When they say Medicare for All, people have to understand this: Medicare for All is not as good a benefit to Big Insurance and Big Pharma as the Affordable Care Act."

Fixed.

The current working assumption appears to be that our Shroedinger's Cat system is still alive. But what if we all suspect it's not, and the real problem is we just can't bring ourselves to open the box?

those darn Russians did it.

now, power is power and abuse of power is not a matter of gender. Powerful women to me are as dangerous as powerful men. So there is my answer to what I saw when clicking on the powerful women video.

My suggested title is in honor of the Ingrid Bergman movie "Gaslight", which gave rise to the term "gaslighting" to describe a form of malicious, deliberate crazy-making.

That's what Pelosi is trying to do here: make the American people believe that what we're experiencing isn't really what we're experiencing.

"The American people have to understand that Medicare isn't all that good. The ACA is better."

That's a pile of BS, and the American people know that it's BS.

As if Pelosi will ever have to negotiate M4A or ACA.

Her health care is gold plated, with nary a whisper of paperwork.

"America: The Land of the Unfree and the Home of the Broke"

People like Pelosi are exactly why we cannot have what every other developed country in the world has, a secure healthcare system when people do not have to go broke due to medical bills. A bunch of very wealthy millionaires who run this country have absolutely zero intent to pursue policies that benefit the American people. They got theirs and they have to continue to keep those lobbyist dollars flowing into their coffers.

When the topic of “socializing” healthcare comes up in a public debate I often hear politician refer to the Canadian system, but I never hear reference to the healthcare system of Israel. There isn’t a country that receives more money from the U.S. and I don’t see anyone pointing to them and saying what a failure is “socialism.”

The Israeli healthcare system is based on the National Health Insurance Law of 1995, which mandates all citizens resident in the country to join one of four official health insurance organizations, known as Kupat Holim (קופת חולים – “Sick Funds”) which are run as not-for-profit organizations and are prohibited by law from denying any Israeli resident membership

Pelosi Produces Another Pile

I like alliteration, and find Nancy full of it as usual.

How do you know the dims don't care about people? Pelosi and Schummer are an obvious answer.
