Can we PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SKIP M4A?
Let's not reserve a place for the insurance industry. We already tried that--Obamacare.
Let's expand the VA and nationalize all hospitals, ambulances, etc. The VA already trains nearly 70% of our physicians!
Let's expand this system, not insurance! #VA4All

I think we CAN have it, if we demand it. We have to be willing to be in the streets, mount a general strike, elect FAR LEFT leaders at every level of govt., and educate ourselves about the FACT that fed taxes do NOT FUND FED SPENDING. Thus, higher taxes are not necessary for nice things!

Further, bc we see what happens when laws don't have specific remedies and penalties, the statute must stipulate that ANY INDIVIDUAL (regardless of citizenship status) is deemed to be injured if the law is violated and has standing to sue to force the govt to comply and recoup all legal fees.

But isn't that the point of an oath--to follow it even when it's hard hard? As a 20+yr public servant, I'm currently facing losing my job bc I stood up to a Trump-wanna-be mayor who is terrorizing staff, threatening other elected officials, and sowing corruption. It's a steep price. But its my job!
