I’ve been arguing this for a while with family and friends and am finally glad to see this argument being articulated in the MSM:
Universal Healthcare is PRO SMALL BUSINESS and good for the economy!!

You may not understand why, but the healthcare insurance and PBM contracts YOU have signed for Tesla, SpaceX , @X, along with CEOs of other big companies , have more impact on healthcare costs and quality of care in this country, than anything you can do with DOGE

"But how will Big Pharma do the R&D for new big discoveries?!"
Newsflash: they don't.
Heard about those hot GLP-1 treatments? Yeah, all Big Pharma did was race to patent a bunch of highly similar chemicals, the very last step of R&D.
Y'know who funded the real research to get there?
Taxpayers.
Newsflash: they don't.

I have a sports metaphor story for this!
I have a younger brother who was a very competitive baseball player as a kid. Was on all the local travel & developmental squads.
One of his coaches had a very interesting and counterintuitive (to me) philosophy of the game, as it was played at that level.

This does not mean “don’t worry about it,” or even that “it’s just a distraction.”
It means fight, delay, push back, express doubt, and do anything you can to remind anyone who’ll listen that Trump and Trumpers threaten all sorts of things and hope you’ll jump out of the way.
Don’t forfeit.

Have you ever watched a baby die of pertussis? I have.
This is what it looks like:
A newborn baby can’t stop coughing. They can’t catch their breath. They can’t eat. They get dehydrated and stop peeing. They sometimes have pauses in their breathing. Parents are terrified so they come to the ER.
