number is a complete fabrication to begin with. It claims that "$32 Trillion is the cost of Medicare for All" when Jake Tapper just 2 weeks ago had to do a retraction on his Medicare for All story where he tried to claim the same bullshit. CNN and Jake Tapper are garbage, just know where your getting your information from. She did answer it and ignored Jake Tapper's bullshit number CNN made up out of thin air.

You realize that CNN pulled that $40 Trillion out of Jake Tapper's ASS right? You seriously in the habit of suddenly trusting CNN and Jake Tapper now?

+Rojava Bashur - Apparently every other nation in the civilized world waved a wand "shouting abracadabra!" and was able to make it happen and now pay far less for healthcare than the US does while covering everyone. Americans love their system of going bankrupt from a car accident though

+craxd1 - That's a lie. Either intentional, or just one you're telling yourself. You can even go around Trump rallies and ask people what they care about and they tell you they want to keep their Medicare and need lower prices for basic care and prescription drugs and usually add something in there about how Obamacare is "evil". When you see interviews from people like that I've literally NEVER seen someone complain about how they want "more options". Nobody is complaining wanting to pick an exact specific doctor and especially not "more options in insurance plans". Everytime I hear Paul Ryan say that shit, it's so pathetic. In the bottom 99% of America, you have two main choices "SICK" or "HEALTHY". Nobody gives a shit about the type of "Plan" they have and which things it will cover and all the things it won't. It's realistically either SICK or HEALTHY, everything else is bullshit.

That $40 Trillion number is coming from CNN and directly from Jake Tapper. Funny how Fox news does propaganda for CNN when both their interests are aligned to protect the establishment and their precious private insurance market that gouges prices on the consumers.

This $40 Trillion number is coming from Fake News CNN and straight out of Jake Tapper's ASS. Why the fuck are you trusting anything from those fuckers? He's clearly lying about the cost of Medicare-for-All which makes up nearly the entirety of that number.

Funny how you guys suddenly agree with Fake News CNN and Jake Tapper now who pulled that $40 Trillion number out of their ASS. Fox news is doing free propaganda for CNN now.

CNN is a scam. That's where that $40 Trillion "estimate" came from. Jake Tapper is a giant piece of garbage. He had to do a retraction on his bullshit "Medicare-for-All fact-check" the other week because people knew it was bullshit and that Medicare-for-All actually SAVES $2 Trillion for the tax payers. Even with doing the retraction though, he's still here again claiming "Medicare-for-All costs $32 Trillion" without even mentioning that our current system costs $34 Trillion. Where do you think that $40 Trillion came from?

@firstname4160 When will you guys learn that CNN might be (neo)liberal, but they certainly aren't 'Leftist' unless it comes to social issues where they hack away at identity politics to make up for their terrible stances on economic issues. They're literally biased to protect the status quo and establishment because they're a multi-billion $ corporations just like Fox News. They both want deregulation, more tax cuts, and less government insight over Wall Street and Banks because it personally enriches their own corporations. Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton are acceptable, Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders are unacceptable. This is exactly what is happening with Ocasio-Cortez now because she talks about the corruption in Washington and revolving door between Wall Street, Mainstream Media, and D.C.. This threatens the status quo, which is why you have both CNN and Fox News constantly attacking her. Your theory that "liberal dominated CNN even find her stupid and ignorant" is childish and doesn't take into consideration the reality and corruption behind politics and mainstream media.

@georgenelson3719 Obama promised those things about the ACA back when he claimed there would also be a public option. Once he took his proposals to Congress, he folded to Republicans almost immediately, which is why we ended up with NO public option and essentially RomneyCare by Mitt Romney's right-wing think tank, the Heritage Foundation. The Affordable Care Act aka Obamacare was garbage because it's in essence a right-wing moderate plan, that yes, leaves 25 million people uninsured because he never added in the public option or many things he claimed he would do. However, you can tell Bernie Sanders is serious because he doesn't compromise on these things compared to neoliberal moderate hack Obama, which is exactly why every Amazon worker in the US and the UK now have a $15 minimum wage, because Bernie never compromised, and which is why he's now doing the same thing for Walmart with the "Stop Walmart Act" and has just this week proposed a plan to drop prescription drug prices. Obama and Trump just pretend to want change to steal votes from their base, but Sanders is not even president (and just one senator in a sea of corruption in D.C.) and he's already bettering the lives of millions of Americans. So yes, I do believe a populist like Bernie Sanders far more than I believe liberal centrists like Obama. Also, Medicare-for-All is projected to save $2 Trillion because it costs $2 Trillion less on the the taxpayers than our current healthcare system, which has a ridiculous amount of overhead spent on for-profit insurance companies. The savings are likely higher than $2 Trillion though because at this moment our current healthcare system under the ACA and Trump would cost $34 Trillion over the next 10 years for what it is now, but it is projected to continue to bubble and grow in cost due to the instability of the ACA coupled with Trump's efforts to defund healthcare and derail the ACA to the point where people are ready for his even worse Trumpcare. So for the next 10 years, our current unstable system could cost more like $37 Trillion or as high as $49 Trillion according to one Harvard study. In short, we can't afford NOT to switch to Medicare for All because prices are just going to get worse and worse for consumers.

Jake Tapper is the only claiming anything. "Fake News CNN" came up with that number out of nowhere and tried to ambush Ocasio-Cortez with it. The number is almost entirely made up of "$32 Trillion for Medicare for All", which Jake Tapper knows full well that Medicare-for-All actually SAVES the tax payers $2 Trillion. He had to do a fucking retraction on his Medicare-for-All story only 2 weeks ago because it was misleading, dishonest garbage. I can't believe Fox News viewers are trusting CNN now.
