The way the entire squad going back *plane emoji* to Congress
I’m actually still super worried about this race, but it’s looking good for her nn
I helped my mom pick a health insurance plan through the marketplace after she lost her job and I was aghast at how fundamentally broken our healthcare system is. If you want decent coverage, you need to pay the equivalent of rent in New York City each month. Otherwise, you'll need to take on a ridiculously high deductible and try to avoid the doctor as much as you can... Very difficult for my mother who has rheumatoid arthritis. And the lowest cost plan still ended up being around $5,000 a year in premiums!!
With millions of Americans unemployed and getting cut off from their employers' health insurance, I just can't fathom how someone thinks the current system works and isn't in support of Medicare for All????
Forcing the schools to open? For what?
Sigh. I know that by posting this late at night, I'm going to wake up to an unsolicited 5,000 word essay.
I think it’s a way for the state to evade its responsibility of taking care of people during crisis. Like, oh you’re all working now so you don’t need government assistance. Maybe the stupidest position this administration has taken.I think this push is happening because the White House knows kids still being at home in the Fall is an irrefutable illustration of this admin’s failure in containing the virus. Part of their strategy is pretending that covid is over, and it’s hard to sell that message to working parents stuck at home with their kids for another school term.
The fact that the Dem primary had 22+ (!) candidates and not one of them besides Sanders supported single-payer healthcare really says it all. A policy supported by a majority of Dems yet only supported by less than 5% of Dems who were running for president? [bktidalwavevoice] that don't make no sense...
So many different nonsense reiterations of the same for-profit healthcare schemes - Medicare X, Medicare For All Who Want It, Medicare For America, "let's give ourselves a longer glidepath so we can get everyone at the table and work it out"...
The fact that not a single candidate pushed even just banning duplicative primary care while saying we'll get to dental/vision down the road like Canada is because they were just that too bought out by the insurance companies to even make that small yet strategic of a compromise....
The smug media class elites now claiming to be fine with M4A as an eventual progressive goal for Democrats down the line now that they worked overtime to take out the only politician who would have realistically put his life on the line to make it happen as president...
I can't wait to one day beat the shit out of Pete Buttigieg in the gays-only section of Hell.
