Medicare 4 All or GTFO.
+Paul B obamacare prevents exclusion based on preexisting conditions. This is now a non issue
+MiniKing if you cant afford private health insurance get on medicaid or add medicare as an option for you.
+Johnny Gamer lol, “when the rich are eaten” youre too cute, must be a college student. One day when you grow up youll stop blaming others for your problems, the hatred and jealousy in your heart for those who are successful will soften, and youll begin to focus on yourself looking inward for what you need to succeed in life rather than looking outward to tear others down. However little you think you have, i promise you it’s not because i or others have more. We are not your problem. We dont hope you fail or stay poor. Good luck lad
+Barbara Combs yeah while Trump robs people blind.
I hope this guy stays in the race so we can keep crapping all over him.
And also sponge votes off Trump. Moderate Republicans who hate Trump might decide to cast their protest votes for this guy instead. He’s actually great for the left. Democrats hate him and independents usually love progressive candidates so any votes he gets will be from disaffected Republicans reducing Trump’s vote count further
I think it’s good that he’s running. If you don’t like him, don’t vote for him. But it’s better for there to be options.
Br Ramesh he’s gonna sponge votes off both sides if he’s as centrist as he says he is
+JWil42 No that’s a sad misconception the mainstream media on both sides wants to popularize because THEY like centrist candidates.
Democrat voters will be focused on beating Trump and they won’t mess around. Independents usually like progressive and nationalist(meaning hostile to free trade) positions(In fact that’s why Trump lied about providing universal healthcare) It’s only fiscally conservative(but culturally liberal or indifferent) people and neverTrumpers who will vote for this guy. That’s practically all Republican votes.
He will stay as long as the CIA asks him to keep going.
I’m not sure if he’s actually lying or just completely stupid. I mean becoming a billionaire off a food chain doesn’t take a genius. It just takes good presentation and location. Schultz just thinks he’s a gift from god and a super genius for simply enjoying our economic system and getting lucky. Only to the corrode that system to the point no one else can do it in the same manner. Its not his fault he’s so insulated he can’t tell what the political and economic weather is outside. Everything just looks grey from up his tower
Exactly. Guys like him cross the bridge to success and then burn the bridge behind them.
nole 89 Pretty much every baby boomer suffers from voluntary amnesia.
+I’M NOT YOU NEVER WILL BE The Magic of Comfort
Schultz couldn’t even make money on AN NBA TEAM! (Goodbye Seattle SuperSonics, hello Oklahoma City Thunder.) He’s NOT a good businessman; he caught lightning with Starbucks and has been living off of that ever since.
Quite the word salad, Howard. The dressing tastes artificial. Iceberg lettuce with carrot shavings. From a billionaire to America, with love.
I want Bernie to announce this week he is running, what is he waiting for?
Who all the pigs announce to run
We already have Castro (creepy oportunist)
Gillibrand (Demagogue Mondale 2.0)
Harris (A strict law enforcer who not Even was at the streets but proseciting minorities for foolish things, and aqciting Mnuchin for serious crimes, and taking his money)
Booker (Pharma Booser)
Warren (Coward Dukakis 2.0 and a fraud)
Klobuchar (another Minnesota moderate…)
We just need Biden and you will get all the porks together
+joe hilner This is one of the few places where i disagree with jimmy dore when he says bernie should’ve created 3rd party with AOC and tulsi. It’s not easy at all. and bernie hasn’t got lot of time in his hand.
On the contrary I think its you that haven’t learned the lesson. like kyle said they would rather lose to the republican than win with people to their left. If bernie creates 3rd party, the establishment would never compromise with him, according to jimmy dore’s wishful thinking.
+Binod Shrestha it’s a hell of a lot easier than taking over a corrupt party with almost limitless funds.
Denny’s senior special.
Just when i thought politicians couldn’t get any dumber
And he’s not even a politician lol
He is correct under Obama care. Premiums and deductibles went up tremendously under ACA. We don’t know how much the Government will charge us in taxes for Medicare for all and will it lower our premiums and deductibles? Who knows.
But with competition in private insurance companies, they can be so much cheaper than health care and cover more than what the Government provides. Competition helps drive the prices.
+Tyree Foster cheaper isn’t better
+Tyree Foster isn’t that what we had before ACA? I still remember everything being expensive and people not being covered because of pre-existing conditions.
It’s getting hard to prioritize who i dislike the most.
As far as what is “un-American” i’m feeling that at this point things which are described as “American” are really bad for the average person. Except for apple pie. Apple pie is good. I vote for apple pie to be president.
polly foo foo
Hell, I’d vote for _any_ kind of pie. Pie is hands down, one of the greatest things ever.
Apple pie has gluten. Sorry my dude.
AMP2K1 we can get GF apple pie for you!
celvester allison ok we’re running Apple pie for prez, Strawberry-rhubarb for VP
It molested at least one high school kid. Confirmed on video.
I don’t like going conspiracy theorist here but…it feels like the billionaires sense the sands shifting and had a big bondfire meeting and decided to send Howard out to try and stop these changes but forgot that Howard has the personality of a bag of lettuce..iceberg too..not the fancy spring mix bags.
I think he will stick around to try to split votes on the left, all to try to protect his fortune
+Dregs I agree. I hope people can see through his act.
How dare you talk about lettuce like that.
+Khashon Haselrig ..you’re right =(..I sincerely apologize to iceberg lettuce for this harsh comparison.
“How ya gonna afford something that’s less expensive!?” –Jimmy Dore
Bruce Ching Wolfwarrior how much money would those actually raise? I just hear complaining about spending. Centrist and conservative policies cost billions (that’s with a “b”). Progressive policies cost trillions (that’s with a “t”).
America’s debt is not from not taxing enough or the rich not paying their fair share. America does not have a revenue problem. It has a spending problem. The answer is not to spend more. It is to spend less.
And again, the military is only 14% of the national budget, and is a national necessity. And it is not bloated, because it is not just responsible for one country; under NATO (and other treaties and agreements), it is responsible for over 30. If you think the US should cut their military spending, maybe get all our allies to increase theirs first.
Here’s a link to the financial effect of (W.) Bush policies. Note the huge contributions to deficits that are attributable to the tax cuts. That certainly is a revenue problem. On top of that, the Trump tax cuts exacerbate the problem. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BTDDyArHqrg/TgOfyLVcxAI/AAAAAAAADqE/f9kT-uRsUPc/s1600/Budget+Deficit+projections+2011.jpg
Wolfwarrior I asked for actual numbers, not claims. Your comment here has confirmed what I have thought for the past month: progressives are just Marxists in sheep’s clothing. Your ideas of equality will wreck the economy. The only way to effectively redistribute the wealth is to destroy the incentives to create wealth.
Crappy coffee, crappy restaurants, crappy home town, crappy guy.
Love your show.
The rich just don’t get it..the dogs have been kicked long enough and they are ready to bite.
YELLOW VESTS for everyone!!
Yesssss
That or Fawkes masks and bandanas.
“Un-American” is Howard Schultz’s favorite term for anybody who disagrees with him on anything.
Oh good. He’s just like trump then.
If this idiot keeps running his mouth, the Starbucks board of directors is going to disassociate the company from him just like Papa John’s did with their founder.
This man believes it will hurt the billianaires. Oh that’s right he’s a billionaire
We can’t have Starbucks coffee anymore.
Not a billionaire anymore. As he said, they’re “people of means.” Meaning, the rest of us are meaningless.
He’s right. It’s un-American. It’s Canadian, English, Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish, Danish, French, Spanish, Dutch, Polish, Italian, Austrian, German, Greek, Australian, Etc.
Even a “3rd-World” country like *THAILAND* has Universal Health Care.
https://www.theguardian.com/health-revolution/2016/may/24/thailand-universal-healthcare-ucs-patients-government-political
Moreover, according to the US National Library of Medicine, Thailand is the #1 destination for medical tourists.

Don’t forget Israeli and GASP Chinese too!
And don’t forget Togo too. Oh wait. They have the American style system, but with only 5 doctors and 27 nurses nationwide. Never mind.
+Grouchy Marx I think Qatar uses a system similar to ours.
Untreated illness is the All American way to go. Having to choose food over healthcare that’s absolutely American.
its not just taxes.its,not worrying about changing jobs because u wont have health care.not worrying about deductables.whats covered,whats not.
So, his job as President,as he sees it, would be to fine tune corporate lobbying techniques. Now that’s leadership on behalf of the people, if I ever stepped in a pile of leadership on behalf of the people.
I think it’s safe to say that Howard Schultz’s 2020 run is at an end. Buh-bye.
She still lied by omission about the source of the figure of 2 trillion in savings, attributing the number to Bernie, failing to mention that he was actually quoting a Koch brothers funded study, that, given it’s source, probably underestimated the savings by a wide margin.
By saying the numbers were Sanders’, she let all the anti-Bernie establishment pricks who want to block Medicare For All, a plausible reason to dismiss the stat because they don’t like the source. Good reporting for them, but still pretty poor.
