Dr. Don McCanne compares our convoluted method of determining drug prices to that of Taiwan. Not surprisingly, #SinglePayer systems have the kind of leverage and cost control options that we can only dream of. bit.ly/2Y7f0Q5

I am going re-introduce Medicare for all in the Senate in a few weeks. But before I do, I want to ask you to something important: add your name as a citizen co-sponsor of the bill today.

Ultimately, the choice is up to us. I choose vigilance over acceptance. Unity over division. Diligence over apathy. Empathy over intolerance. Truth over lies. Hope over helplessness. And love over hate.

Absolutely correct!
Shame on @nytimes The Daily podcast for twice citing the cost of #MedicareForAll without comparing to our system's current cost. If we're going to talk about this issue, let's lay out all of the facts and be honest with listeners.

How can we call this a civilized society when some Americans have access to the best medical care in the world and others are unable to walk into a doctor’s office because they lack money?

Marva Wade of @nynurses speaking to a full house on why nurses are fighting for #MedicareForAll: “As a former OR nurse, the last thing you want to hear on the worst day of your life is that your insurance won’t cover your care — a delay that could mean life or death.”

Even billionaires are acknowledging it, folks. When 40% of Americans can’t afford basic needs, or a $400 emergency, the problem isn’t unique. It’s systemic. That’s not good for anyone. Even billionaires know they can’t shield themselves from this kind of perilous instability.
