OK, if you do that then you've also got to remove the limit on what they receive from FICA during retirement. That's how FICA works.
We could also remove the limit on income subject to FICA taxes and subject capital gains to FICA. The Kochs would poop peach pits.
I don't care if you are or are not. That's irrelevant to the fact you appear to you have little to no sympathy for people who are going to be impacted by this. That's been made abundantly clear.And I'm sooo honored you did...
So we should spend money on his treatment while he votes to throw others off their health coverage because he sat in a Vietnamese hole for a few years?You really don't know? Read about his service to his country sometime. I'm really amazed you'd ask such a dumbass question. I obviously gave you far more credit than you deserve.
Of course you don't have to remove the limit. It's easy to say single payer can't be done if you choose to discard every single way it certainly can be done.OK, if you do that then you've also got to remove the limit on what they receive from FICA during retirement. That's how FICA works.

That’s still $599 billion short of what the country actually spent on health care in 2013 ($949 billion in premiums and $325 billion for out-of-pocket expenses, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services).
Well we already know that you care about yourself but it's also apparent you don't care about anyone else. Do you even care about your wife?
If he was relying on the same healthcare that veterans are typically entitled to then I very much doubt anyone here would object to it. In fact I think most on here would agree that all veterans deserve a higher standard of healthcare than they currently receive via their military service.
That isn't the issue though. The issue is the double standard that he represents due to the fact that he enjoys some of the best healthcare available in this country at the taxpayer's expense solely due to his current government position, while simultaneously using that government position to fight to remove access to a significantly lower standard of healthcare for tens of millions of other Americans.
If your point is that we ought to raise the healthcare given to vets then I'm on board. If your point is that we should lower John McCain's healthcare because the vets get shitty care then that's where we disagree. If you want to cut Nancy Pelosi's or Ted Cruz' cushy healthcare package, I'm game but leave McCain out of it
I think that publicly held positions should be subject to income requirements for public healthcare. It can be tiered, but after a certain amount, tax payers don't cover it. And healthcare coverage should be terminated when the individual is no longer in office.If he was relying on the same healthcare that veterans are typically entitled to then I very much doubt anyone here would object to it.

No, you won't be, and that's the bigger issue.I'm going to be impacted by this.

But damn, that con-aid sure is tasty.No, you won't be, and that's the bigger issue.
Gawd. His point is that people at the top shouldn't screw over the ones at the bottom. That covers McCain & 50 other assholes in the Senate just like him.
No, you won't be, and that's the bigger issue.
He lumped himself. It was his choice to be a Republican. He didn't have to sign on with that gang of degenerate assholes but he did.Don't lump McCain in with the rest of 'em. Gawd to you too
