1. The very fact that this is even considered as remotely possible

shows how little we deserve universal health care. "Hey! You know that prohibitively costly set of premiums that NOBODY FUCKING LIKES from their beloved health care provider? Yea. We're going to increase those costs. Make sure to increase your love for your health insurance company accordingly!" We suck.

3. Thank you for saying that because we should never forget their absurd asinine lies used

to keep profits over human life.

2. R' will immediately blame D's that are soon to be in Office

It will be like C-19 never happened as try tell it.

4. Yep. No doubt, that is all they ever do.

5. We've needed universal healthcare since Truman. It's no different now.

Disgusting. Healthcare for profit is suffocating us all. Politicians who can’t see our nation with care without financial stress are short of vision.

6. +1. We are going to win this fight, we must win it.

[Progressive Jones]

7. Absolutely! Never back down on this. This is necessary from here on out. nt

8. I truly believe we can do this.

9. Public Assumes The Risk

Insurance companies assume the benefits.
But, they hate socialism.
Another example of non value added layers of profit taking, going sideways.
Their risk models don't include the impact of an epidemic? Fire the execs!

10. +1. Its all about their control over legislators who write their free ticket to those profits.

It has to end.

11. Stop paying them.

Get the help, when the bill comes, tell them that you aren't paying them because, well, quite frankly, that they are an unacceptable risk and therefore, you will not authorize them or accept their claims.

Break them, this would be the best time to do so.
