Nurses Fight for Medicare for All (w/ Deborah Burger)
The only hope for medicare4 all is the medical field getting behind it!
70% OF THE NATION is behind it. CONTACT YOUR CONGRESS PERSON telling them what YOU want and expect from them.
Not only should nurses “fight for Medicare for all,”…economists…any NOT LIBERTARIAN…should also fight for Medicare for all.
Based on THIS fact… a study SPONSORED by the Koch brothers, no less!!:
Koch-backed study finds ‘Medicare for All’ would save U.S. trillions
An estimated cost of $32.6 trillion over 10 years is less than the US would spend over the next 10 years under the current system.

HMMMM…”Socialized Medicine”?
In fact, ALL politicians…claiming to “represent the people,” and who WHINE about the “deficit and the debt,” ALL OF THEM…(hear this you corrupt Republican SHILLS…and you lackey wanna-be corporate Dems?)….
Why would a politician NOT EVERY DAY..whine and moan about NOT saving 32 TRILLION in ten years…and provide HEALTH CARE for everyone..?
WTF?…WE ALL (working-class folks)…KNOW why!!
REMOVE these corporate, plutocratic…sucking,… politico…LACKEYS.
It’s not Trump, or even the Republicans that they have to fight.
Or..do you mean…”it is not JUST Trump or the Republicans that they have to fight?”
+i l I mean the hardest fight is against the conservative democrats. The don’t want to change anything. Republicans might not even be an issue that much longer.
+Ming Mongo they have the south and midwest heavily gerrymandered, of course Republicans are still a problem.
+Umberto Eco Demographics are against them. GOP is the party of old white racists. As we get less old and white, we also get less racist. I don’t see them even being a viable party in 15 or 20 years. Not that they’ll go out without doing as much damage as they can. But it will be the conservative end of the Democrats that will block any meaningful change. Listen to Pelosi’s language lately.
If I’m understanding you, you’re right, it’s the corporate Dems and the monied insurance companies. Most doctors also want Medicare For All, and they better speak up loudly!
Of course most nurses would want government run medical care. Look at the benefits of having a guaranteed lifetime job with no chance for dismissal working for the government as opposed to a privately owned hospital or clinic.
gnystrom13 you don’t actually *know* any nurses do you?
Great job spreading falsehoods. Speaking of jobs, who pays you to do this?
Actually the nurses and doctors would stay in the private sector. The insurance would be public.
From what I understand, Pramilla has changed the bill for the worst. What’s up with that?
What I hear now is that she has made improvements. I hope to see the whole bill soon. I’ll be pressuring my Rep and senators to co-sign!
