Now is the time to insist on Medicare for All.

1. Ha. The GOP wants to get their hands on the Medicare funds.

They are on a crime spree and won't be stopped.

[sheshe2]

2. Where is the bill?

Right now it is just a slogan.

[AntivaxHunters]

3. There's bills in both the House and Senate

[sheshe2]

4. Do you have a link to those?

and why they haven't come up for a vote?

[AntivaxHunters]

5. Links

I do not know why.

Senate bill

House bill

[sheshe2]

22. Thanks 😊

[AntivaxHunters]

24. You're very welcome

Have a most wonderful Saturday

14. We don't have the votes sheshe2...we need to work our asses off to win the next election. That

is all we can do at this moment.

16. We can also not pay medical bills, might be time for a massive medical debt strike

Not paying.

[Demsrule86]

19. Again, that is not really possible. If you don't pay then no medical treatment. We could have

no-spend days or weeks though. That can be effective.

21. Will this happen before or after the "general strike" that nobody ever seems to organize?

[sheshe2]

23. Okay thanks

I hear you.

6. A more difficult time than ever to achieve.

Since procedures which are legal in some states are now expressly illegal in others.

Medicare for All presumes uniformity across the system, which is now quite literally impossible.

7. +1

I'd like to see reporters question nazi party members and ask how women are going to be able to afford to give birth to all these babies when we don't have universal healthcare.

[iemanja]

8. Right. Now is the perfect time

Because Dems have such an easy time passing legislation in the current climate.

[emulatorloo]

9. Yes I definitely want my healthcare in the hands of psycho Republicans and Trump's Supreme Court

You are aware that Republicans are planning to gut medicare and the rest of the safety net if they win the midterms, right?

[brooklynite]

10. Because why?

[ck4829]

17. Why pay medical bills at all?

[brooklynite]

20. I'm responding to the "now is the time" comment.

No explanation as to why it is.

And needless to say, President Biden hasn't changed his opinion on this.

[mcar]

11. .....

[AntivaxHunters]

12. I absolutely agree

especially after the statistics which just came out that M4A would have saved over 200,000 lives during the Covid pandemic.

13. No it isn't...and we haven't got the majorities to insist on anything...now is the time for voting.

We need to improve the ACA...not start an entirely new program.

[ck4829]

15. K&R. Enlightening. Now I see why I people avoided my post

Because I pre-emptively typed "And don't say 'we don't have the votes'"

18. I think it's time we stop paying medical bills

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

25. The Repubs would twist it into "Medicare-C" for all.
