Draft Democratic party platform commits to ‘affordable, comprehensive health care’ for all.»

Today, the 186-member Democratic platform committee put together a draft document “united behind a commitment that every American man, woman and child be guaranteed to have affordable, comprehensive health care.” Other highlights of the platform — which will be adopted at the Democratic convention later this month — are “complete redeployment within 16 months” from Iraq, closure of the Guantanamo Bay detention facility, and “tough, practical, and humane immigration reform in the first year of the next administration.”

1. And while we are at it...

Let's get rid of the excreble RealID and cut DHS and ICE down a few notches. Kinda slap the piss and vinegar out of them, more than a little. Get rid of that horrifying I-9 form, too.

2. Can we just call it Medicare for all? People can relate to that as an existing program.

And only the biggest haters oppose Medicare.
