There is a lot of great universal systems around the world.
Germany, Australia, France, Singapore and so forth
To bring up any of these that are ranked higher and less cost - seem to stump them because each of these have a private element and includes a level of choice
If you can afford it- there is some cost to the user in most
In Australia the fact that Hugh Jackman maybe opting for private insurance bothers them.
Although Australia automatically covers every citizen
This feature is awesome for its universality but also realistic
What I am understanding from them its less about universal healthcare in their love of single-payer and more about social engineering.
They want to aim for the idea of a rich person sitting in the same waiting room as them- as an objective even if it means building weaknesses in
At this point in what seems like a million conversations I have had with Berners whose clear aim is social engineering and less healthcare
- that rich people still have money and doctors take money.
Removing private insurance doesn’t remove private billing. We have that now

If you can sense the tone of my tweets, my patience for this nonsense is long gone. I’ve been politically active since I was 16—back in high school, I’d give friends birthday cards with a voter registration application attached.
So I have decades of working with new voters. There is a difference here.
The advent of the internet - created the sense - that this is the American civics' square.
It is not. You need to canvas, go to a townhalls, listen to voters--meet people where they are.
The American left found an online community and validated every real and imagined idea about politics—without any real-world connection. If they had any genuine link to actual voters, they would’ve adjusted their ideology by now. But they don’t.
Greens- Democrats prevent Green party candidate by blocking ballot access
Me- That is the rhetorical argument of the dog ate my homework
🧵
Democrats lack the capacity to block Green Party candidates from every Alderman, City Council, and State representative position. Despite these opportunities, Green Party representation is scarce, suggesting laziness as the likely reason.
Not that they are being prevented
And if the green party had a bench of local state representatives seats - no one could block them at viable runs for mayor, governor, Congress -the typical jumping off point for higher office
They would also understand and have an operation to advance passed the procedural hurdles
Descending into name calling, bullying and dog whistles because the Vice President won't validate your sense of importance -is making her point that your inclusion in her campaign is not necessary.
Self Awareness is to recognize 2016 - was not long ago.
We are Americans - a free and fair press is the cornerstone of our Democracy
But lately, you look bought and tainted --in 2016 while you failed to vet Trump you over emphasize Sec Clinton's emails well after that story legally relevant
The concentration on MVP Harris to provide detailed policy analysis when you have never so much as posed a follow up Question to Trump - smells.
It smells to even Republican women as coded nasty gatekeeping language.
I fell for it and clicked (@patrickhealynyt
Patrick Healey of the @nytimes @DougJBalloon knows damn well he has never spent one day working to win a campaign. He wouldn’t know what it would take to win for a PTA opening.
He define her as “not being tested”
The current Vice President
@jayjay827 @patrickhealynyt @nytimes @DougJBalloon A woman who has two decades of elected office to progressively higher positions he is trying to say is untested
A woman who orchestrated a month long rollout in a flawless maneuver- showing she learned from her previously mistake
@jayjay827 @patrickhealynyt @nytimes @DougJBalloon I also put myself through the stress of watching @jonstewart and @billmaher
And they both with the small crowd size energy articulate why Madam Vice President Kamala Harris bothers them
She doesn’t need them and they weren’t the gatekeepers that opened the door
This is a conversation with my very far left- whose allyship sees police as the enemy and prosecutors as evil.
Let's discuss because while your intentions come from a good place- they are toxic and paternalistic.
My dream, as any other American dream is to find a home and a community that is prosperous, safe, beautiful and filled with people who are engaging and kind.
My government pays a roll in the public safety I receive- and that is a critical part of that formula.
I am asking my government to treat me the way they treat you, with care, inquiry when they are unsure of the situation and respect for whichever end of the process.
