#DemDebate: OK, here's write-ups on all 6 candidates' healthcare plans. Remember, ALL OF THEM would vastly EXPAND coverage, REDUCE enrollee costs and PROTECT coverage of pre-existing conditions!

First up, of course, is @BernieSanders' "pure" #M4All:

acasignups.net/19/04/10/updat…
#DemDebate: Here's @JoeBiden's healthcare plan; basically a robust ACA upgrade with a Public Option added (#ACA2wPO):

acasignups.net/19/07/19/joe-b…
#DemDebate: @Ewarren was "with Bernie on healthcare" for awhile and still wants his ultimate "pure" M4All in the end, but she's since decided to split it into a 2-part process: acasignups.net/19/11/19/incon…
#DemDebate: @PeteButtigieg's plan is very similar to Biden's, but with some tweaks: acasignups.net/19/09/19/pete-…
#DemDebate: @AmyKlobuchar doesn't have a single, comprehensive healthcare proposal, but she has a collection of proposals which overlap heavily with many aspects of both Biden & Buttigieg: acasignups.net/19/11/08/what-…
#DemDebate: Finally, @MikeBloomberg's plan is also similar to Biden's, but a bit weaker in terms of limiting deductibles, but it's still pretty strong: acasignups.net/20/02/19/mike-…

The House *PASSED* a Public Option. It was killed in the Senate by Lieberman. Then Kennedy died & a Republican won his seat. Since the Senate version w/out the PO had passed before Kennedy died, the Dems had no choice but to go with that. That's not a "failure of negotiation".
And as a reminder, guess who took that same Senate seat back from the Republican shortly thereafter? That's right: Elizabeth Warren.

This whole thread by @RyanGrim is appalling and cuts to the core of why I've gone from *liking* Bernie in January 2016 to pretty much despising him today (and yes, I'll still vote for him, donate a few bucks & encourage others to vote for him if he's the nominee). 1/
I'm well aware of how the Overton Window works. I know there's a big difference between the poetry of campaigning and the prose of governing. I also know that Bernie Sanders understands the distinction--he's been a member of Congress or a Senator for 30 years, for God's sake. 2/
My problem with Bernie--and with a significant chunk of his supporters--is NOT that they push for Big Sweeping Progressive Reform. I may not think his "pure" M4All bill is the right solution to push at this particular time, but I'm perfectly fine w/them pushing for it. 3/

📣 The Republican Party has now made it very clear that they’re willing to let democracy itself die in order to cling to power.

Here’s eight ways to help make sure that doesn’t happen.

Well, THAT was mostly appalling. #SOTU (Thread)
Just like the fortune he inherited from his dad, @realDonalTrump still won’t acknowledge that he inherited a strengthening economy from @BarackObama. #SOTU
All that @realDonaldTrump’s tax scam accomplished was making rich people richer while working families keep struggling to make ends meet. #SOTU

1- Two persuasion tactics in one tweet:

1- Branding: "Mini Mike Bloomberg", lol.
2- Thinking Past the Sale: The sale is "1) "I was the person who saved Pre-Existing Conditions", and 2) "...that I have now brought (your healthcare) to the best place in many years.."
2- The think past the sale is focuisng debate on who will make healthcare even better than it is now, with the planted assumptions of pre-existing conditions off the table & healthcare is currently the best it's ever been.
3- If the Dems / jounos accept framing the debate this way, then mission accomplished for Trump. He will have announced GOP capitulation on ever messing with pre-existing conditions, without appearing to capitulate at all (We "saved" it, and we will continue to "fight" for it).

Here's a primer on HIPAA - the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. In light of Facebook rolling out their "preventative health" feature, I thought this information might be useful. THREAD 1/?
Hey! Welcome to HIPAA, passed in 1996 by Bill Clinton's administration. Even if you're GOP, you should be incredibly grateful because HIPAA is a powerful measure that protects your sensitive health information. 2/
Every time you go to see a new doc, they're all up in your grill to sign a HIPAA form. Damn forms. You just sign them. Time to learn what you're signing. HIPAA does FIVE things. Let's start with HEALTH INSURANCE. 3/

Welcome to the Member of Congress Tracking Report for the week ending November 10, 2019. With Congress on recess this week, we are going to do things a bit differently this week. We are going to take a dive into #McConnellsGraveyard.
#MoCTrack 1/33
bit.ly/34FD5jk
#GOP keeps trotting out their tired talking point about the “do-nothing-Dems” and all we can concentrate on is #Impeachment.

NOT TRUE.

What you’ll find below are 30 bills of the 300+ that #McConnell has stalled in the Senate.

#MoCTrack #DemCast 2/33
demcastusa.com/2019/11/10/mit…
HR 1 - #ForThePeople

A bill that would improve voting rights, fix campaign finance regulations, and mandate ethics and accountability reforms.
💯 over 100 co-sponsors (236)

@realDonaldTrump #Tuesdaythoughts on #healthcare (tangent style):

You, President Trump, have clearly made some progress in understanding some of the issues with the ACA (despite your failure to realize it was originally a plan devised by the Federalist Society ie Barr/Kavanaugh types). 1/
@realDonaldTrump Nonetheless, you have correctly identified (a) #premiums (b) #deductibles and (c) coverage for pre existing conditions as key issues to address. Indeed.
2/
@realDonaldTrump Plus, the kicker for me at least is to make #PPO plans available to everyone not just for those who get their health plans through their employer (in sum, #HMO/EPO/POS = 👎; PPO = 👍 ....

If you, like me, cannot point to a single thing @RepFrenchHill has done for the benefit of his constituents in #AR2 then you owe it to yourself and everyone else in the seven county area to vote for @clarketucker this November. #arpx #Vote #Midterms2018
.@RepFrenchHill has voted to end coverage for pre-existing conditions. He doesn't care whether or not you can afford to see a doctor, or even if your health insurance will cover a visit. He does not care about #Arkansans #AR2 #ByeFrench #VoteThemOut #arpx
.@RepFrenchHill supports @realDonaldTrump #ConcentrationCamps for migrant children, infants, and toddlers. He refuses to speak up about these egregious #HumanRights violations. #Arkansas deserves a better, more humane representative in #AR2 - @clarketucker is that person! #Vote
