Man, I am sick of the "how are we going to pay for it" health care argument. We spend over 18% of our national GDP on health care. In other words, for every dollar that is spent in the US, 20 cents is for health care. In return we are: 31st in life expectancy (just behind Costa Rico) 35th in infant mortality Have obesity rates of 33% Anything has to be cheaper (and better) than the dumpster fire of a health care system we have now. Being poor and sick is to be sentenced to constant pain and early death. We don't even do that to our worst criminals - it borders on the barbaric. Done ranting.
@@williamkrause5831 Yes. Like FDR who won 4 times. Then Truman 2 terms after on the New Deal. Eisenhower also publicly endorsed New Deal policy. Then Kennedy.
I really hope she wins, she is a smart person, that has the right platform. She also has the strength, and courage to make some real change, and I have never watched Sex and the City.
are u kidding? shes just playing race and gender cards. thats all she ever says. its the lowest common denominator. vote Cuomo, no more hollywood aholes
Nixon is actually somewhere between 23-29 points behind, not 30 ... and if you look at earlier polls she was down close to 50 pts so she's already gained slightly more than half the ground she needed to gain. Gillum gained most of his ground in the final two weeks of the primary race in Fla. This is do-able folks. Vote Nixon!!
Pierre ... that poll is a month old, another poll also a month old shows her with slightly stronger numbers... but looking at polls further back you will see cuomo has lost ground in every successive poll ... my guess is she's probably closer to 20 pts down or less and hopefully they'll be some newer and better polling done before the primary election
Tbh as a first time candidate it is more likely she won't get quite enough votes to win but, even if she doesn't win, she is another example of the sort of politics and values that a significant % of Dem voters want, so the party might finally take notice and reform.
Polling can be wildly inaccurate when it comes to progressive candidates. This is because pollsters only poll "likely voters" and progressives, if they can get their message and name out there, tend to draw out "unlikely voters". Cynthia Nixon has more than accomplished this. Even if she's 15 points behind in the polls the day before the election, she'll _trounce_ Cuomo just like Gillum trounced what's her face in Florida even though _he_ was down in the polls.
I am so sick of the idiotic "how do we pay for it" response to universal health care. Every other industrialized county does it How about the Congress refusing to let Medicare bargain for drug pricing? What about the total hypocrisy of idolizing our military veterans and not having the political will to actually support them?
Timothy Dingman I live in the U.K. with the NHS. Our tax burdens are huge and our quality of healthcare is low with high waiting times. I waited 7 months for a dermatology appointment (which took 20 minutes). Please, listen to me, as someone who lives under this system
ferox965 Waiting times in Canada and the U.K. are actually around the same. It’s around 100 days for a specialist appointment. The average waiting time for a specialist appointment in the US is only a few days. Here’s a question for you though, as a Canadian citizen. What services do you get access to under your government medical insurance scheme? And what don’t you have access to. I think it works differently from the U.K.
@@MRAROCKERDUDE I have never waited longer than two weeks for anything in Ontario. Broken arm, Ileostomy (2 month coma, three operations died on the table three times in 1999) 3 hernia operations (two of those were only six weeks apart), 4 lythotripsies, broken foot..various appointments for diabetes and ulcerative colitis....the longest I waited for anything was less than 3 weeks. I wasn't refused a thing. Only things that cost money were my room TVs, and parking. No bills from the hospital...as far as private insurance goes, I can't answer that due to my medical history...we do pay for meds here
Come on New Yorkers! As Nina Turner will say "The cause it's right and the time it's now" stand up and fight back, go and vote for a progressive! make us all proud, Can you imagine the establishment tears?? :D :D
slightly higher taxes beats having to pay $8000 - $15,000 a year in for-profit costs, and that doesn't include the tens of thousands that get added if you end up in the ER or in a ambulance wouldn't it be nicer to just pay a few hundred more at the beginning of the year and not have to worry about it? why are people fighting this basic fundamental need?
KyleQuest NY as the fourth largest state is. Our single payer plan has passed the Assembly repeatedly and will save New Yorkers $300 billion annually thank you very much!
+Jeremy Barlow no state, no matter the size, should be funding healthcare. It ALL should be funded by the Federal government because states are end user's of currency and not the currency creator as the Federal government is. If there was some form of a catastrophe, a natural disaster, and/or an outbreak it would easily overwhelm state funds.

Thank you very much!
@@kylequest So if, as you say, the government can never run out of money, then why does the question "how are we gonna pay for it" come up so much? And should we wait until Republicans and corporate democrats alike no longer have a voice in Congress before pursuing universal healthcare? Because that's the only way to get it done on the federal level. If the states can do it on their they should. No natural disaster will hit 4 noncontiguous at the same time so they can either pay into a fund for this instance or loan each other the funds. There is no reason that states should not pursue this if the federal government is unwilling
This is a real fighter for the people! She's calling out his corruption and going hard against him and the establishment. I really wish I could vote for her and I do hope she absolutely pulverizes him on election night.
@@2085batman I asked about experience not policy. No job has ever hired me based on what I say. They ask for experience. It is not unreasonable to ask for experience especially from someone in hollywood
@Hazzycakes I hate to use hillary Clinton as an example but it's called working your way up. She was first lady of Arkansas then the u.s. Then she ran for senator then president. Sanders is a progressive with experience that worked is way up. Obama worked his way up. He had experience doing other things before running for president. There is nothing wrong with asking about experience like any of us would be asked if we filled out a job application.
The only Nixon that America needs, although to be fair Richard did improve healthcare, started the EPA, ended the draft and withdrew all the ground troops from the Vietnam clusterfuck that Johnson created.
I watch David Hogg (March for our Lives, Parkland survivor) was on Morning Joe and he said what the majority of new & young voters would not vote for wealthy candidates they see them as the cause of the problem and init for there own gain, but the biggest issue when choosing a candidate is their stance on gun control and second is progressiveness!!!
She failed to do what she needed to do: convince upstate/central/western NY to vote for her. She spoke too much about funneling more money to large spending projects in NYC. No one outside of NYC and Long Island will vote for her due to the very high taxes in NY and the fear that taxes will be raised for spending in NYC. Even Democrats in NYS feel they are overtaxed.
They are BURNING US ALLLL ON..PROPERTY TAXES!!!..... SO GIVE HER!!!! A CHANCE!🙏...She WILL ! Do right by us all !!!! We have nothing to lose giving.... NEW!!! Political BLOOD! at lease a chance😩...VOTE... C.N.!!! 👍👍
At this point, if you ask how we're going to pay for it, you only demonstrate that you ought not be in control of any of the decision making around issues like universal healthcare; because by now, only two things are true: you're grossly uninformed and unwilling to get the proper information despite your wealth of resources, or you're corrupt.
You might want to watch it again, Cuomo was patient like Hillary, smiled too... Cynthia Nixon transformed into Debate Angry Donald Trump, snorting, hissing and basically saying "WRONG" every chance she got... Constantly interrupting, she was very unprofessional. If she wins, New York will have a republican governor next year. Lovely.
No he's not. I love Cynthia Nixon but she's got a snowball's chance in hell. Coumo's one of those entrenched, borderline aristocratic politicians who will die in office.
Read this for the first time everyone. I'm a middle class Canadian and pay about 23% total income taxes as all middle class Canadians do. Where is the 70% in taxes Republicans say you have to pay if you get free health care? Total BS. How do Canadians get free health care, single payer health care paying only 23% total income tax? We don't waste our money on servicing the debt with interest, overpaying the military, wasting money on needless incarceration, overpaying insurance companies and drug companies etc. In October 2018, we will have many billions more in revenue from the sale of legal marijuana where we will be the first major country to legalize pot nationally. If America really wanted to invest in the future and its people, it would spend money more wisely but we know corrupt big money has bribed/lobbied politicians in Washington to ignore the average American and only give tax breaks to the rich. The right always talk about "socialism" and how the country is going to become bankrupt with the people having less with a poorer way of life...How ironic it is that with democratic socialism people are far richer, healthier, happier, more educated, more free, more democratic, and less hating of their government than Americans. 40% of people do not live in poverty in democratic socialism. 40% of Americans live in poverty below the $20,000/year income line. Do you think that's a successful country? American Capitalism is failing and you only have to look at income inequality and the election of Trump to clearly see it. Bernie started this new wave, the New Deal which is coming to Americans soon. Things are moving in the right direction and the majority of Americans now support most of Bernie's policies. The mainstream media sees a blue wave coming in the upcoming November 2018 election but it has no idea what's coming in 2020 as it either doesn't have its ear to the ground or more accurately, it is ignoring what its corporate owners don't want it to hear and report: Bernie is going to win the nomination easily and then roll over Trump in a landslide..The reason is easy to see now. Bernie is the most popular politician in America and his weakest demographic from 2016, black voters is now his strongest with a support rate of 80%. Wow. A Bernie landslide is coming.
The people who tell em she's unqualified because she's 'only an actress' can't tell me why Cuomo was qualified since he was 'only a Governor's son'. My favorite moment was when he was trying to say she had asked for a favor, and she explained that it was a favor, not for herself, but for those who attend the Shakespeare in the Park programs. After all, how can you enjoy The Bard's work if you can''t hear it?
Why isn’t the response to ‘how will we pay for single payer system?’ “We already do and then some, in insurance premiums, deductibles, insurance deathpanels,...”
She has no experience. He’s actually trying to govern and do his job while she is coming up with this stuff. She talks about helping the homeless, putting away criminals, and governing effectively. Well, excuse me, but he actually worked on these issues as the Attorney General of New York, the Secretary of HUD, and the Governor. She was off playing Miranda Hobbes on Sex and the City while he was actually dealing with all these issues. How is she in any way qualified to be Governor? She is another entertainer, like Trump, who is putting on a big show but has no real experience and does not know what she is doing or what she is actually talking about.
Big B she’s done her homework, research and has mapped out her plan to get things done-and been open about what she plans to do. Every candidate should have to be so transparent!
The sign language interpreter was necessary. As a hearing person that also needs closer captions, television captions are inaccurate when important information is being spoken at least 80% of the time. Entire paragraphs get lost and if I couldn't hear, I wouldn't know what had be said. I believe the software used is not infallible.
Increasing corporate taxes, negative gearing, bank taxes... reducing ridiculous military spending, owning some of America's resources... there's plenty of ways to pay for it
I no longer live in the State of New York. During my personal tenure in New York, I had to deal with many New York State agencies; Sales Tax, Payroll Tax, Business registration, etc.(In multiple calls to the various agencies, the person answering the calls knew little or practically nothing about the subject matter) If you have never dealt with bureaucrats, you are in for a treat. Unless the SYSTEM is revamped, Cynthia Nixon's dream of single payer will not work. Once New York State (Albany) gets hold of those funds they are going to be squandered and practically nothing will get done. Don't underestimate the power of those bureaucrats that run New York State Government.
It's pretty shitty in the way of journalistic standards to not even include Cuomo's response. Especially if I was supposed to be an academic in the field...
While I have no love for political dynasties like Bush's or Cuomo's. Nixon's was an easy position of attacking. She dodged many questions that were directed at her. She also acted Trump like with exaggerated facial expressions while he was speaking and constantly interrupting made it seem as if she has a low level of self control. If any of you remember Trump debates he did the same thing to Hilary. Again while I have zero love of political dynasties New York is the only state where tuition is free for the middle class as of 2017. I like Nixon and wish her luck in taking over new York state. Unfortunately TYT isn't doing her a favor by pretending she was perfect. I'd love to see her in office but lying to her and her supporters on how well she's doing is counter productive (self deception is dangerous). Help her by being honest on strengths she should keep and weaknesses where she could improve. Ok let the attacks on me begin.
I want her to decriminalize weed.... go down park ave on any given night! it smells like you entered a ganja farm where the workers are smoking on their supply... but then go to Harlem or the projects.... can't get away with that stuff.
We have two conservative parties in this country. Republicans and Democrats. Theres no political party that can represent most of us. I am glad we see these people representing us and raising our voice.
A German Newspaper posted yesterday, how weak she was at the debate, titled: She just want to pay for everything. You see the different between media outlets. And that's a German Newspaper.
New Yorkers, if you like poor and expensive housing, low wages, crumbling subway, and tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy then continue to vote for Cuomo. For those that want to take a different path and get something back for your tax dollars then vote for Cynthia as Governor.
Anna you make an excellent point. ( Look at my cleavage. )Anna you make an excellent point and ummm (Look at my cleavage in this half a shirt I'm wearing )
The man said America was never great. Whether you agree or not, the Republican nominee is going to play that ad nauseum up to the election and a lot of people will not like that.

Anything has to be cheaper (and better) than the dumpster fire of a health care system we have now. Being poor and sick is to be sentenced to constant pain and early death. We don't even do that to our worst criminals - it borders on the barbaric.
Done ranting.
Okay, so *how are we gonna pay for it?*
You guys have an insanely high military budget. Maybe divert some of these dollars to keep/make your citizen healthy? Just a thought. :)
Increase highest marginal tax rate to 55 percent for anything above 5 million
Or just *start actually collecting taxes* from multimillionaires, billionaires, and corporations. Never mind the nominal tax rate.
not to mention the billions a year dumped into the overseas wars we are in.
I like when they don’t shy away from using the word corruption. Call it out when it’s there.
lol, i have a republican dad and he goes ballistic when you call him out on his bs.
Down with the corporate establishment. Power to progressives!
What do Progressives bring to the table?
The people!
But if that happens, wouldn't progressives become the establishment?
@@williamkrause5831 Yes. Like FDR who won 4 times. Then Truman 2 terms after on the New Deal. Eisenhower also publicly endorsed New Deal policy. Then Kennedy.

My favorite moment was when he was trying to say she had asked for a favor, and she explained that it was a favor, not for herself, but for those who attend the Shakespeare in the Park programs. After all, how can you enjoy The Bard's work if you can''t hear it?
Maytha! Girl, WHAT are you wearing??? 😲
😂😂😂 I was thinking the same thing. Like going to a private beach in Greece. That top is coming off
😲😏😂
PLEASE vote for Nixon so California can stop being the laughingstock of the country. Thank you!
Wait how can New Yorkers actually like cuomo lol
WOW I love her ❤️❤️
Why isn’t the response to ‘how will we pay for single payer system?’ “We already do and then some, in insurance premiums, deductibles, insurance deathpanels,...”
Maytha and Ana looking great! Brains and beauty unbeatable combinations keep the fight we support you all
She has no experience. He’s actually trying to govern and do his job while she is coming up with this stuff. She talks about helping the homeless, putting away criminals, and governing effectively. Well, excuse me, but he actually worked on these issues as the Attorney General of New York, the Secretary of HUD, and the Governor. She was off playing Miranda Hobbes on Sex and the City while he was actually dealing with all these issues. How is she in any way qualified to be Governor? She is another entertainer, like Trump, who is putting on a big show but has no real experience and does not know what she is doing or what she is actually talking about.
Big B she’s done her homework, research and has mapped out her plan to get things done-and been open about what she plans to do. Every candidate should have to be so transparent!
I’m a 19 year old progressive first time voter in the south. I really want their stand on Georgia’s gubernatorial race.
"How will we pay for something overall cheaper???" Worded transparently, it is quite the Odd question.
I'm torn on this election. As much as I agree with Nixon here, I don't like the continuing normalization of celebrities in politics.
so celebrities should not run for office?
Not if they don't know how to get things done or properly manage government. Too many celebrities have a sense of entitlement.
I like someone who call a lying piece of garbage a lyer to his face.
Ever been to jail for grass ?
Tell DeSantis kiss your ass !
- Vote Andrew Gillum 2018 -
Fight back. The time is now
The sign language interpreter was necessary. As a hearing person that also needs closer captions, television captions are inaccurate when important information is being spoken at least 80% of the time. Entire paragraphs get lost and if I couldn't hear, I wouldn't know what had be said. I believe the software used is not infallible.
she says what you want to hear...but does she has experience governing? look at the trump experiment...
Increasing corporate taxes, negative gearing, bank taxes... reducing ridiculous military spending, owning some of America's resources... there's plenty of ways to pay for it
I no longer live in the State of New York. During my personal tenure in New York, I had to deal with many New York State agencies; Sales Tax, Payroll Tax, Business registration, etc.(In multiple calls to the various agencies, the person answering the calls knew little or practically nothing about the subject matter) If you have never dealt with bureaucrats, you are in for a treat. Unless the SYSTEM is revamped, Cynthia Nixon's dream of single payer will not work. Once New York State (Albany) gets hold of those funds they are going to be squandered and practically nothing will get done. Don't underestimate the power of those bureaucrats that run New York State Government.
It's pretty shitty in the way of journalistic standards to not even include Cuomo's response.
Especially if I was supposed to be an academic in the field...
When Cuomo said he'd stop lying when "she did," Nixon should have asked him what, exactly, he's been lying about.
Cynthia is the right choice. Be smart New York and vote for her
Any Democrat who is still asking how we are going to pay for single payer health care deserves to be voted out of office immediately.
ANDREW CUOMO > NIXON !
Nixon is TOO WEAK.
When talking about the subway, Cuomo blamed New York City. I'm sure subway riders will like this blame game going on for years...
After hearing Mark’s voice I just remembered that he’s the the guy who hosted the Guinness World Records Primetime Show on Fox.
While I have no love for political dynasties like Bush's or Cuomo's. Nixon's was an easy position of attacking. She dodged many questions that were directed at her. She also acted Trump like with exaggerated facial expressions while he was speaking and constantly interrupting made it seem as if she has a low level of self control. If any of you remember Trump debates he did the same thing to Hilary. Again while I have zero love of political dynasties New York is the only state where tuition is free for the middle class as of 2017. I like Nixon and wish her luck in taking over new York state. Unfortunately TYT isn't doing her a favor by pretending she was perfect. I'd love to see her in office but lying to her and her supporters on how well she's doing is counter productive (self deception is dangerous). Help her by being honest on strengths she should keep and weaknesses where she could improve. Ok let the attacks on me begin.
I want her to decriminalize weed.... go down park ave on any given night! it smells like you entered a ganja farm where the workers are smoking on their supply... but then go to Harlem or the projects.... can't get away with that stuff.
"How are we going to pay for it?"
Significantly more easily than the established system, which is actively broken.
Please by all means let's all vote for a celebrity with no govt experience to run a high office. Never hurt us before
People's lives are being destroyed and some are only worried about decorum and being ever so polite.
Damn she gave it to him
We have two conservative parties in this country. Republicans and Democrats. Theres no political party that can represent most of us. I am glad we see these people representing us and raising our voice.
I would love to see her win. We need smart people in New York to vote for her and ENOUGH of them.
She answered all the question like a teenager. Actually she barley answered a question.
A German Newspaper posted yesterday, how weak she was at the debate, titled: She just want to pay for everything. You see the different between media outlets. And that's a German Newspaper.
I'm a Trump supporter, a New Yorker (up State) and will most likely vote for Nixon. I like balance in our Gov't. I'm a centrist.
How the F could Cuomo have beaten Nixon. There's no comparison.
Shots fired. Who would have thought Sex in the City was so savage.
New Yorkers, if you like poor and expensive housing, low wages, crumbling subway, and tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy then continue to vote for Cuomo. For those that want to take a different path and get something back for your tax dollars then vote for Cynthia as Governor.
They can pay for single payer the same way THEY paid for tax cuts for the rich.
I loved how she made her points, one by one, smacking Cuomo over the head with them. She's pretty badass and I hope she wins.
How to pay for it?
We hire the best economists, we figure it out, and make it work.
Her campaign slogan needs to be "Cynthia Nixon-No relation"
If he had interrupted her like that y'all be screaming at the top of your lungs that he was a sexiest. Ana is usually full of it
Enough with corporate politicians in with new a fresh faces and new ideas to move America forward.
She has my vote. I could have never guessed in a million years....She played my favorite character!
I like her but in no way did she win in that debate. She seemed a little unprepared but I would still prefer her over Cuomo
Shreds? Did TYT even watch the debate? She gave an embarrassing performance.
It's easy to argue "shreds" when you don't show the other side's responses.
Anna, you make an excellent point. Anna, you make an excellent point. Anna, you make an excellent point. Anna, you make an excellent point.
Anna you make an excellent point. ( Look at my cleavage. )Anna you make an excellent point and ummm (Look at my cleavage in this half a shirt I'm wearing )
You shouldn't be biased, Ana Kasperian.
Vote progressive to better America
Questioning authority and calling out the corporatist?
Winning.
For women to be looked after, women need to be in power
No experience, no vote...
It's really hard to not think about Richard Nixon when I hear Nixon.
ha, so true
NY is going Red because Cynthia Nixon
The man said America was never great. Whether you agree or not, the Republican nominee is going to play that ad nauseum up to the election and a lot of people will not like that.
