I mean why not just walk around handing out hundreds at the voting booths? Probably would be cheaper and buy you the same votes from the same voters you were going to get anyway.https://twitter.com/BernieSanders/status/1217863111472025600 …
Promising to cancel student loan debt is only serving to piss off the poor who had such shitty schools they couldn't even go to college. It's handing money to relatively wealthy people who would have voted Democrat anyway, and alienating people who can't even get a degree.
And student loan debt is very telling. If these candidates wanted to cancel a debt that would actually benefit everyone--especially the poor--it'd be *medical debt*. Medical debut would also be easier to cancel, and could start Medicare being a force to reduces prices.
Canceling medical debt would also help young children, the elderly, and the poor, as those are the people who usually have it. It'd also be easier since there's already an agency that basically does this. It could also be tied with various hospital reforms:
1. Enforce price matching on diagnostics and make it illegal federally to prevent opening a competing diagnostic center. That alone would have knocked $9000 off my last medical bill for a CT scan that a center down the street does for $250.
2. Force http://healthcare.gov to publicly list what insurance works at what hospitals. 3. Did you know that insurance companies contract with doctors to prevent them from saying what insurance you should get? Make that illegal collusion.
4. Prevent all collections on medical debt from showing up on anyone's credit report. 5. Make it illegal to charge people money *after* they leave a hospital. Hospitals claim this isn't logistically possible but I bet if you made it illegal they'd have it fixed in 1 day.
6. Make fees for emergency rooms the same as any other part of the hospital. Combined with the price matching--where I can show the same procedure was cheaper at another hospital, so they have to match it--you'd solve a massive debt cause.
7. Start fucking funding residencies again. One of the reasons we have such high costs is because doctors got together and talked the government into not funding residencies in the 90s, so now there's fewer doctors.https://economix.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/12/17/how-medicare-subsidizes-doctor-training/ …
8. Then tell Medicare/Caid that its job is to now work like the Federal Reserve and use its policy to keep medical costs low in any way that works. If that means using its might to negotiate lower drug costs it does it. If it means reporting doctor's malpractice, it does it.
But, fat chance of any medical debt getting canceled or any meaningful reforms. We'll have candidates promise the people who already vote Democrat that their student loan debt is canceled and then Democrats will lose because that'll piss off everyone else.
