Old movie fan- Ozu is incredible, yet still enjoy madcap performances like Parker Posey as Jackie O., or Turturro’s Romance & cigarettes! No DM’s! Not interested in crypto- etc..

THEY see it. That's why they hate M4A. Not being able to tie people to their company for health insurance would mean they'd have to pay a living wage.

American living in Germany, I do not find this to be true. I’ve had to get appointments here without insurance and with, public and private, and have experienced no difference in treatment or wait times. However in the States I have had to wait months to see the obgyn and opted for PP walk-in hours

Ah, Reagan.

See the US line in this chart? Know when it started its split from the rest of the first world countries? I’ll give you one guess.

Please tell me why an insurance VP makes millions why the GP in his system, is forced to see a patient every 12 minutes, and is paid under 200k. This is why most GP’s became private. Health insurance is inefficient & costly- it’s a remnant of a different era- price controls and a war economy.

I think your piece on her book describes her interview with Tim Miller. I had no interest in the book after listening to her evasive interview.

And Musk? Thiel? Zuckerberg? We don’t need billionaires we need National Health care. If they were just multimillionaires, we’d have enough. We need Medicare for all- the doctors who reported negatively on the Canadian system admitted they LIED!

Our investigation showed that levels of benzene, a cancer-causing gas, were 37x higher than what the facility reported in the past.

The Trump admin has halted efforts to monitor for benzene near large industrial plants like this one, leaving communities in the dark about the air they breathe. (2/2)
Air Pollution From Industrial Facilities Is Far Worse Than Estimated
The Trump administration has put a stop to EPA rules that would have required more than 130 industrial facilities to install air monitors to measure pollution. Millions of people living near these…
