Establishment Dems pushing Janet Mills—who would be 85 after her first term—to run for Maine Senate.🤦🏽‍♂️

We need journalists in the U.S. to do this also!

A march in Sea Point, Cape Town, on Sunday was the latest in a series of protests aimed at spotlighting the targeted killing of media workers in Gaza. Local journalists led the demonstration, expressing solidarity with their colleagues on the other side of the world.

I read somewhere today that Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure are very clear; grand jury testimony is secret. There is no such thing as a "public interest exception".

If you talk to the rank and file Culinary workers, they will tell you Medicare For All is cheaper and better. Many other unions, and their leadership, are solidly behind this. Check the NNU/CNA nurses.

IMO, Warren and Pete are both wrong. people don't like being told by their for-profit insurance companies what doctor-recommended treatments they can have.

Oh...damn. I forgot the Iran hostages. You're right. He cooked the election. I should've known, I was on the USS Kitty Hawk in '79, with those helicopters.

Nope - I did not. Re-read the start of my replies. I'm talking about the structure of healthcare and why the public option is doomed to fail. Those are the goalposts.

I'll ask one more time, can you justify further enshrining the profit motive at the heart of our system? Show me the value added by that, and tell me why sucking a giant amount of money out of the system does anyone any good?

TheA OC quote from the same timeframe acknowledges the Congressional roadblocks. Why would that be? Pharma money? Insurance company lobbying?

Oh - sorry, I think there is a misunderstanding. I am accusing Axelrod of posturing, not Pete. I'm trying to point out that the flaw in the "public option", aka "Medicare For All Who Want It" is that it fails to address the root cause of why healthcare in this country is 2x more expensive.

You are confusing political posturing with discussion of the merits of universal single-payer. Can you justify further entrenching the profit motive in the heart of US healthcare system? I'll wait...

What Pete proposes here is not universal single-payer healthcare.

This will not work in the long run, as it concentrates the sickest (and most costly) people into one risk pool. There is no way to contain costs, so, like I said, costs will spiral out of control and the whole system will crash.
