That's one of his best trolls yet.

Trump could have mitigated Kim's criticism by saying "at least he's a useful idiot".

But what exactly has Biden done that was useful?

. @KamalaHarris talking up #MedicareForAll says 91% of doctors are already in the Medicare system & therefore you won't (likely) lose him/her in a single-payer plan --> "The odds on favorite is you will be able to keep your doctor."

Agreed. His next town hall should be held at the Blue Oyster Bar, headlined by the Village People.

Anyone have an actual number on that? My family in the medical field are mostly specialists and Medicare is a no go.

They're referring to primary care physicians.  Last study that was done was in 2015 so take it with a grain of salt.  There's other surveys that show little difference between specialists accepting medicare compared to primary doctors. 

 

Medicaid is another animal as fewer doctors take medicaid because of the lower reimbursment rate compared to private insurance.  The percentage of doctors who take medicaid aren't that different compared to 20 years ago but there are more people are on medicaid now so it's a bigger problem.

My sister-in-law was enrolled in Medicare, she couldn't find a pulmonologist anywhere in the Metro DC area.  Her daughter was in it, and couldn't find an orthopedist to set a broken wrist (there were two in her county who took Medicare - one, the ER doc she saw, was forbidden to treat her outside the ER due to conflict of interest as a "self-referral."  The other was his partner, and couldn't see her for the same reason.)

 

Because - again - health coverage is not health care.

 DNC makes it more difficult to qualify for 3rd debate.

The debate is set for Sept. 12 and could extend to a second night, Sept. 13, if enough candidates meet the threshold to participate. The location and moderators have not yet been announced.

 

Like the first two Democratic presidential debates — which are set for next month on NBC, MSNBC and Telemundo and for July on CNN — the September debate and a fourth, to be held in October, will cap participants at 10 per night.

 

But it will be more difficult for the nearly two dozen 2020 Democratic hopefuls to make the stage.

 

Unlike the first and second rounds of debates, when candidates must cross either a donor or polling threshold to qualify, candidates will need to surpass both bars to make the stage for the third and fourth debates. For the September event, candidates will have to hit 2 percent in four qualifying polls, versus 1 percent in three polls for the first debates, and they will need 130,000 individual donors, up from 65,000.

 

Although the polling threshold increase is modest, it could represent a significant barrier for many candidates who have struggled to hit that mark in early polling.

 

Interesting that the fundraising qualifier is determined by the number of individual donors, rather than total donations received. If that incentivizes candidates into going after any fringe Democrat voter with a few dollars to spare, the results shouldn’t fail to amuse.

Which is fine, really.  They have to have at least one serious debate that's not all Swalwelled up.
