“it seems a bit surreal but necessary, nonetheless, to come here to the Senate floor to talk about the perils of socialism and its sudden resurgence within the Democratic Party. We have seen our Democratic friends push for policies like Medicare for All, which would completely wreck the system that provides healthcare for our seniors and force all Americans onto the same plan, regardless of the fact that they never paid anything into it, like our seniors have, and regardless of the fact that they may indeed like their private health insurance that they get from their employers. Do you remember when the Obama administration promised in 2013, ``If you like your plan, you can keep it''? Well, I don't really think they meant it, but that is at least what they said. Democrats have gotten so much more radical today that their motto should be, ``If you like your plan, you can't keep it under Medicare for All.'' They have also promised things like free college--and, believe me, ``free'' is popular, especially if you don't think you are ever going to have to end up paying for it--promising anyone and everyone that they can go to college for free.…”
