Because we are failing our youth. We are not giving people a sense of belonging in schools, churches, and communities. We are not strengthening our broken families by building strong unions and creating a #BasicIncome safety net along with #MedicareForAll. If we don't give everybody a place where they belong, the gangs, drug dealers, and criminals will do it for us, enabled by the NRA. https://benitolink.com/bl-special-report-why-do-young-people-in-san-benito-county-join-gangs/

No, the United States of America is not number one in healthcare, and we have the numbers to prove it.

Cuba, who we have placed sanctions on for 60 years, has a higher life expectancy than the United States.
Why?
Healthcare.

The #ACA / #Obamacare is a popular but not overwhelmingly popular system (60% popularity). It left a lot of the problems with the #private, #forprofit #US #medical system intact and is vulnerable to #farright attacks.
Only 8% of #Democrats oppose #MedicareForAll, yet no Dem politicians pursue it. Ask why.
Reminder: This was the #RonaldReagan #Healthcare Plan made by the #Heritage Foundation who would then make #Project2025!
We've been shortchanging people with low incomes for years. We need to raise taxes on the rich so that they pay their fair share and then pay people a #BasicIncome, implement #MedicareForAll, raise the federal minimum wage to $15/hour, pass a #GreenNewDeal, and work our way towards a #Solarpunk future. https://www.clasp.org/press-room/press-releases/continuing-resolution-shortchanges-people-with-low-incomes/?utm_campaign=rfc&utm_medium=email&utm_source=ea&emci=a05896ed-9f05-f011-90cd-0022482a9fb7&emdi=a5646595-b705-f011-90cd-0022482a9fb7&ceid=27860625

Despite all that, I have no idea which plan to choose. Last year's plan left us with surprise out of pocket expenses, even though I had carefully reviewed all of the plan's details.
This was an expensive HMO plan (anything other than a managed care plan is way out of reach) that should have been fine.
It wasn't.
If I can't sort through this w/all the knowledge & privilege I have, then who can?
Health ins in the U.S is a cluster fuck.
We need #singlePayor or #MedicareForAll

Well you're vote for the Undemocratic candidate, who's never supported #MedicareForAll, which was clearly obvious, was kinda stupid honestly.

The problem is affordability. It's too bad the Republican Party doesn't support giving people a #BasicIncome and #MedicareForAll so that this issue would be moot. This bill shows the real motivations of the GOP -- find ever increasing ways of harassing people from bill collectors. #Alabama https://alabamareflector.com/2025/02/20/alabama-house-committee-oks-bill-allowing-medicaid-to-sue-parents-over-health-insurance/

Hey, #DOGE cost-cutters,
1) immediately cut #Pentagon military industrial complex budget by 50% until they can pass at least two audits
2) get rid of greedy health insurance mafia parasite extortion, crazy overhead, pharma kickbacks, etc.: outlaw fake #MedicareAdvantage, then pass single-payer #MedicareForAll universal health coverage for everyone else

#DonaldTrump is just giving lead with this rhetoric, which in all honesty is all rhetoric! #Words aren't #Action, they are merely words.
No fucking wonder #Liberals kept floating that #BarackObama is great & the most #Progressive President in the world when he ran on #MedicareForAll / #SinglePayer #Healthcare but gave a #Republican Healthcare Plan from the same foundation of #Project2025, the #HeritageFoundation, while getting us involved in more conflicts of #war!
