Heretical Hershey I forgot nationalized banking. Those are the sectors of the economy I would want 100% nationalized. Other sectors are debatable, but scale matters as well.
Agriculture, Healthcare, Banking and Energy have moral implications for why they should be nationalized. Those sectors of the economy can also hold a civilization hostage the way other sectors can’t.
Nationalise the healthcare system. That way you can integrate private insurances in the system but dictate the terms the system works. And if you pay more in a private healthcare you have some supericial benefits. But still the nessesary provided healthcare for the rest. That way the rich can still feel better but not at the cost of the public.
every ceo in the healthcare/pharmaceutical industries _should_ be tried for murder. their assets seized, both personal and business and spent on the people

You need a high IQ to understand Obamacare.
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Obamacare. The cynicism is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical politics most of the pablum will go over a typical viewer’s head. There’s also Obama’s neo-lib outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation –
I think I have a fairly good grasp of how the ACA works, its shortcomings, and how it has helped citizens. I don’t know how high my IQ is, but I am fairly motivated to understand it because I have to get my insurance through the ACA. What I will say is that all insurance schemes require a bit of knowledgeability to navigate them, particularly if your medical issue isn’t covered under a policy. Someone like me is uninsurable because I have an autoimmune disease. My father died because he couldn’t buy insurance. He was born with a heart condition. So the ACA has helped people like me, it would have saved my father’s life.
My problem with our healthcare system is its complexity. It is complex for a reason, because within complexity is the ability to steal from people. This is why I am for government ran health insurance that doesn’t have a profit motive. Private insurance companies profit from denying care, and making policies extremely complicated so you do not know what is covered and what isn’t. A single payer system doesn’t require a lot of intellectual capacity to navigate it. Are you sick? Well go to the doctor. And I think people are beginning to understand this finally. I have been waiting for this moment for 40 yrs, when my father died at 45. Because even as a kid I knew the system sucked and my dad died because we weren’t rich.
Private insurance options are very complicated. And piles of paperwork.
And you might not be properly covered when you need it.
Or medical treatment may be declined.
What could go wrong?
Just marvel at the fact that a Democratic Primary candidate, who “lost”, singlehandedly as an avatar lurched public opinion on Medicare4All violently to the Left.
Oh whew the funny podcast guy said I wasn’t less liberal than my punk nephew on Facebook. I was worried that the human sacrifices required to keep these dividend payouts coming made me bad but it turns out there is nuance and complexities and intricacies and convolutions and details
A lot of Americans have very little money.
Where are they going to get the money for insurance? And insurance options are a PITA. And some people get really sick by chance. Others don’t.
What if everybody was fully covered at no cost? No bankruptcies. Sure, people with money would pay higher taxes but no separate healthcare expenses.
Sounds like Medicare for All. No giant insurance manuals. No piles of insurance paperwork. Just healthcare for anyone who needs it.
Taxes, if you adjust the taxes and the costs to how much people earn, that shouldnt be a big problem. And you pay through taxes, like the police or schools or any public service ever.
The private healthcare industry is a failure in terms of outcomes and the fraud waste and abuse. Many think that private market options are free of waste. They aren’t. The free market just passes the cost of fraud on to customers and adds to the ocean of debt where the American economy is drowning.
The Pied Pfeiffer strikes again
both of the characters in your pun are jewish lol
God I hate these clowns… Xi pls…
Hearing Tommy try and orate, I appreciate the soyface meme now.

Private healthcare is only good if you never have to use it.

+Strawman Akkad That is sadly impossible under the law, i would be fine with taking their power over the system away.

+Keith haha. Child abuse is often cyclical.
fffaaaaava beans
Cumtown’s gay tho
Didn’t these bums spearhead that last big astro-turfed Obamacare rehaul that fell flat on its’ face? Guess they still haven’t figured this out yet.
what was that, and how can i find it? i just want to see. 🙂
+Brit Ferguson -I can’t remember what the hell they were calling it. Let me see if I can pull something up.
+Brit Ferguson I actually uploaded it as well lol: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9OY-hfywkA
Lets stick with our ideology and end up accomplishing no changes.
I’m afraid it’s too complicated for you. No don’t ask me to elaborate.
Let’s start with accomplishing very little (obamacare) and then do some ideology.
+Padaster Don’t worry. We know you can’t.
Greg Benge like how Hillary won

Let’s put MASSIVE PROFITS ON ILLNESS. What could possibly go wrong?
The rich actually don’t want you cluttering up the waiting room.
Yelling “but I’m a friend of the pod!” as my insurance agent shoots my kneecaps
Tax the rich. Pay for healthcare.
+clumsy ferret I am sorry. Thanks for sharing. Consider being involved with your local MFA coalition.
+clumsy ferret My mother needs insulin and pays lot for insurance. Way too much.
+clumsy ferret I don’t really want to fork over my cash to fund your husband’s bad skin. I don’t think Jeff Bezos does either.
make the un do it
“everyday the NHS gives my mother life for free”
Powerful.

Booker, Harris, and WARREN don’t have the backbone to push the fight for Medicare4All.
Just kill anyone who owns a home. That is the only solution.
