The race for single-payer healthcare or Medicare For All it will be between the Bernie Sanders people, The GOP and the corporate Democratic Party. If the GOP wants to keep their seats in the Senate and Congress, they need something big, like healthcare that the people will be pleased with. The GOP is desperate, they have a loser of a president and they have failed to achieve any meaningful legislation.
The GOP has said they want to replace the Affordable Care Act aka Obamacare since it was passed with something better, but their definition of better so far was deadly for many. They just need to make healthcare for all ages and if they do this they will keep power for a long time.
The U.S. pays more in healthcare than Italy, Britain, Japan, Australia, France, Canada, Sweden, Germany and Switzerland, and many others. Our politicians have sold us out to the highest bidder, the insurance companies, and we need to make them pay for putting their pockets before our health.
It is imperative that we Bernie supporters and progressives beat the GOP and corporate Democrats, if we don’t they win. If the GOP beats us to passing healthcare, there will be no free education, no minimum wage increase to reflect inflation, the demise of unions, climate change will take a backseat and women’s right, LGBTQ rights, Civil Rights will go by the wayside.
The key is who passes healthcare for all first, gets the kingdom. Understand, this is a race. What’s left of the middle class cannot afford to lose this race. If the GOP pulls this off, it will mean more states going Republican, and more right to work states. The big concern is they are close to enlisting enough states to convene a Constitutional Convention, to bring about changes that benefit the GOP. They already have the U.S. Supreme Court stacked in their favor.
This could happen very fast, and how could the progressive Democrats or Bernie people speak out against Medicare For All and win future elections? We, the Bernie people, must be first and hope the corporate Democrats pull their collective heads out of the sand and see what can and will happen if they don’t help us.
Right now the GOP is boxed in a corner and like caged animals, they will do anything to get out from under the shit pile they’ve made. They will spin their healthcare as following in the footsteps of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. This is the easiest way for the GOP to fix their mess and it will happen. We must do this yesterday.
It’s time to pick a side. You want to have and keep unions with good wages and pensions, then it’s time to pick a side. You want to keep Social Security for yourself and family, it is time to pick a side. You want to get or keep Medicare and Obama’s Affordable Care Act, then it’s time to pick a side. It is us against the billionaires. The very rich got that way off the backs of workers, and now want to strip everything away from those workers. It’s time to pick a side. The very rich can buy countries, then make the people get on their hands and knees and grovel and beg for scrapes that usually go into the dumpster. It’s time to pick a side. Is this what we want for our family and our future? It’s time to pick a side. Get ready to fight for you and your families’ lives. There is no middle ground with these greedy people for they want it all—all the money—all the power—all the land so where does this leave us when they have all the commons, like water, land and airways? It’s time to pick...
