@housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov I hear Mark Cuban thinks M4All is too expensive.
I bet a few more of your billionaire friends think the same.
WE DO NOT CARE what they think. You need to do what is right for the majority of us. AND make them pay their fair share.

Let’s be clear, Mr. President, sending the American people a one-time check for $2,000 for health care is NOT going to help!
If you would rather send the money for subsidies to healthcare insurance premiums directly to the people instead of the insurance companies, fine.
But no shell games!
