Everybody talks about how #singlePayer would eliminate the wasted money sucked out of #healthcare by insurance companies. That misses a more important point.
If the government is going to be paying for your healthcare no matter what, then they want to keep you healthy, because healthcare costs are lower for healthy people.
An insurance company, on the other hand, can just bet on you losing your insurance because you're sick and can't work or afford it, and then you're no longer their problem.

#Trump Trashes ‘Big, Fat, Rich #Insurance Companies.’ Progressives: ‘Wait Until We Tell You About Medicare for All’
“If we had #MedicareForAll everyone would have #healthcare with no premiums, deductibles or co-payments and we’d save $650 billion and 68,000 lives a year.”

RE
We COULD have had a #singlepayer system back in 2009 if it wasn't for 2-3 fucking senators who had received millions and millions from the #healthcareindustry
#ACA
One way is to force #NorthDakota and #SouthDakota to become Dakota (-2 #RepublicanSenators)
Ask, #PortoRico to become a State (2 Dem Senators)
@captainrob @pattykimura @SeanCasten We know "ACA is not #singlepayer.", it's a Republican plan from the 1990s in response to proposed single payer, that no Republican voted for in the 21st century.
@pattykimura @SeanCasten Modern Monetary Theory #MMT says taxes don't pay for anything. If the government wants to fund something it just funds it.
ACA is not #singlepayer. It's mandated profits to private insurance companies.
@rbreich Audacity / hope / change / yes-we-can Obama sold US out in 2009-10,😡 didn't fight hard enough for public option, never mind single-payer.😡ACA further enabled insurance mafia extortion, infrastructure.😡 Former Sen. Tom Harkin: Dems "…had a huge majority in the House… 60 votes in the Senate… we blew it…"

"Several Latin American jurists had by [1940] made the point that the liberal right to life was indistinguishable from the social right to health care."
I never heard it put that way before. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Abdul literally wrote the book on Medicare for All. And there is no one more passionate about the cause of guaranteed healthcare for every single American because no one should have to choose between getting the care they need or going into debt in the richest, most powerful country in the world.
The judge ruled to dismiss both terrorism charges -- murder in the first degree in furtherance of an act of terrorism and murder in the second degree as a crime of terrorism -- writing they were "legally insufficient."
"There was no evidence presented of a desire to terrorize the public, inspire widespread fear, engage in a broader campaign of violence, or to conspire with organized terrorist groups," Carro wrote. "Here, the crime - the heinous, but targeted and discrete killing of one person -- is very different from the examples of terrorism set forth in the statute."

A Blueprint for Better Care and Lower Costs
Physicians for a National Health Program, September 2, 2025
Abdul El-Sayed DESTROYS #AIPAC Talking Points
Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, physician, former Detroit health commissioner, and candidate for U.S. Senate in Michigan, joins Current Affairs editors Nathan J. Robinson and Alex Skopic to discuss the Democratic Party’s deep unpopularity, why Medicare for All remains a moral and economic imperative, the bipartisan silence surrounding the genocide in Gaza, and why all U.S. military aid—offensive and defensive—should end.
This moment calls for organizing, action, and solidarity. Join us in our nation’s capital Nov. 1-3 as we build the movement to win #SinglePayer #MedicareForAll. Learn more, and register: pnhp.org/meeting
Not surprising but outrageous. We need single payer healthcare now! UnitedHealthcare raises rates 66%. Aetna abandons insurance altogether.

They act like every job comes with healthcare or pays enough for you to afford it yourself. Why does nobody push back in these interviews with this? #singlepayer #medicareforall https://www.threads.com/@aaron.rupar/post/DLitzlqJHCh

The #GOP #health plan is to just quietly die. The Dems have fancy language about privatized #insurance that means people still die, or if lucky, end up in lifelong #debt. A civilized society would guarantee universal #healthcare for all, starting with a national #singlepayer system.
