1. Indeed.

But President Obama knew that there were not enough votes to pass such a system.

3. But suddenly everybody thinks that now there is a system for it. nt

4. No, but many people feel that if we are ever to join the rest of the advanced

countries in the world, a single payer option is truly needed.

Any plan that allows the insurance companies to remain in charge is not in any way a solution.

2. Is he busting Joe's balls or what?

He's a secret Bernie admirer? lol

8. The Truth

For Profit Healthcare is pretty close to a contradiction of terms. They want to make oodles of money, we want to stay healthy.

Every Candidate we have running would be a quantum improvement over the crass orange Jerk there now. I like some more than others but this is any port in a storm time and this is one heck of a storm. No time for hurt feelings if your favorite is not the nominee.

12. this was from 2018 when he was campaigning for Democrats, some of who said they supported Medicare

for All such as Andrew Gillum. He wasn't going to criticize Democrats during campaign season unlike some people.
