You remember when republicans were talking about death tribunals set up by democrats via the healthcare system? Projections all the way. They do not even give you healthcare to implement a death tribunal. The republican way of cruelty.

My only hesitation with Medicare for all is that these fucks exist.

Everyone deserves that at the very least. Everyone. If one is oppressed; none is free, and all that.

Agreed. Medicare for all is necessary and the minimum.

Doesn’t mean I’m not eying them and wondering what they’re gonna try to do to it. (I mean, look at what they do to every other program- snap, education, etc)

Time to post this:

Frame Canada: Wendell Potter spent decades scaring Americans. About Canada. He worked for the health insurance industry, and he knew that if Americans understood Canadian-style health care, they might.... like it. So he helped deploy an industry playbook for protecting the health insurance agency. https://www.npr.org/2020/10/19/925354134/frame-canada

It's amazing how patriotism blinds people. Many Americans honestly think they have an OK system, despite expat family members explaining clearly how bad the US health care system is.

I understand not believing some politician speaking on TV, but the denial is far stronger than that.

They just forgot to mention they'd be running the tribunals. Could happen to anyone!
