Would we be better off with Vance? Either through impeachment or natural causes?

Exactly… makes us wonder who’s side most of them are on.
Then there’s 83 yr old Bernie out there fighting so hard for us. Along with AOC, Jasmine, and a handful of others.. not Jeffries or Schumer.

Conversion to universal health care should include a plan to increase capacity: doctors, clinics, rural hospitals

You give him far too much credit. Everytime I see him speak, he furrows those brows like he's trying to sound intelligent. He reminds me of someone who doesn't understand basic math or logic.

Sora w/prompt: A video of a tense and surreal moment at a baseball stadium. A pitcher walks off the mound at Dodger Stadium after striking out a batter. As he heads toward the dugout, several uniformed agents wearing “ICE” jackets approach from the sideline and stop him to check documents.

Social Security is fixable. Medicare is fixable. So is Medicaid. Student loans are fixable. Health care is fixable. Without raising taxes. Democrats should develop plans and sell to the voting public.

For Senate? Not Allred. He can move a couple of miles and run against Beth Van Duyne.

Unlikely one line, but if it was already pre-hacked, then just change:
BallotFlip = 0
to
BallotFlip = 1
If I was hacking though, I would have put logic in to self-destruct the hack at Voting closing time.

1/not what happens in Canada. 2/Specialists get paid more, 3/Some specialists (e.g., plastic surgeon, specialty dermatology), typically relied on out-of-network, inflated reimbts, & rich cash payers ==>less revenue, 4/a good system grows capacity: more docs, shorter waits, stronger rural hospitals

It might be unpopular, but I sometimes think that the ACA was just so over-complicated it delayed getting to full universal healthcare.

in the south, we add: "upside da head", as in "he got walloped upside da head". And IIRC, HS cheerleaders: "wop, wop, side da head, I said wop, wop side da head"

I can see it now:
(1) Why can't AI replace this Cobol stuff?
(2) Why's it so expensive? Can't my intern just vibe-code it?
(3) What do you mean, MVP? President Trump is MVP.
(4) Can't we just get a bunch of Google people in here to knock it out in a week?
(5) I remember the ACA rollout.
Good luck!

The "billing chaos" goes away. Drs able to focus on patients. Less time spent on the business, more billable time. Also, the aggregate volume will increase, due to people who now delay, but would then go to the doc.
The only ones who "lose" are those docs who overbill and game the ins coding system

Hospitals and doctor offices don’t need to become nonprofits. They would be paid standardized rates through a national system. Profit margins might shrink. Efficient, high-quality healthcare businesses would still thrive without billing chaos. "Insurance profit" though, gotta go.

A new National Health Plan would be best run by a new agency, independent, but federally chartered, like the Fed. HHS still has a part, with regulatory standards, fraud protection, etc...

Serving undocumented people with universal HC in place is not difficult to imagine: cover basic, emergency, preventive, and contagious disease treatment, but not elective or long term. Plus create Healthcare Reciprocity with other countries like Canada, Mexico, EU.

No, hospitals don’t need to become nonprofits. All hospitals, nonprofit or for-profit, would be paid standardized rates through a national system. Profit margins may shrink. Efficient, high-quality hospitals would be just fine without billing chaos.

Agreed, but universal health care does not imply Medicare rates.

Someone will surely take that code and create a site with value-adds. Freemium or something similar.

Any details that you can share for level of complexity? Who developed it (gov direct or subs or big consulting) Lines of code. Tech stack? How did dev compare to the original ACA fiasco? #curious

You want to bring down corporate tax? Then implement universal healthcare.

Disappointing, honestly, to see you reporting and sharing this image, which just normalizes the use of this language and desensitizes people to it.
