In this system, how would services be evaluated? If a doctor says you need it.... You're good? Would hospitals have to show pricing before the procedure? Or are all procedure costs standard across the US?

So how do we as a society culturally push back on this? How do we make joining ICE not cool?

You've suggested trying these ideas at the local level. So what is the smallest municipality size to make this possible? 70,000? 500,000?

Who needs to be at the table to create the plan and how do you entice them to come? Guessing it would start with direct contracting with local hospital systems.

For a city or county to make a go of offering universal care, who all needs to be at the table?

What should be said to get them to the table?

Can we use the Fed as an example to set up a government adjacent agency?

I want this to be true but where is the data?

Could there be regulation on how many patients a PC doctor can have? They are already overly taxed and this would add to their plate if they are the gate keeper for everything. Could legislation also help cure our doctor shortage?

Thank you for this amazing thread. Labor history is American history.

I drove through twice! Great crowd! Thank you for being there!

This is an awesome list. Thank you for compiling!

This is all AI.... Right??

What is still happening in Cincy to help him?

@jbpritzker.bsky.social explains how states work with federal law enforcement agencies and what these cuts have met for Illinois on the @weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social. He also explains what the cuts to community programs have done and why just policing doesn't work. Helpful talking points.
