Healthcare is indeed a human right. American health care is expensive. That is not just an insurance problem it's a system problem.

In Trump's world you can't spell Justice without "ICE".

This would either be the best or the worst prison based television show ever.

I am hoping that a really good attorney that would normally cost lots has room in their pro bono space to help defend this man.

I may want it, and you might want it. But not everyone wants to pay for you to have it. We have become Avery selfish society that doesn't always care about the needs of others.

Obviously, nobody has ever "thought" about the great idea before. It's the greatest idea ever thought about.

I'm on Eliquis for life I think. I sure hope the generic gets allowed in the US soon. Great to hear about the doc. I was very fortunate there as well.

Yeah, I would wake up with a heart rate of 180. Totally sucks. Ablation is a piece of cake. The suite where mine were done was very cool. Best of luck to you.

Yeah, AFib is the best. I've had my heart stopped 3 times, cardioversion twice, and 2 ablations. The beta blockers keep my heart rate at 60 bpm, but I'm on the other side of all the treatment stuff, and life goes on.

If health care in the US is going to change the whole economics of health care will need to change.

Medicare for all is a great notion, but the headwinds are really about the actual cost of health care in the US. Many health care professionals are already moving to concierge practice and the insurance world because of reimbursement. Medicare reimburses less.

Thanks again for sending me the Issues link. Just read through the material and I appreciate where you are standing on these important issues.

Thanks for sending this link. I had gone to the previous one and just got the page.

Okay, I read the article, visited your web "page" (because it's literally a page) and I don't know anything about what you really believe in or what you will actually want to do in Congress. Giving away stuff from money people donated to you for your campaign is nice, but explains little.

Kat, I know you're an influencer and all, but if you want my vote (and I'm in your district) you need to do some serious work related to what you really believe in.

I know this is not normal or what should happen, but what would it take for the progressive billionaires (and some millionaires) to build a fund to privately support these science and health related research? Not corporate decisions, but a real foundation?

I have voted in nearly every election (national and local, presidential years and off year) I was eligible for since the 1970s. Of course I voted in November. And I'm not a straight party voter. I try and understand what people stand for and what they want to do with my vote.

Have you met us? I think maybe Pete Buttigeig could meet that call, and certainly he is unafraid to talk and challenge the Right. But that is a list of one.

He halted delivery of bombs and ammunition to the IDF. He continued to actively work for a permanent cease fire. He rebuked Israel for their actions multiple times. I know - it wasn't enough. But the solution now is to turn Gaza into a casino.

Most likely. All they needed was someone in the WH who was just as excited about the idea.

Actually, no she wasn't. The VP serves under the President in this democracy when it's functioning. Biden didn't do enough - true. But he was working to provide humanitarian aid to Gaza, and supported a two state solution. Harris was being a "good VP" while running for President.

So, the measle outbreak was not Trump's fault, but the response and the spread absolutely is. Dismantling HHS and the CDC showed a very quick impact, and really showed us in real time the important work they have done.

But, we invented... Ummm ... shovels .. yeah .... and canals (of course), and we were always known for the best canals. I've heard many people say "the US makes the best canals". So they are ours. Everyone knows that.

Face it - FoxNues doesn't care about trans people using public bathrooms. But the Right propaganda machine knew it would be an easy story they could sell to their audience, and the Dems would trip all over, hemming about, incapable of saying the simple truth of the reality of the issue.
