The Democratic Party in CA killed a state single-payer framework bill in 2024. Biden opposed Medicare-for-All. Now, these fascist-enabling Democrat Senators want to make peace with mass murder. There seems to be some consistency here.
Two posts by @qasimrashid.com: (1st post) More Senate Democrats folded to let Trump gut our healthcare than House Republicans folded to release the Epstein files. This is example of why we can't have nice things. (2nd post) Tonight Democrats proved that old quip. If a genie gave Democrats 3 wishes, they'd negotiate it down to 1, and then wish for something they think Republicans will like. We need a true opposition party now more than ever. Because this aint it.

Single-payer healthcare reform means getting rid of private insurance corporation gatekeeping from the system.

The only purpose the insurers serve is to commodify human health and extract massive profits. It is a criminal operation supported by Democrats and Republicans alike.

Trump's bill to grant $74 billion to expand ICE surveillance, abductions and incarceration of undocumented workers, legal residents of the U.S. (and natural-born citizens) is a grave danger to senior citizens as 30% of caregivers in the U.S. are immigrants. #STOPHR1

H.R. 1 will codify Trump's removal of regulation guardrails on AI. Section 601 of H.R. 1 essentially gives AI firms immunity from state oversight, allowing them to operate with relative freedom across the country. This may have implication for healthcare. medium.com/@lextrackai/...
Graph addressing profiteering implications of HR1's removal of Artificial Intelligence guardrails, showing data from 2023 U.S. Senate subcommittee report revealing United Healthcare's claim denial rate jumping to 32% in 2023, twice the industry's average of 16%. The increase was linked to the nH Predict AI model developed by its subsidiary NaviHealth, which often overrode physicians and prematurely ended rehabilitation coverag, leaving patients to pay out-of-pocket or abandon treatment altogether.

Too of graphic: Quote overlaid of image of Voltaire with feather pen with quote of Voltaire “The comfort of the rich depends upon an abundant supply of the poor.” Below this, the words, “If the richest nation in the world claims it cannot afford Universal Healthcare, then perhaps it is also the cruelest nation in the world.”

Happy Easter for those who celebrate.
Picture of Jesus Christ with palm of his right hand extended over the body of a sick woman in bed, surrounded by concerned 6-7 concerned onlookers. Top of image reads, “Jesus Christ Healed the Sick.” Below image in caps, reads “WITHOUT COPAYS, DEDUCTIBLES, & PREMIUMS” and in smaller font, “Christ healing the wife of Simon Peter’s wife by John Bridges (1839)”

Eu·gen·ics

1. the study of how to arrange reproduction within a human population to increase the occurrence of heritable characteristics regarded as desirable...eugenics was increasingly discredited as unscientific and racially biased - especially after the adoption of its doctrines by the Nazis..
A post on X by @Nicole_Lee_Sch "Hey all of these things are examples of a eugenics playbook in action: 1. Normalizing epidemic diseases; 2. Removing proven drug therapies from market; 3. Claiming disabled people can "work out" to restore health; 4. institutionalizing ppl in "health"camps; 5. Cutting back SNAP (Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program); 6. Targeting IEPs (Individualized Education Programs); 7. Refusing to track disease outbreaks; 8. Firing healthcare professionals; 9. Claiming some disabilities should be eradicated (like autism); 10. Cutting clinical trial research in progress. The current admin has done all of these in the last two weeks. You need to see it for what it is - it IS eugenics. They ARE framing disabled people as unfit for resources, education employment and care.
