“The problem is one of supply and demand. Single-payer systems offer “free” care, so patients have no incentive to moderate their demand for care. But government cannot procure enough supply to meet that demand without bankrupting taxpayers. Government officials’ only option is to ration care.

Despite the failings of the NHS, Democrats want to establish a single-payer system in the United States. The Medicare for All bill sponsored by Sen. Bernie Sanders would outlaw private insurance and funnel nearly all Americans into a one-size-fits-all, government-run health plan. That bill promises comprehensive medical, dental, and even vision care, courtesy of John Q. Taxpayer.

The total bill? A cool $32 trillion over 10 years. Next year, the federal government projects it’ll take in $3.4 trillion in revenue. So Medicare for All’s yearly tab is nearly equivalent to the federal government’s entire annual tax take.

And Medicare for All’s multitrillion-dollar cost estimate banks on bringing payments for healthcare providers down to the level paid by the existing Medicare program. That would represent a reduction of about 40 percent, relative to private insurance rates. Such pay cuts are likely to drive providers out of business — or discourage the next generation of doctors and nurses from entering the field.”

After Posting this now several times, I even went as far to Post it on Alyse Galvin for Congress last town hall in the comments. Still no response. She makes claims to listen to all Alaskan's and their needs. But won't give an answer to this question..... Why Not?

Every-time I have heard what she has said in regards, just to Healthcare. She talks about what our Local Lawmakers are in charge of and not what, can or should be done in Congress. Most everything she says is at a Local level that she is saying while Campaigning and nothing at all to do with the position that she is running for.

#2. Begich/Walker supporters are telling all Alaskan Natives that Dunleavy will send their children back to boarding Schools which haven’t existed now for 60 years. Seems they would like you to believe the internet doesn’t exist and major leaps in home schooling will all be rolled back to the stone ages.

#3. Begich claims Dunleavy has no plan how to run Alaska’s Government. Truth is, Dunleavy is refusing to push the socialist agenda of tax everything and use the PFD TO FUND Government forever. He wants to protect the PFD with the formula that has been in use for the last 40 years and constitutionally protect it, so that it can’t ever be misused by government ever again, reign in the out of control spending that Rural Alaska depends on for their sole means of survival, repeal SB91 and deal with the out of control costs that the Expansion of Healthcare has cause our state over the last 4 years, expand logging, oil production, mining, tourist trade and fishing to mention just a small part of his plan.

Link to what he says about just about the PFD. from Dunleavy:

Begich on the other hand wants to use the PFD to fund Government forever, expand social welfare so that more people can claim they live a Subsistence lifestyle (Code For Welfare is how they live), expand healthcare so that the $500,000,000 million of our local taxpayer money goes closer to a Billion a year, try to make sure Ballot Measure One passes, killing jobs in Alaska so more people will get on welfare and Expand SB91, because in his mind, it’s the best thing since the invention of the wheel and make sure to take as much money as he can to move communities that are falling into the oceans because they believe Climate Change is a new thing and hasn’t been happening for the last 4.5 Billion Years. Just to name a few things he stands for.

Example of what Mark Begich is supporting by standing up for SB91:

#4. Those funding the smear campaigns are the same ones that don’t want a governor who will enforce the Januce Rule and cut the funding that keeps them dictating in Juneau what all our lives are to be like under the governments thumb and Unions in charge of them.

#5. Mark Begich claims he will be the best choice for Alaskans to make and his record proves that. He makes claims that Mike Dunleavys record shows that he would be the wrong choice for Alaskans to make.

So let’s take a brief glimpse of Marks record Shall we:

#6. How low will Begich go.... this isn’t the first time he has done this.

FACT: EVERY TIME BREE’S LAW CAME UP, DUNLEAVY WAS A YES VOTE!

#7. I would have said this was the lowest he could go. Then I saw #6.

The worst campaign add of 2014 goes to Mark Begich! He has another one that he is running this year that also deserves top Honors #6 for being in the top worst adds. This of course in now against Dunleavy.

“From the Washington Post:

That honor goes to Begich's ad on a murderer named Jerry Active -- a commercial that fundamentally swung the momentum in one of the most critical Senate races in the country. Here's the ad. (And thanks to Charlie Spiering of Breitbart for archiving it on You Tube. It has been erased almost everywhere else on the web.)

In it, Begich attempt to hit former state Attorney General Dan Sullivan (R) for an allegedly lax record on sentencing sex offenders. The ad focuses on one instance in which two grandparents were killed and their two-year-old granddaughter raped by a man named Jerry Active who had been let out of prison on a plea bargain deal for a previous crime. (Active should not have been eligible for probation.)
The ad quickly became very controversial. A lawyer involved in the prosecution of Active insisted that Begich take his ad (and Sullivan's response) down. "The family [of the murder victims] directly and without question has told your campaign they want no part of this," Collins wrote to Begich, adding a quote from his client: "the reason why I want the ad down is because we do not want it to interfere with the trial."

Begich pulled the ad -- but the damage was very much done. Up until that point -- early September -- Begich had been the candidate with the momentum, maintaining a steady polling edge over Sullivan despite the conservative nature of the state. The Active ad ended that momentum. From that point onward, Begich's numbers tumbled while Sullivan's soared. The Associated Press called the race for Sullivan -- the 8th Republican pickup of the cycle -- earlier this week.
Begich might not have won the race anyway; this was a bad year to be a Democrat in any Republican-leaning state. But, by running the Active ad, he wrote his own political epitaph.”

I’m sure if I had the time and could stomach going through all the dirt I uncovered, this list would be near endless.

But I have a life and it’s time to go back to work. 

Worth Sharing over and over again. Top 8 things Begich has had to say.....  Politadick

Both Judge Corey and the Asst. D.A. gave terrible comments at the sentencing, and no thought or words were given to the victim. Only this white man’s loss of a job due to his own actions was being considered as a loss. The Asst. D.A. Stated that the perpetrator gets this “one pass.” A free pass to commit violence against a Native woman. How very familiar this all feels.

The Fault:
The ultimate failing was the Asst. District Attorney and the D.A.’s office. They did a crappy job. Period. They could and should have charged for more, worked with the victim, and NOT spoken up FOR THE DEFENDANT in sentencing.

Fault for this lack of justice also lies with the legislature. The laws about sexual violence in this state are lacking. We know that. We’ve known that. We’ve been testifying, and writing, and speaking about that. The laws are actually now worse.

But Judge Corey absolutely bears responsibility for his role in it. Every defense has a version of “yes he could have done this BUT...” He could have done more. Period. Even if that meant the perpetrator “only” spent a few months in jail or more months on an ankle monitor, he had the power to do more. At the very least it would show he valued the victim’s burden. And he certainly bears the responsibility for his own words at sentencing.

The Problem:
And yet we saw an immediate public defense of the judge, and even the D.A. Those in the political and judicial systems spent a few days batting around responsibility for whose fault it was against the immediate public outcry.

The people most outspoken about this disgusting outcome of our justice system have been the Native Women of Alaska. They are the most affected by this situation and the overall system in which this keeps happening. They also have the least amount of power in this state.

And the people who hold most of the power, primarily white and primarily male, are using that power not to speak up for the victim who did not receive justice, but come to the defense of a judge who has plenty of power in this situation. They are treating the judge as the victim in this.

So here’s what I see:

If you are a powerful statewide media organization, and have not spoken up, or organized on, what can be done to inform on justice for victims, or use your collective voice to support the victim, or talk about what the D.A.’s office could have done, but choose instead to release an editorial signed by your (primarily white and male) board coming to the defense of the judge - you are part of the problem.

If you are a person in the judicial branch, who has special insight into what goes on there, and can inform people about how to better navigate these crimes, inform people on what the D.A. should have done, and talked about what huge changes need to happen to better get justice, but instead chose to use your platform to defend the D.A.’s choices and the judges - you are part of the problem.

If you are a lawmaker who could have, should have done more in every single session you’ve been in to strengthen Alaska’s laws regarding sexual assault crimes, and are absolutely in possession of the knowledge about the lack of safety Alaska Native women have in this state, but chose to only use your platform to vaguely suggest we as a state “all need to do more” - you are part of the problem.

If you have in any way publicly come to the defense of Judge Corey, posted about it, argued for it, wrote an op-Ed about it, but have not first publicly come to the defense of the victim - you are part of the problem.

Let me re-state that so I’m really clear on this:

If you have more quickly come to the defense of a white man who has a ton of power in this state, and have not come to the defense of the Alaska Native female victim who has absolutely no power - You. Are. A. Problem.

I am not surprised that those few in power, or with special knowledge of these systems, who have actually spoken out publicly to defend the victim tend to be women, and/or tend to be people of color.

In all honesty, whether Judge Corey keeps his job or not, I don’t have much value tied up in that. He’s definitely a problem, and he deserves to lose his job for it. And yes - the broader statement it will make about how seriously we as a state are willing to take this is enough of a reason.

And you know what? Judge Corey will be just fine. He’ll find another job. He has financial means and political and judicial muscle behind him, and he’s going to be just fine whether he is retained or not.

You know who is not fine right now? The victim. She knows the value of her life in this state with an utmost certainty. And now she also knows with a certainty her attacker is out there, with barely a consequence for what he did, and she could meet him on the street any day.

The Alaska Native Women of this state as a group are also not fine. We’re in danger. Our safety is in danger. Our lives are in danger. We did not need this situation to know how this state values us, but this was a piercing reminder. And every time we see you defending the men in power over the women who are in danger, we know we are no closer to being safe.

This is a problem. It’s a severe, life-threatening problem to tens of thousands of women in your state.

You have a role in this problem. 
You can be part of the solution. 
You can be part of the problem. 
You have only those two choices.

You are choosing right now.
