When they talk about privatizing Veterans’ care and Medicare, they mean allowing companies to provide healthcare for a profit.
But how do companies make those profits? By *denying* care to many who need it.
Don’t get fooled by the “privatization” label. It means “for profit” and YOU are the cost.

My one constructive criticism on BlueSky, as a community: we need to “like” less and “retweet” more. In the absence of an algorithm, that’s the way we find each other and reward good content.

My husband (wwc) worked hard to get his father to vote Dem, even tho he’s a lifelong Rep. But when my FIL got into the booth, he just couldn’t bring himself to go against that R. Now he doesn’t want to talk about it, and I sense he regrets it already. I bet he’s not the only one. #notamandate

Hey all -
I see some shares of the older HR 9495 script.
This is the updated version, and it directly addresses the fact that the changes made to the bill post-failure basically didn't do anything.

As promised, updated scripts here for HR 9495, which will be headed back to the floor around Wednesday.
Yes, this is the bill that gives the Sec. Treasury powers to strip non-profits of their C3 status.
1. For House members,
2. For Senators,
3. For New Yorkers to call Schumer.
Please call.

Politicians, if they want to earn votes, can't blame voters for their poor listening skills. But newsletter writers can.
