RECEIPTS, NOT LABELS: Last week the assignment was simple: give voters something to vote FOR. Here's what that looks like on healthcare for Rogers. Show, don't tell, as a friend of mine likes to say.
She's 25. Grand Rapids. Two jobs. No insurance this year, because rent won.
Then she hears Abdul El-Sayed's pitch: no premiums, no deductibles, no copays. If you're her, that sounds like rescue.
Now the fine print. He wrote the book on Medicare for All. Literally. Bernie Sanders wrote the foreword. "We don't really need private health insurance in this country." His words, on his own podcast. His plan outlaws private coverage for anything it covers.
Price tag? North of $30 TRILLION in the first decade. More than $20,000 per household, every single year, in new government spending. And she pays it at 25, at 35, at 45, at 55. Every check. Every raise. No opt-out. No cheaper option allowed for her.
That's what "free" costs her.
Now the second future. Here's what Mike Rogers could do for her:
Real prices, posted, so she can shop for care.
A catastrophic plan, legal at every age, so a broken leg doesn't break her.
A doctor for gym-membership money, paid with pre-tax HSA dollars.
And break the pharmacy middlemen marking up her prescriptions.
Abdul’s plan: her choices outlawed and a lifetime slice of every paycheck. Mike’s lane: her money, her choices, her control.
In November, she picks which future. Somebody has to show her the second one exists.
Nobody needs a label. No one cares. She needs something to vote FOR.
That's the assignment. It’s not hard folks. And that's what serious about winning in November looks like.
Let's make Michigan safe, normal, and responsible again! 🇺🇸
