30 million people are expected to lose private health insurance. I don’t care if it’s called TrumpIsTheGreatestCare or BidenIsAwesomeCare or NeeraTandenReallyIsntCorruptCare — as long as we pass Medicare for All that finally guarantees medical care to everyone, I’m good with it.

During a lethal pandemic, the HHS Secretary is a former pharma exec and a former longtime pharma lobbyist runs Joe Biden’s campaign.
Not great.
It’s almost as if it was a terrible immoral mistake for so many Democratic Party politicians, pundits & think tankers to spend the last year vilifying Medicare for All

People without insurance can get cared for for free. And hospitals would get paid for at Medicare rates.
Wish there was a phrase for that.

The Center for American Progress - funded by foreign governments and hedge fund & Wall St. billionaires - chose a bad day to have its well-paid Executive Director spend all day on Twitter arguing against Medicare for All.
But nothing encapsulates the Dem Party better than that:

The President said it himself: It isn’t fair that so many people can’t afford health insurance & don’t qualify for Medicare.
I, along with
