Gadfly:
Certainly a waste of time by our politicians to debate this [Medicare for All] in Bethlehem City Council.
What do Councilmen Reynolds & Colon know about what is best for employers in Bethlehem as alleged?
Is Councilman Reynolds prepared to pay substantially more for his insurance than he pays now in order to get rationed healthcare as doctors & hospitals close based upon 100% Medicare rates?
We have a vibrant health care insurance market where businesses like ours [Hotel Bethlehem] have been able to manage our healthcare cost & give great options for benefits to our employees.
The competitive marketplace works here in Bethlehem for employers & employees.
Council needs to spend more time holding the city to enforcement of their ordinances instead of debating stuff out of their knowledge base or control.
