    He was a person with a deep sense of empathy and clear passion for improving access to care.

    The more they say this shit, the more working folk wake up what this is really about.

      Anyone who believes health insurance is about healthcare is deeply blessed to have not had to use it before.

      It’s an industry built on denying care.

        When you right wing nut friends are gloating with you as left wing nut, you know that these “leaders” fucked up big time.

        I never seen such alignment within my life time.

        Christmas is finally gonna be a proper family affair too!

          There’s actually way more agreement than people think about what’s broken in society and the causes of it, at least at a surface level. The problem is our differing views on how to fix it all.

          At the same time, how is it the right-wingers hate health insurance companies so much that they support the assassination of one of the CEOs… but they don’t support universal health care?

          Probably for the same reason a bunch of people voted to protect abortion while using the same ballot to elect the guy who got the protection taken away in the first place.

        All insurance is built on denying payouts. That’s the entire mechanism by which they extract profit.
