So if you didn't depend on employer provider healthcare, what would you rather be doing. I might open a small camping sales and rental shop that also sold local craft beer and we would do tastings and trip planning seminars. It would be called "Beer&Gear". Respond with your ideas. #MedicareForAll

Can we stop trying to move our candidates to the "center" and start messaging that our liberal positions are center everywhere else? Can anyone name a country where the party of the right took over and got rid of nationalized healthcare?

Al Gore pitched a sovereign wealth fund once, but he called it a “lockbox.”
And it existed bc they’d taxed the wealthy a tiny bit, balanced the budget and had a surplus.
And he only wanted the fund to protect Social Security for Americans who weren’t millionaires.
So the GOP mocked it.
