      Ernst’s “we’re all going to die” response says the quiet part out loud. When leaders start talking like this, it signals a shift: the vulnerable are seen not as people to protect, but as costs to cut. As AI and automation replace workers, some in power seem disturbingly comfortable with a future where the poor, elderly, and disabled just… disappear.

      I’m retired, living simply, and I refuse to believe this is the best we can do. A humane society doesn’t balance its books by letting people die. If your policy only works without the weak, it’s not policy. It’s eugenics in slow motion.

      Millions are working 40+ hours and still qualifying for Medicaid.

      But Senators could fix that by tripling the federal minimum wage from $7.25 to $21.75. and creating a Medicaid buy-in plan where employers could pay for their employees and their families inclusion in Medicaid.

      With two easy actions, every worker would have healthcare and a living wage…

      Yes and the insurance we get for those jobs have insane premiums and $5000 deductibles, so we are basically paying for the privilege of paying full price for our healthcare.

      So while not in session, politicians should use health insurance from another source?

      The status of healthcare is easily measured by the health individuals in other developed countries and how much it costs each country. The USA pays out the most, by far and close to 20 countries get better outcomes than we do. Thune is wrong – which is why he has to use platitudes and lies to justify his position. Also, having private corporations pay unnecessary middlemen, (private insurers) to provide health insurance – it burdens businesses with costs others business abroad don’t pay. It a oppresses our workers by forcing them to stay in jobs to keep their health insurance (at least until they get fired)

      People like this need to be removed from power, authority, wealth and privilege.

      They are fraudsters that live off the profit of others. Cancer.

      The best healthcare is firing all these Senators and electing some that do care!

      A job is not healthcare. You have to take time off work to go get healthcare (and pay thousands in deductibles).

      While Republicans also advocate firing hundreds of thousands of people all at once

      Another „Let them eat cake.“ moment from a GOP senator.

      Universal healthcare would lift these cost off the business owner and place them on society, making US prices more competitive. How can he fail to see this?

      This is from a politician who gets his health care as a perk of his job with the taxpayers picking up the majority of the cost.
