Medicare For All: Costs Less, Works Better! Just Look at Canada... They Pay Less and Live Longer...


Remember: The Canadian Healthcare Costs People Less Money Than the American Healthcare System... and People Live Longer... 

Let's Replace our Broken System...

 Our Plan: "Get Sick, Die, Loser." 
is NOT the best Idea. 

England, Scandinavia, Australia, Europe... They ALL HAVE BETTER HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS... Let's Learn from Them.

For many critics of U.S. health care, the Canadian system of universal health care has long been viewed as an alternative, superior model for the U.S. to follow. Canada’s single-payer system is mostly publicly funded, while the U.S. has a multi-payer, heavily private system. While dissatisfaction with the U.S. health care system is widespread among Americans, Canada’s health care system enjoys high levels of satisfaction among its own population.

On FaceBorg: MN Said...  
I'm going to explain why we need Medicare-for-All. When J.F.K. was calling for Universal Healthcare, he said at the time we were not providing the same level of care as other countries.
In the 1990s I saw a woman testifying in Congress that her job working for an insurance company was to take high dollar claims that were coming in and pull the paperwork the patient signed while getting insurance, look for a mistake that had been made by the patient and use that mistake to deny coverage. She said she knew people had died as a result of her actions. The question we need to ask ourselves is does it make sense to give trillions of dollars each year to insurance companies that work hard to avoid paying for healthcare? The most obvious example of this is pre-existing conditions which came into play only in the U.S. so insurance companies could avoid paying for medical expenses. Those with pre-existing conditions had their medical expenses paid for by state aid, if they were lucky. This means we were giving trillions of dollars to insurance companies for the express purpose of paying medical expenses while also paying millions in taxes to cover the expenses the insurance companies refused to cover.
In 2020 millions of people in this country lost jobs because of the pandemic. A high percentage of those also lost insurance coverage because they could no longer afford to pay premiums. So there are those who lost their jobs, then lost insurance coverage, then got sick and went to the hospital ending up tens of thousands of dollars in debt. This happens every time we have a serious economic downturn. It's cruel and oppressive...people are dying in the name of corporate profits. The U.S. is the only country that allows people to go bankrupt because they got sick or injured. The number one reason citizens of this country file for bankruptcy is medical debt.
In Germany, single payer healthcare is working so well that a person feeling stress can have a doctor write a prescription for a free three week stay at a spa. Germany has a healthcare system that reduces stress while we have a system that CAUSES stress.
Recent studies have indicated that Medicare-for-All would save billions each year. The most recent that I'm aware of was done by Yale University. It concluded that Medicare-for-All would save approximately $500 billion dollars and 30,000 lives every year.
Medicare-for-All (or single payer) has the approval of nearly 70% of U.S. citizens. We won't have justice or democracy in this country until the government starts working for the people instead of working for corporations.

Trump's Top 10 Failures:

#1 Over a Million Americans Died of COVID-19. It was NOT a "Democratic Hoax" Like Trump Said.

#2 Trump Lost The 2020 Election to Joe Biden. That's Why Trump Lives in Mar-A-Loser and Biden Lives in the White House.

#3 Trump Failed to Overthrow the US Government and Crown Himself King on January 6th. Over a Thousand Trumpanzees Have been Arrested... Including Trump Himself!

#4 Trump's Trade War With China. That Harmed American Farmers, Manufacturing Businesses and Consumers. Russia Benefited by Selling Soybeans to China.

#5 Trump Failed to Build the Wall and Have Mexico Pay for it... It's Incomplete and People Simply Walk Around the End...

#6 Trump Failed to Repeal and Replace Obamacare... He Had No Plan "Trumpcare" - He Just wanted to Harm Americans...

#7 Trump Failed to Change the Course of a Hurricane Using a Sharpie Felt Pen... Causing "Sharpiegate" and Many Joke Memes!

#8 Largest Loss of Money on the Stock Market in History.

#9 Massive Unemployment - 14.7%

#10 Huge Lines of Americans Waiting for FREE FOOD because they Could Not Buy Their Own Groceries...

Trump Received Money From Roman Vasilenko (a Russian Businessman) for His 2016 Campaign. GOP operative Jesse Benton was convicted of funneling Russian donations. The "Russia Hoax" was Not a Hoax After All. Trump Actually Got Rubles to Help Him Campaign AND HE KEPT THEM!

Why Hasn't Trump Been Arrested and Convicted for This Crime?


https://www.cnbc.com/2022/11/18/gop-operative-convicted-of-funneling-russian-donation-to-trumps-2016-campaign-.html
Republican political operative Jesse Benton was convicted in federal court of funneling $25,000 from a Russian businessman to Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.

"The change we need most is to elect a president who recognizes that people of color deserve to feel safe and represented, that women deserve the right to choose what happens to their bodies, and that the LGBTQIA+ community deserves to be acknowledged and included," she said.

Advertising in School Textbooks. As a way to reduce costs in Classrooms, Textbooks now have ads... promoting Corporate Ideas. Including the TEXT of the Book itself.

That's what's happening Now in Schools... Concepts that Advertisers LIKE Get Promoted. Corporate Brainwashing... 

Just Like Corporate Television News Shows. I have noticed that MSNBC and FOX NEWS have a marketing plan to attract more Viewers. MSNBC tells HATE TRUMP news stories. Fox News Tells LOVE TRUMP news Stories.  MSNBC tells that all Trump's actions are bad. Even when he does something good. And Fox News is the exact opposite... 

Well, now textbooks have corporate sponsors... who are telling textbook WRITERS what to say. 

 http://www.nbcnews.com/id/14362735/ns/business-personal_finance/t/new-idea-cut-textbook-costs-sell-ads/

"Textbook prices are soaring into the hundreds of dollars, but in some courses this fall, students won’t pay a dime. The catch: Their textbooks will have ads for companies including FedEx Kinko’s and Pura Vida coffee.
Selling ad space keeps newspapers, magazines, Web sites and television either cheap or free." 

Quality of life declines under Republicrime rule... Still no Construction on Infrastructure... Wages decline, Costs Increase... Tax Cut for the Rich Law FAILS to help Middle Class and Poor People.

Americans all across the USA are Waking Up. It's all part of the Global Dump Trump Movement. Did you notice that we are moving towards a Monarchy with Czar Donald the First leading the way?

https://www.vox.com/polyarchy/2017/9/22/16345194/republican-party-pathological
Yes, the Republican Party has become pathological. But why?
We’re not going to fix American democracy until we can explain why the GOP went crazy.

One reason Trump Loves Putin and Everything Russian is that he Owes Them The Election. They Teamed up to Defeat Hillary. Without Putin Helping, Trump would have lost.
