Warren said it last night, that is a Republican talking point. and here I sit on the edge of the cliff waiting to be dashed on the rocks.

What amuses me is the number of people who believe that our most expensive health care system in the world, by far, that doesn't give us the best results, our life expectancy in the US has been dropping for the past 3 years is the way to go. Think about that. The richest nation on earth is one of the only industrialized nations whose life expectancy is falling.

It was a mistake for Dems to change the name from single payer to Medicare for all because basically no candidate is proposing Medicare for all.

I live in Pa. and a few years ago Highmark and UPMC were feuding. A lot of people in Pa. have Highmark insurance and they couldn't go to UPMC in network. I am on Medicare and I could go to UPMC or any other hospital in Pittsburgh.
