    Default As both parties screw the people...Medicare for All Advocates Take to the Streets

    Medicare for All Advocates Take to the Streets of Over 50 US Cities

    "How can we have life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness when we live in constant fear of illness, bankruptcy, or homelessness because of the outrageous for-profit healthcare system?"

    Just days before the 56th anniversary of Medicare being signed into law, advocates for creating a public, universal health insurance program in the United States to replace the largely private, for-profit system held marches in more than 50 cities across the country on Saturday.

    The day of action was organized by a coalition of over 100 groups, from Mainers for Accountable Leadership, the Chicago Teachers Union, and Sunrise Movement Seattle to various arms of Democratic Socialists of America, Physicians for a National Health Program (PNHP), and Our Revolution.

    "Our movement was founded from a place of compassion and love," the coalition's website explains. "We came together out of frustration with the lack of action from the powers that be."

    A Modest Proposal For Separating Blue States From Red

    Dear Red-State Trump Voter,
    Let’s face it, guys: We’re done.


    It is a tragedy that so much of the work that so many men and women toiled at for so long to make this a better country, and a better world, has been thrown away, leaving us all in such needless peril.

    This is why our separation in all but name is necessary.

    At this point, I'm more worried about the Christian Fascists taking over the country and installing Christian Sharia Law.

    That is nothing to worry about. That is why we have the 1st Amendment.

    Pretty sure '1st Amendment' along with Constitution don't really matter to the Christian Fascists and Der Fuhrer Trump.

    It might not matter but neither do they have any control.

    8 months in Jail for Trespassing. That's not too bad for an attempted Coup.

    But they accomplished nothing and had no chance of success. The military would not have supported any coup and 400 insurrectionists are hardly a battle for even the Coast Guard.

    medicare sucks ass , I have it and its terrible .
    when I had private insurance My endo doctor wanted me to use a dex con 6 system and I needed my right shoulder operated on for a bone spur and a tendon tear, no problem it was approved.

    on medicare they are denying me both and Im in pretty bad pain and have limited movement from the tendon tea rIn my left shoulder . they also denied the dex con 6 system and denied me using 4 strips a day to check my sugar when the doc wants me to check it 6 times a day.
    They are also denying me a new heart medication to slow down my heart rate that my cardio doctor prescribed o yes the y denied me a prescription for tramadol a non narcotic pain med I wanted for my shoulder as I prefer not to take narcotic pain med unless itd for a surgery or a emergency . they are to addicting and really dont help that much.

    they only pay a small part of the cost of meds . out of 15000 in prescription costs they only covered about 4000 in expenses I paid the rest. Medicare for all is great if you really are healthy and dont need much as far as meds or procedures but its a long way from the answer , much like O bung hole care it lacks a lot.

    when you take in to account that most people on medicare have fixed income from social security and disability . We have a friend who collects ssi and she gets medicare and a whole under 900 check to live on .If she wasnt getting help from the state and family she would be homeless
