On Thursday, The Gateway Pundit posted an article about one of the problems with free healthcare for everyone–eventually someone has to pay for it.

The article reports:

In the coming months, we are going to hear a lot of Democrats talking about ‘Medicare for all.’ This is one of their top issues. Bernie Sanders has been talking about it for years and the left thinks their moment has finally arrived.

Unfortunately for them, there are plenty of examples of why this doesn’t work and would actually be a disaster.

In Colorado, Governor Jared Polis was hailed by the left for offering ‘free’ healthcare to illegal immigrants back in 2022. He is now admitting that the program is unsustainable and is recommending hundreds of millions in cuts.

The article quotes The Washington Free Beacon:

Colorado Gov Moves To Gut Health Care Coverage for Illegal Immigrant Children Amid Spiraling Medicaid Costs

Colorado Democrats and immigration activists cheered after Gov. Jared Polis (D.) signed a signature 2022 health care law providing coverage to children and “pregnant persons” living in the United States illegally. Four years later, Polis, now a lame duck, is calling to gut the Cover All Coloradans program in his final budget proposal in an attempt to address the state’s spiraling Medicaid costs, and left-wing groups aren’t happy.

Polis released his budget on the eve of the midterm elections—one day after the legally mandated deadline to do so—and proposed $600 million in state Medicaid cuts. He called Medicaid’s growth “unsustainable” and told reporters it was on track to “crowd out everything else, including education.”

As Margaret Thatcher once said, “The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money.”
