We desperately need a President and Congress that supports Medicare for All single payer...

The Affordable Care Act was the first step and a good one. It proves how sadistic the health insurance industry is and how a real single payer system is the most cost effective and proper way to deal with healthcare (not health insurance).

The disgusting and cruel republican plan for healthcare, hopefully, will not be ignored by the American public and will side with Medicare for All.

but there's more we need a decent Congress for. Single Payer will take a long time here, imo, unfortunately. WAY too much $$$ behind the status quo.

I believe people are primed for Medicare for All and will fight for it.

We just need a President and Congress to 'go for it'.

I am more of a 'go for it' kind of person - it is the only way to do it.

I see whee single payer will cover everyone from -9 months to end-of-life care.

People and businesses would love it.

And yes, it always starts with Dems in office....
