This is what white supremacy AND anti-Blackness looks like…so I’ll say this AGAIN…don’t tell me shit about the how “progressive” Medicare 4 All is WITHOUT sharing an accompanying strategy that addresses MEDICAL RACISM

Also further proof that the conversation around, and the overturning of, Roe v Wade has ALWAYS been about preserving white birth rates

@KimCrayton1 A Black appearing mixed race friend was denied appropriate medical care because ER doctors decided they were lying, and you are of course right, M4A won't fix that. But part of unequal treatment is that POC are more likely to have jobs that don't provide medical insurance, or are pushed into crappy fake insurance plans. So M4A is needed to fix that part. It is necessary. It just isn't sufficient.

@not2b if M4A doesn’t address this out the gate then it will NOT fix any of the issues that are important to you…we have NO data to back up what you’re suggesting…once policies, procedures, processes, and norms are set, going back to “insert” them or “fix” them later is just not a thing we’ve ever successfully done

So you can have your M4A but don’t expect it to do ANYTHING but replicate existing harm if these issues aren’t apart of that legislation
