Private health insurance expenses increased 61.6% per person between 2008 and 2022, more than 20% faster than expenses for Medicare enrollees. If we're going to make cuts, let's eliminate the corporate middleman and make #MedicareForAll

Just want to reiterate: Be in this for the long haul. Don’t let Trump destroy your mental health. Don’t be outraged by every outrage. Channel your anger into productive actions and take breaks from politics.
