The cheapest way to deliver healthcare is to provide universal healthcare. This has been demonstrated nearly infinite times; Roger Marshall just isn’t smart. The US spends more on healthcare than any other country in the entire world BECAUSE of privatization (and we have the worst health outcomes!)
Roger Marshall: "We want patients to become consumers again. We want patients to see what the actual prices are. We believe that if we would add the price tags to this bill, that it would save the country a trillion dollars a year."

MEN: I have an opportunity for you to meaningfully support people who have abortions - buy a copy of THE ABORTION COMPANION: An Affirming Handbook for Your Choice and Your Journey and donate it to your local clinic, free little library, etc. You don’t have to need the book yourself to help someone!

Republicans are so fixated on restricting abortion that they’re willing to tank your health care to do it.
On @ms.now, I highlighted how supporting reproductive freedom is also supporting affordable, accessible health care for everyone.
We deserve leaders who put our care first.

The new novel "What Friends Are For" sheds light on the history of abortion in Canada. Harriet Zaidman's book is a “nuanced, important, and unfortunately timely novel set in 1983 at the height of Canada’s abortion debate, following a young girl grappling with an unplanned pregnancy.”
