So few people even think this is a problem. Most don't know and those who do largely approve, being 'pro-business' and all.

This is the reason for Sears issues, and was Toys R Us demise. So many companies have this issue. Purchased, and raided for their real estate, value, etc. I known this won’t get solved anytime soon with you know who in the White House. 

In my lifetime, I honestly never thought it could get this bad...

They just don’t want to create winners and losers you know! Especially if a poor person getting to see a doctor is winning and a rich person becoming slightly less rich is a loser.

Because Pelosi gets rich off of medical businesses. Do some research and you’ll see a massive amount of her vast wealth is tied into healthcare-related stocks.

This kind of backroom dealing is what gave Trump the oxygen to ascend in the first place. He hit Clinton on it, and discouraged as many Dem votes as he encouraged votes for him. In the year of our lord 2019 corporate money and support from the progressive base any Dem would need to get elected are now mutually…

I’ll be honest that I didn’t know what it was (although I inferred bad). That video exceeded expectations. Spectacular. I would very much like to see Cardi do that to Tomi. Very very very much. 

I was thinking, as I read the tweets about this, where I was 10 years ago on this date...

I thought the Subway guy was in jail? 

We’ve been on that path ever since Joe Wilson heckled Obama during the State of the Union address in 2010. 

The GOP call for civility should be coming...any...minute...nooooow.....

1) Yes, I’m not going to take a Koch-funded “study” seriously.

It’s Troll Central whenever this topic seems to come up. And you are sure right — study and after study shows that Americans pay 1/3 more than others for doctor’s fees, 1/3 more than others for drugs, and 1/3 more than others for hospital care.  1/3 of everything we spend every year is a lot of damn money!  Very…

Ummm you’d pay for it with taxes. It would reduce the amount of money people spend on health insurance right now...
