#CorporateDemocrats Falsely Claim Medicare for All Is ‘Unpopular’

This and other idiocy of the elites shows why the Democratic Establishment hasn’t learned a damn thing from losing to #Trump—not once, but twice.

This week began with the release of a report titled “Deciding to Win,” claiming to light the way “toward a common sense renewal of the #DemocraticParty.”

But the first mention of #healthcare is so far from reality that the authors might have more accurately titled their report “Deciding to Lie.” The report declares that Medicare for All is in the category of “unpopular economic policies.” The claim is false. But it’s in sync with the corporate sensibilities and wishful thinking of party operatives like James Carville, whose praise of the document appears on its first page.

The Best Way to Eradicate Poverty: Welfare Not Jobs

Poverty mainly afflicts nonworkers and the welfare state is the solution.

This is a very good short read:

> The remedy is straightforward: decommercialized national health insurance: a single, public insurance plan that covers everyone, financed through progressive taxes, with no copayments or deductibles.

One small note: taxes are not required for spending; ie, let's avoid the "How are you going to pay for it?" question. #MMT

The U.S. experiment with profit-driven health care has failed

“The market competition, managed care, and ‘corporate efficiency’ that economists prescribed as the cure for health care inflation instead accelerated it.”

It’s open enrollment time at work. Sigh. Let’s see what the damage is this year. #MedicareForAll

The #NoKings protests were great. 7 million people attended. But if we don't question the system and demand real change, #Trump will continue to win. Or we'll win for four or eight years and the GOP will regain control. We need #BasicIncome, #MedicareForAll, strong unions, and a #GreenNewDeal.

Joe Rogan: "The problem is that these pharmaceutical drug companies are f*cking insanely entirely corrupt. They've been corrupt for a long time, and there's a revolving door between the FDA and these pharmaceutical drug corporations." Be our guest, Joe. Join the movement for #MedicareForAll.

#JoeBiden is a piece of shit.

The fucker said he'd veto #MedicareForAll if it ever hit his desk because it "wouldn't be fair" to his dead son.
