The climate crisis is global. So, drastic situation calls for drastic measures. No argument (except from the fossil fuel lobby, who should go suck on an exhaust pipe). YES
Having recently transitioned from the for-profit health insurance three-card-monte system to Medicare, I wish that everyone had this kind of coverage. And to those who point to the many thousands of health insurance companies' employees who would be suddenly unemployed, I'd suggest they divert their hand-wringing and pearl-clutching to our fellow citizens who are bankrupted by unforeseen medical expenses. Those employees with marketable job skills will do just fine. Life and property insurance policies are not threatened. Yet. YES.
And regarding gun control, recent intel about how Russia has been funneling money through the NRA into the dirty-money coffers of election campaigns will eventually turn the tide against them. But how many more school shootings will it take to wake people the fuck up? FUCK YES: a national emergency is warranted here too.
