This is for all the Bernie followers, progressive’s, DSA, Justice Democratic’s. Everyone out there who fought as hard as they could, and donated more then they should, to save America and our own lives. To maintain a government we thought we had.
If we, in 2016 stuck to our guns and fought for Medicare for all. Even so far as working With the Trump administration, to encourage them to go in that direction. yes it would have made him look good, but we would have gained power, and helped the people. We didn’t we held out for, four more agonizing years❗️So The Democrats could get credit? just that one issue; we would’ve come in with some sort of power, and saved millions of lives we would’ve raised millions of peoples pay, and we would’ve shut down the control that insurance and pharmaceutical companies have over our government.
Today December 20, 2021 the only hope for the tax payer’s in America (yes tax payer’s because we don’t all pay taxes) is a full out demand for Medicare for all❗️No other add on’s, no more what about’s, MEDICARE FOR ALL❣️
We’ve been fighting for too many things at once and watering down our message or no clear messaging at all. Medicare for all benefits everyone, by improving their health, and the healthcare system. which is horrible right now. we’re losing future doctors and nurse in every graduating class. The for profit system didn’t even have masks or supplies in the hospitals, they’ve been a dismal failure. Finally passing this legislation will wipe out a lot of the insurance company and pharmaceutical control issues we have in this country. A bit on that; The insurance companies profits are generated from illness and medical emergencies⁉️ I’m old enough to remember that originally insurance was, what you paid into, so you could get help when paying for healthcare. I don’t know when and how it became another line on the bill.
“This is important to understand” if I pay $600 or more a month out of my meager pay for healthcare, This is what I get; I work an hourly wage job, and I become sick or even have a minor injury, the cost to go to the doctor if I can get in and know which Dr. is “allowable” I then need to consider the co-pay $$ if by chance I can pull this off, there’s the added cost of getting there, loosing work, and there for my Insurance contribution, for how ever long I’m sick. Let’s look at this from both sides though; you have the insurance company, great businessman that they are. they have us pay into their insurance faithfully but when we need it? We are no longer covered because we’re out of work!? we saw this in real time during the pandemic.
We all know that we are all out of time, not just for the planet but for the people of America. Even those of us who aren’t sick or dying, who aren’t homeless or suicidal we are all out of time. As for the Congress and the Senate nothing is getting done and hasn’t for way to many years now! the progressives and few people fighting for the people in our government need to “shut it all down,” and take a stand❣️until you get this very important, one ask. This is the very least our government and you can do. This work stoppage is for the Congress and Senate so they cannot pass anything until Medicare for all is passed and don’t pretend it’s complicated it’s the same medical coverage you all have had, and have for your lifetime. Keep putting it up for the vote. Don’t change or as you say tweak the wording don’t falter on this commitment‼️
