This Republican Town Has Medicare For All | The Class Room
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 жов 2024
- Medicare For All exists in America right now....almost. But it's only in one small town. For our Class Room series, we went to Libby, Montana to learn about how this works, and to ask why we can't have universal health care in the rest of the country.

Flint, Michigan should have been granted single payer healthcare years ago, along with thousands of similar high-lead-level and superfund site communities. Healthcare is a human right.
agree! and many americans are unaware of superfund sites, and of course government wants it to stay that way
M4A anything else is criminal
Wasn't Flint, MI where DuPont and 3M manufactured C-8/teflon? Or am I remembering incorrectly...
I lived in Mason, Ingham County seat, Michigan for about 12 years. Long enough to get arsenic poisoning from their overpriced municipal water. The city had boil water notices every year, but never told us why. You can’t boil arsenic out of water anyway!
I agree ALL the residents Flint should get free healthcare for life because no amount of lead is safe!
That was my 1st thought too
I love that Max Baucus has come to Jesus on universal coverage *now* , when he's useless. And it's rich hearing him say that getting to universal coverage is taking longer than he expected. Yeah it's taking longer because HE was there to get in the way back when he actually had that power.
do you really think they were seriously trying to pass universal healthcare? I didn't then and dont think so now. how many ppl in congress have vested stock with big pharma? I figure until another healthcare related cash cow comes along which taps into the universal phenomenon, americans will never get it
@@jusletursoulglobaby Nope. Politicians wait until they can't do anything before they start talking about doing something.
@@kjhuang kind of tragic. Corporations do it to. Exxon Mobil literally calculated percent chance of something passing at a given time beforehand so they didn't accidentally support something against their interests unless there was a very low chance of getting it passed at the time.
For example with a carbon tax, they knows it's a winning position but they know it wouldn't happen right when they supported it so they support it only then
he's not "taking longer."
he just can't profit anymore so he's trying to rehabilitate his legacy.
FIGURE IT OUT.
Exactly. So he suddenly now had an epiphany? Stupid ass.
The thing that kills me is the politicians that are so against what ever you want to call it, single payer, medicare for all, Government run health care. The same politicians benefit from what they are totally against for everyone else. And I'll just bet all the polititions against this are getting big kickbacks from the private insurance company.
*campaign contributions
Kickbacks would be illegal ;-/
Virtually all politicians are liers and actors----they aren't "real" people.
It is infuriating that you interviewed Max Baucus. He was the head of a Senate committee when the possible forms of Obamacare were being debated. Physicians for national health plan and national nurses united had both lobbying hard to have Medicare for all considered. The doctors and nurses were making progress with the members of Congress who are on the healthcare committee. Max baucus ran a committee that had nothing to do with healthcare or human services. I think it was some sort of Tax committee. Despite that he called for hearings on healthcare way before anything was organized. Nursing and medical professors from Harvard University wanted to testify in favor of Medicare for all. Max baucus would not allow any of the medical or nursing professors to testify.
So we ended up getting a for-profit healthcare plan that didn’t cover everyone in the country. And Max Bacchus is the primary person responsible for that. The healthcare industry paid Max a lot of money to get him to run interference for them. Tens of thousands of people have died because of maxes actions. I would not give him any respect at all. And if I were going to report on Medicare for an interview Max box, I would strongly recommend confronting him about blocking Medicare for all back in 2007 & 2008
In their attempt to be heard the doctors and nursing professors stood up to speak in max Balqis is hearing even though it was illegal. They were arrested and hauled away. Medical professors from Harvard and nursing professors from Harvard were arrested for trying to talk about Medicare for all. They were arrested because Max Barchus wanted for-profit healthcare to keep killing people in this country because for-profit healthcare had given him a lot of money. He’s an evil greedy selfish man.
Respectfully disagree. The way I heard it, there were several proposed plans, including one bi-partisan plan put together after weeks of committee deliberations. Obama scrapped them all, in favor of his plan--modeled after Swedish health care. It was a plan that used private insurance, as well as government funding. In Sweden it insures everyone is covered, but it IS expensive. It also doesn't cut out private medicine and insurance. It's de-centralized, so more like private health care we're used to.
I doubt ANY plan would have passed, if it cut profits for the medical industry. Medicare for all, especially if it allows the government to negotiate better prices, will limit profits across the board. Making the government manage the biggest HMO would be a major undertaking. Obama was taking us to health care for all, in baby steps. Unless/until the government is willing to tackle the profits in the industry, we're never going to get affordable health care.
@@cariwaldick4898 THat is incorrect. Max had a supermajority in the Senate. Democrats if they unified at all could have passed anything they wanted. Sweden's healthcare system is primarily public. Private insurance is optional for the very rich and elderly. There is a basic level of care for all people.
The sad part is that if the senator was still in Capitol Hill, he wouldn’t say the same because they are getting paid to oppose it. They have to be away from Washington to come to the common sense solution of having a system similar to m4a.
Baucus was a suck ass senator for Montana. He was a typical republican talking out of both sides of his mouth. I lived in Montana while he was in office. Him getting out of politics was a good thing.
Declare an environmental emergency for the whole county and get M4All and infrastructure improvements- no congressional action required. If the courts are unhappy let them get the egg on THEIR face.
I support it. We need it.
You still need Congress to pass bills to fund those things.
Democrats haven't even tried.
The Squad is a gimmick, they should have withheld their votes to reelect Pelosi unless they got Medicare for all on the floor for a vote.
AOC literally ran on the message that the people need healthcare and avoided the opportunity because it "wasn't the right time".
We were in the middle of a pandemic! If that's not the time to vote on healthcare then when is?!?
If they would have gotten it on the floor and voted it down at people would have started to wake up that neither side cares about you or your family.
Yeah, because money grows on trees. Spend, spend, spend. You're obviously getting your opinions from the Hive.
Yeah, senator, “it’s going to take a lot, a LOT, of time.” In other words, folks, “we’re gonna fight this as long as we can get away with bamboozaling the people.” Just another grifting politician.
I just donated $1250.00 to more perfect union for content like this.
Where do you go to donate?
Thank you 🙏🏽
Its absolutely insane that it took Senator Baucus, a villian with the Wellpoint lobbyist Liz Fowler at his side during the obamacare fiasco, comes full circle with Harry Reid's original pitch of enrolling people early onto Medicare. Wild.
If you want an in depth study of the people and policy that created and ultimately helped the people of Libbey, the book by David McCumber and Andrew Schneider "An Air that Kills" is one of the best. They were the newspaper guys that broke the story in Seattle back around 2000 (yes, 22 years ago!). Lots of intrigue and gov't heroes and villians. Gayla and Les Skramstad should be known as legends.
TLDR; asbestos company poisons town, the little guys win health care afterwards.
thanks for the info!
do you know if a documentary has been made about this? if not, there should be!
I live in Seattle, curious what town were you referring to or was it towns here in Washington.
@@mdj864 yeah, PBS had a POV episode about it.
Your point about the insurance lobbyist is totally on target - crony capitalism is keeping this country sick + broke.
Wow, thanks!
That gave me Goosebumps.
That'll spur more inquiry! 👍
The fact that the US, as a whole, has no universal M4A or single payer is just an embarrassment. Instead we pay the premiums for whatever private insurance wants to charge us.
Who will pay for it? We already are...
I think it's a testament to the american ethos - individualism over everything. if america was worried about how it looks to the outside, loads of social woes wouldnt exist. america isnt really embarrassed about anything.
So why would I want to pay 12% of my salary for crappy healthcare?
@@jusletursoulglobaby Why would we care?
The United States has a 360 million people and serious immigration issues
@@youtubesucks1499 Why would you make up random BS out of thin air?
@@mushroomsteve What's random bs?
Do your research.
We have 360 million people in the USA.
Our borders are being flooded by immigrants. It's being reported by CBS.
The last M4A numbers is you the taxpayer will pay 6-7% out of your paycheck for M4A.
Your employer will match it.
When it comes to your compensation package you will be paid 6-7% less than what your position will pay. Why? Business aren't going to lose that much off their bottom line.
Why are you so uninformed?
Bet the company’s owners still came out with money, and living well off. No owners in jail!
Pay and benefits for politicians should be limited to the benefits availavle to those living on social security and Medicare. Then we will see things improve.
Should be Medicaid for all, not Medicare.. I've never understood why the push for Medicare, as it doesn't cover nearly enough.
It's hard to differentiate between the similar words. I've started to remember it by thinking: MediCARE is when you're old, and they care about you. MedicAID is when you're just sick, and they have to aid you.
@@cariwaldick4898 That is also intentional.
@@erkinalp I see the words used interchangeably, but they're not.
Medicare for All would have better coverage as part of it
@@SandfordSmythe That's an assumption.
your reporter couldn't get an apology from Baucus for being openly against M4A but secretly getting benefits for his own constituents?
I love hearing how people come around to accept socialized medicine
In America folks die due to misinformation, and the propaganda of making it seem that accessible medical care is somehow "UnAmerican".
No thanks.
I agreeI imagine if you only had to pay $1400 every month for insurance! (like Medicare recipients) So awesome! Let's do it!
If you put in the work and make a lot of money you are entitled to spend that money on the best healthcare. You shouldn't have to downgrade to the same doctor that Lateefa and her 7 kids go to to.
@@castlemagic4746 That's easy enough to create a system that would allow for that while still giving healthcare to every American. Just look at the French system.
One of the things that this video talks about is the different parts of Medicare, and how “advantage” plans suck. Most countries that have single payer you have nothing or much less out of pocket.
The "Advantage" supplement plans are also privately run. They're also the parts of Medicare that have the most waste and fraud.
And people in France pay nothing,
no copay, no deductible, nothing.
I've seen the French healthcare system first hand, with my own eyes. The doctor came from the hospital AND MADE A HOUSECALL!!
This needs to be made into a shorter clip - public service announcement - and played on every TV channel, in with the ads for as long as it takes until people insist that their Reps and Senators will pass laws to allow Medicare for all nationwide. Healthcare is a human right! See how many other societal problems would disappear if this was the law of the land!
As long as the politicians are able to have financial support from private corporations, directly and or indirectly, they are and will not look out for the citizens they are supposed to be answering to .
Bingo, that’s it !
government: how about we provide these dying people with medicare, to (hopefully) distract them from suing the crap out of us.
W.R. Grace was a private business in this case. It would have been nice to know if people have cases against W.R. Grace, i can imagine they do.
unless i am missing something, why would these people sue the government for a crime committed by corporate a corporation?
@@Andre-qo5ek yes, the corporation and govt lack of regulating environmental hazards, such as the water in Flint.
@@mdj864
hm ... im not sure you can sue the government for LACK of regulation though.
the whole case is that the company was hiding knowledge of dangerous contamination. that's not a government regulation that's a company doing what companies do, complying with fiduciary responsibilities while covering up their crimes (aka, profits above all else)
as cynically expected, "W.R. Grace Acquitted in Libby, Montana Asbestos Case". with a tiny punishment of "On February 5, 2014, W.R. Grace paid the U.S. government over $63 million to resolve environmental liability claims pursuant to the company's bankruptcy plan of reorganization."
@@Andre-qo5ek maybe i'm wrong, but there could be much to the story that we don't know. govt has secretly worked with corporations to hide information which kills people such as glyphosate and PFOAs and PFAS, and is then sued by environmental groups such as NRDC and Sierra Club.
@@mdj864 Deliberate radiation poisoning during the Manhattan Project as well.
The United States Healthcare system is just ridiculous. The U.S. government spends more on Medicaid and Medicare than some countries do on their Universal health care system.
And how many people do those countries have? What's the standard of care? What are the wait times? Socialized medicine is better in some ways, worse in others. It's not that simple an issue.
How come no want gets charge for murder? If corporations are people then they should face the same justice? Unreal…..
A corporation can dissolve, which is the human equivalent of death. We seldom charge someone in their death for murder they commit while alive. This is largely the reason why charging corporations does not occur, although it has happened and the corporation has filed for bankruptcy and that was the end of it.
So he was saying people are going to die.Well guess what the the rest of Americans are dieing because of no insurance or crappy insurance.He covered this town that's great he should of took his own advice and he saying it is going take time.Follow your advice the rest of us don't have time.Just like he said no time for bureaucracy . Bureaucracy is how we got the affordable care act which does not even come close.We need to be like the rest of the industrialized nations and cover everyone and get rid of this profit driven, bankrupting system.
6:22 only hospital coverage; toss the sick to private, for-profit insurance wolves for doctor visits, meds (:-(
Hospitals are for-profit too, fyi, arguably more ruthless considering the purposely low levels of nurses kept employed to "cut costs".
Here in Australia we have universal health cover for all, its paid for by a tax levy that everybody pays in the knowledge that everyone is going to need health care at some time in their life. This system that we have here, that guarantees health care for all actually costs less per capita than the system currently in use in the USA. Australia also heavily subsidises drugs that people need so no-one has to go into terrible debt to fund treatments.
Americans don't seem to have a problem with government funding stuff like policing and fire fighting and postal services, so why do they have such a problem with health care ?
I would look at the people in government rather than the individual citizens when it comes to people being opposed to universal health coverage. Lots of our legislators are in the pockets of lobbying groups. =/
Maxwell Sieben Baucus (né Enke; born December 11, 1941) is an American politician who served as a United States senator from Montana from 1978 to 2014.
A member of the Democratic Party, he was a U.S. senator for over 35 years, making him the longest-serving U.S. senator in Montana history.
President Barack Obama appointed Baucus to replace Gary Locke as the 11th U.S. Ambassador to the People's Republic of China, a position he held from 2014 until 2017.
Medicare for all is not a left vs right issue.
It's an issue of corporate profit/payed for politicians vs the people.
The proof is the fact we just went through a pandemic with the democrats in control and instead of voting on healthcare they voted on an infrastructure package.
Whichever side you support doesn't care about you unfortunately.
I have been on Medicare for 2 yrs. It's not that great but it should be a baseline for everyone. Basic Medicare pays 80% for most hospital stuff. That other 20% is still pretty large. Plus $170 a month is taken from my social security. Due to several serious health issues I had to get a Medicare supplement. $200 per month so now it's at $370. Then if you need prescriptions which I do once you hit a certain spend you go into the coverage gap and your meds costs skyrocket. Mine are about $150 a month so healthcare costs me $520 per month. My social security is 2725 per month. Medicare for all should be the bare minimum. Medicaid should be available to everyone below the median income.
Let me guess: not one of the executives were charged.
It's going to take a long time. Yes, a long long time. As long as the medical insurance and drug company's can stall it by lobbying congress. That is free enterprise. That is how it works in this country.
It's not free enterprise it's crony capitalism
Thank you so much for posting this! 😯😒😏😊👍
WR Grace, as usual. They literally do this ALL over the world.
My grandfather had this from working at the Coast Guard years ago. He recently passed, he was almost 97.
Healthcare Lobbyist: Come back, UnitedHealth!
Single-Payer: (shoots Lobbyist) My name's not "UnitedHealth", kid!
This is absolutely deplorable that when you are at your worst point in your life (healthwise) you are being asked to pay for healthcare at the level of buying luxury items (which you will never purchase anyways). It means purchasing healthcare is ironically becoming a status symbol. Private insurance has bought every politician they are able to from making this a reality for everyone.
SO GOOD ❣️ Thank you ‼️🇺🇲❣️🇺🇲🙏💊☘️🌠
Lol that's funny, right around the time this was originally released I went a vacation with my best friends to Troy, which is right next to Libby. In fact, I broke my hand and went to the hospital in Libby to get my hand fixed, and the medical staff there was great!
The whole fucking cou try should have universal health care. With a lifetime max. U can't spend millions on 1 person. But everyone should have Healthcare. The whole industry should be nationalized.
That is what the UK has and it is beloved here.
We cannot put a maximum on caring for each other. My cousins baby was born premature and has already had nine surgeries in his short two year life. They are already $500,000.00 in debt. He will need procedures for the rest of his life, capping with a lifetime max would kill him. I’m not ok with that and you shouldn’t be either.
Everyone of these politicians once they are no longer in power and no longer tied to private interest come around. Get lost, Bacchus!
Plus you got to have other insurance to make sure that insurance is going to pay something for you make a whole lot of sense doesn't it.
They want to make sure they're going to get their money from you first and then give you as little as they have to in return.
Hell of a system we're living in hey.
And this is the great USA we're living in.
Exactly! Which is why we must demand National **IMPROVED** Medicare for All! #M4M4ALL #NIMA
Single paid is very good you town hais very great leadership for your States that very good.
thanks for sharing this
Physicians for a National Health Program
It angers me that any senior citizen has to pay for healthcare.
I've known about Libby for some years now thanks to Matt Bruenig, America's best policy wonk. Now let's talk about Max Baucus' donors before + during the Obamacare debate…grrr
meanwhile, in flint...
Love this channel!!
I love this channel. I love the stories that you're bringing to light. I would like to point out that propaganda is not right wing. You are fighting against all propaganda, not just the most agreejous. The senator in this story is not a right winger. This isn't a fight against the right, it's a fight against the narrative that there just isn't enough of OUR OWN MONEY to help ourselves.
Maybe something that can be addressee in another video, but I've never heard anyone talk about what the cost differential is for businesses between having to provide insurance vs. a tax for single payer. We know insurance costs allot for individuals, so it would seem obvious that a company that is providing for multiple individual insurance plans must be spending a lot more than they have to. It's my belief that medicare for all would be cheaper for everyone. Maybe they just like holding that power over the rest of us?
Egregious*. Other than that, excellent point.
@@kennyly7502 Yeah. I noticed that after it was too late. I also have a terrible Boston accent. Imagine if I can't spell what it would sound like if you had to listen to me speak my thoughts! Thanks for acknowledging the point and giving me a good excuse to laugh at myself this morning.
This is communist party takeover
@@joymayo3422 I don't feel at all oppressed by someone correcting my spelling. I don't think it was authoritarian, or shaming. I think Kenny was trying help. Things that are supposed to help, are not communist. Unless it's everyone trying to help the community I guess. You know, like workers standing up for their rights. The only problem I have with the town of Libby getting medicare for all is that the fucking blood suckers who literally worked all the people of that community to death, and then poisoned thier families should be paying all the medical bills. They literally killed people, and we have to foot the bill. I wonder what the tax rate was for the mining company that worked their employees to death. Please, spend a little time thinking about who is responsible for the problem before you start crapping on the solutions. Don't defend people and industries that don't care about you. All of here talking about this stuff, we're your community, not the big companies that use the rest of us like we're disposable.
Hope I didn't misspell anything.
@@sethfarrell9605 Adorable like, my non-Uncle Paul's accent.

I am for HEALTHcare for all humans, except our current system is not healthcare, it is SICKcare. So until the medical system changes to HEALTHcare, I do not support medical insurance for all, which translates to money given to this sick care industry.
Wow, would be so awesome to have Medicare for all. I wish they could simply try it out in more small towns like Libby to prove to the nation that it's not a horrible idea.... like, it works. And you can still pay for private insurance if you want. It's a shame that we pay so much more for healthcare in this country and get so little for it.
Sounds good but who pays for the coverage and are doctors satisfied with their fees.
Doctors worldwide are very satisfied working in other countries with socialized healthcare. They are still very well-off, which is besides the matter of personal pride in serving their communities.
Thats my hometown, I was cleared of asbestos, but pretty much everyone in my family has some trace of it.
Were a country based on GREED plain and simple,, We certainly can afford a one-payer system which would benefit ALL citizens BUT were motivated by PROFIT and GREED so the average citizen needs are not as important as the bottom line profit margins of corporate america,,, SAD
" Medicare for all " needs to be implemented all across America.A system similar to Canada. Health care is too important to be a " commodity "
Declare an environmental emergency for the entire USA.
we pay spend THE MOST IN THE WORLD for the worst Healthcare in the world! so we could have Universal Healthcare, and SAVE MONEY?!
Like the gal mentioned they've got insurance if you want to call it insurance they're limited on what they will do for you.
This special carve out for one community opens the door to Medicare for All.
It's long overdue for Americans to embrace the social welfare state. It's the only way forward to a truly just society.
We have had social medical services in America for veterans for decades and I have been using it for over 40 years as a retired veteran. Why not do a story on the VA and conduct a cost analysis versus veteran population?
No one is proposing a VA system.
Bruh... conditions from health disaster cannot be the bar to getting access to any like universal Healthcare... If that's the case I'd like to submit my application based of the wide range of COVID-19 related conditions resulting from and/or aggravated due to federal, state, and local governments responses to COVID-19 pandemic and lack of pandemic preparedness and readiness according to pandemic and all Hazards preparedness act or some shit..
Keep it up MPU!
As long as Wall St bosses run the country than health care will be only for those who can pay. Nothing gets done except that that creates bigger profits for the bosses. If you get sick or die young they just hire someone new. .
Well done,thumbs up
You're investigation has a serious lack of information. and the conclusion it comes to are very short sighted.
What lack of information are you talking about? Give some examples? Are you against health care for all? Do you think the American health care system is good?
If anyone believes the Democrats are somehow better than the Republicans, they are deluded. Both parties are right wing. Both parties represent the owners of capital. The bottom 90% of Americans are not in this group. We need a people's party for non owners of income producing property, for non capital owners.
And this is a great example of why all corporate taxes should be high. Every time there is a corporate created catastrophe the company pays out the people at the top, pays the share holders; then does the least they can get away with before filling bankruptcy and leaving the aftermath for the government to clean up. Once again privatizing profits and socializing loses. But if we don't tax the corporations highly, we will have to rely on the people to fix what corporate greed destroyed.
We've got some of the best doctors and hospitals and innovative healthcare technology in this country. But we don't have "healthcare" as in a functional healthcare system. What we have is a convoluted web of inefficient reimbursement methods, mix of public and private hospital systems, and HCOs that distribute healthcare resources unequally in the communities they're supposed to serve. Medicare for all would just be so much more efficient, fiscally responsible, and people would receive better care as a result.
Yes. YES!! ¥€$!!! Now do this for ALL the people impacted by corporations. The corporations should be paying for this … but so many lawmakers are in the pocket of big pharma.
Read "YOUR" " Bill of Rights! " Said " No One in America! " Lol...
#$@& Sen Baucus and all the politicians who oppose universal healthcare!
The American Medical Industry neither heals you or cures you of anything
The town is so incredibly poor and close to nothing. Housing is so expensive and glad I decided not to move there.
What about the entire state of Massachusetts? They have single-payer universal healthcare.
The fact that they still vote republican is mind-boggling. Not that most democrats would be any better... but atleast there would be a chance.
Hundreds of Black and Native towns and cities across the US are dumping sites and other contamination sites, but almost never is anything done for them. You can be sure one small White town gets compensated and cared for, though.
Love the classroom!
Good to show people it's possible bureaucratically to pull that off in this country. But there's needs to be popular media addressing elephant in the room arguments like who should pay for it and how high is too high for a premium. I'm certain there is a good argument for not letting for profit companies profit off the death of individuals. But to get everyone on the same page and reject the propaganda and back door dealing we need to be on the same page
Why is Healthcare system this complicated? You get sick, you go to the doctor, pay a simple fee, get your meds and go home. Only in America.
Fun fact: The whole state of Vermont has single-player health care since 2011.
Unfortunately that is not correct. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vermont_health_care_reform
@@uisblackcat thank you for the correction and info
Notice the difference between Libby and Flint?
There has been too much money put in the cost of everything in the pharmaceutical industry and not enough in prevention like natural path doctors that insurance doesn't payed for . Where istead insurance pays of drugs and surgery. The end result is most everone pays too much for insurance in the United States.
Montana?
Now I know where I'm going to move to...
Hopefully not the last town to ever have this.
The American healthcare system doesn't exist. It isn't a system. It's private property, no different from McDonald's. The only difference is that people don't die from lack of McDonald's in their diet. People don't go bankrupt and lose their homes and life savings because they can't afford to buy a Big Mac. Healthcare profits - via hospitals, pharmaceuticals, and insurance, are 20% of GDP in America. That means that 1 out of every $5 spent in the US is for healthcare. That's a lot of revenue, all going to shareholders. When politicians say we can't afford public healthcare in the US, they are right, since American politicians represent the owners of the industries involved. Those owners won't give up free money, which is what healthcare spending is. Everyone who ever lived and who will ever live needs healthcare. It's 100% certain. Who would give that free money up? We, the people, are peasants. The US is not a free country. It's a strict, laissez faire economic system just like England was in the 19th century.
So if I go on Medicare I need another insurance policy, where as now I only have to pay for one insurance coverage. That’s f’d . And I’ve been diagnosed fully disabled, but I still can’t get Medicare coverage until I’m 65.
If you're on social security disability and you're coming up on 25 months of being on it, then you will have Medicare.
Source- I have been on SSDI since age 18 and two months after turning 20 I became eligible for Medicare.
Sadly, yes. Our Government is killing us. We must demand a National *IMPROVED* Medicare for All system in this country! #M4M4ALL #NIMA

In these circumstances for Libby Mt I do agree with this healthcare program.They certainly deserve it after being lied to.
Only in these circumstances? There are cities all across this country who suffer by the hand of corporate greed. We all deserve National, Improved Medicare for All. It’s quite literally the most patriotic thing we can do as a nation, take care of each other.
What is the demographic makeup of Libby cuz that matters……..it’s 85 percent one race, the race doesn’t matter the homogeneity does
I would suggest that MEDICARE FOR ALL'S FINE PRINT be read thoroughly. If would like to receive free health care. CONTACT YOUR LOCAL RECRUITER.
The reason why it’s going to take time it’s was because of elected leaders like him. They either change (which almost NEVER happens) or progressives being elected.
I guess East Palestine, Ohio is headed for a single payer healthcare system.
That would be awesome and well deserved.
Nothing is free in America, somebody has to pay the bill.
Exactly. We create our own currency in this country, so National Improved Medicare for All would be funded just how they fund never ending wars across the world.
Right on!

Damn, wait til you find out about insurance companies...
The more poor people that get good health care the more poor people there'll be around to interfere with the lives of us non-poors. I say F em. Survival of the fittest(not broke.)
I don't think anybody grasp what's actually means. Watch and listen to every word.
