Wenn die Dems Trump schlagen wollen, sollten sie Medicare für alle annehmen

„‚We can’t *pay* for it!!!“

„We can if we actually tax millionaires and billionaires.“

„But then they’ll leave!“

„Right. Absolutely no downside.“

Dems need to step up for sure but….

1/3 of our population are greedy, selfish, racists, that are morally bankrupt and child raping enablers.  

If Republican voters actually want their taxes to go towards things that benefit them as taxpayers, they should stop voting for Republicans.

>There already are large numbers of immigrants working in healthcare in the United States.

I have a female Chinese immigrant doctor who is the sweetest thing. I grew up with American male doctors who were arrogant assholes who didn’t listen to me.

And not in the article, but I hear this bullshit that „Medicare for all means Medicare for none.“

Bull-fucking-shit.

There are countries that have basic healthcare for everyone. AND one can in fact buy additional insurance under those programs. It’s not all or nothing.

Until things change, I wish potential employees would ask employers about healthcare. What are the benefits? That shitty? Well, I’ll go somewhere else.

That doesn’t happen because they go after the young people who don’t think about it because they’re healthy. It promotes ageism. Get’em young and no healthcare!

It’s sick and twisted here that healthcare is mostly tied to employment. The ACA and exchanges (Obamacare) was a good start but we need more.

Get in. Ram that shit through. Let Americans experience no medical debt or medical bankruptcy for 4 years and it becomes political suicide to suggest it’s removal in the next admin.

There is no excuse for the next Democratic administration for not getting this done.

You only have to do it once.

Hey, I’ve seen this one before. It’s a classic!

Omg this is tone deaf. This is just something that should automatically be on the platform but this is NOT what will beat Trump. Democrats need to stop being a bunch weak pansies and show some damn strength. People need to beleive that democrats are strong enough to beat back the fascists and look at this party right now. Does anyone out there have any faith in THIS version of the democratic party when the only two people truly fighting against Trump are 83 year old independent Bernie Sanders and AOC, who has been ostracized by the old guard party leadership? That’s pathetic.

What are the rest even doing? Some are voting with and capitulating to the fascists while most are just throwing their hands up and saying „what can we even do?“.. I watched republicans use their minorities to block everything meaningful for four years yet democrats could have filibustered Trump’s power grab and shut down the government but gave him everything on a fucking silver platter instead. And shame on the voters for seeing these weak pieces of shit fail us for over a decade now and STILL keep voting in the same old useless assholes.

I’ll say this to the dem voting base for 2026. If you rubes still just vote in the same old people, by again NOT participating in primaries to make better choices, the you all deserve this Trump takeover. I want to see 70% of dems in the house replaced next year and do your homework to make sure they are actually decent people and not just someone who was a republican a year ago, switched their party for the election, and they change back to republican once in power because that has happened TOO many times in recent memory with no recourse on holding the liars accountable.

So if the dems want to beat Trump, the voters have to pick newer and better dems because right now 90% of the party are useless sorry sacks of shit. We move on from them or we get what we deserve. Period.

And literally hand republicans all control over health care when they win the presidency again? Is Common Dreams completely fucking brain dead? Empowering the next RFK Jr is insane.

Not confident in them to push it. It seems like America just likes flushing money down the drain lol.

Medicare for all needs to be the end goal, not the first step.

You know that there are still premiums for Medicare and it certainly doesn’t cover everything. The drug plans suck and there is zero dental coverage.

I’m a federal employee with ‚good‘ coverage. I’m working full time but my medical debt keeps climbing. I shouldn’t have to quit my good paying job where i contribute to society in order to stay human/alive. Chronic conditions are so much more stressful when you have to worry about insurance and paying.

The mainline Democratic party leadership has repeatedly shown they will prioritize their allies over Americans and American democracy.

They lost 2 out of 3 contests against him and both losses the writing on the wall was there, the voters were loud and clear.

If they wanted to embrace the electorate to save the nation they would have had ample opportunity. While protests were erupting around the county, they plowed forward with their policies. I don’t think they’re going to suddenly break with their donors now.

SPELL OUT EXACTLY WHY IT WILL BENEFIT EVERYONE AT A SIXTH GRADE READING LEVEL OR BELOW. Illustrate it clearly. Medicare has its faults but overall a good program. Society in general has many misconceptions of how healthcare really works. Explain EMTALA.

Universal Healthcare is cheaper than our current system

YES PLZ.

I am so SICK and TIRED of having to go to the doctor and constantly think about how much XYZ costs. It’s super annoying. Plus there is no centralized database of my healthcare anywhere, so each time I have to request info from one insurance company to the next! Super obnoxious.

I also hate how private insurance through my employer keeps my wages lower, cause the insurance costs keep increasing. It needs to stop!

Democrats should restore the social contract vis-a-vis entitlements. Tax people, use that to lower the cost of living by providing a common baseline for support with affordable housing, affordable food, affordable utilities, affordable healthcare, and affordable education.

WHOA. How do we know an incredibly popular program that has worked for decades would continue to work and be incredibly popular?

We would save SO Much money and I don’t give a flying fuck about the insurance companies going out of business.

I’m going to go on a lunatic rant so feel free to ignore me or down vote me to oblivion. Neither republicans nor democrats actually give two shits about their average constituent. They cater to the billionaire class and they always have.

If there is one thing Trump has done is show us exactly how easy it would be to implement actual beneficial changes to our society. Trumps and the republicans have forced through all sorts of hugely unpopular shit and honestly they have made it look easy. Imagine for just a second if democrats had put half that effort into passing Medicare for all, increasing the minimum wage or fully funding education. The fact that that the average worker is worse off now than they were thirty years ago only proves that we are governed by the rich for the rich. For the last four decades we, the average citizen of this country, have been frogs placed in water which has slowly been brought to a boil. The upper, upper class is squeezing every drop they can from us and it’s not happening on accident. It’s all part of the plan.

Even the emergence of Trump and the MAGA movement feels like an orchestrated move. The fact is once he has been removed, everyone, myself included, will feel nothing but relief, gratitude and goodwill to our next corporate overload as this goodwill will allow them to crank up that heat just few more degrees to our already boiling hot pot.
