1. How about some info about what's in the video, and why we should watch it?

4. Barney Frank is always good, this appearance goes into

how the Dreamers wrongly harassed Pelosi and the history of American healthcare and unions. Also, there is a sportscaster who discusses good points about free speech and brain damage from the sport. They also discuss the anti 45 Republicans and the current GOP.

2. Thanks so much!

I watched the whole thing because I am away from home and without HBO! Good guests this week.

3. Medicare for all, Not 'single payer'. Difference

is how it is phased in by lowering the coverage age. Pay for it as Sanders explained with a 6.2% corporate tax for HC since employers no longer offer plans. Medicare operates at 3% overhead so costs for ins go way down and end up paying less than what they are paying now. Mahr is not well informed on this issue or else he expresses his understanding negatively.
Also Payee means just that, it pays the bill. Medical people and institutions all stay the same but don't have to deal with all the paperwork and ins companies since there is only a single payer and with everyone covered it will easily be able to cover dental, hearing, and vision. Mahr is wrong when he says doctors will have to charge less etc.. Plus each covered individual will have a say in how the program is managed. Its not socialism it's 'Democratic' socialism.

6. Neither do I (can't afford it...35% of my income goes to Healthcare

and that is WITH the ACA)! That is why I had to post it from You Tube and it is full of commercials which sucks. I figure it is better than nothing. I just learned how to post You Tube from my touchscreen tablet 2 weeks ago. It wasn't posted by anyone with HBO so I did it since I really do appreciate his show.

11. my favorite part of the video starts at 48 mins

My favorite line in the whole show:

"Colluding with Russia, fine. But Democrats......?'

That right there describes the republican part in a nutshell. Party uber alles.
