Surprised he didn’t say Kenya.  “Just look what happened when some guy from Kenya’s kid became President!”

The numbers quoted are $49 T with the current system, and $32.6 T with Medicare for all. That’s 33% less. And we get the added productivity of everyone having preventive care, no medical bankruptcies, mass bargaining power with Pharma and suppliers, and having the only morally acceptable system.  Incomprehensible that…

Ok, thanks.

“we are also studying the economic costs and the impact on growth.”

Don’t know what M4A is. So if it’s an emergency and you can’t pay for an ambulance what happens? Do they try to determine ability to pay before they take you? Do they take everyone then send a bill? What if you can’t or don’t pay the bill?  Just curious.  I’m not one of those hung up on systems in France or the UK or…

Whereas in the US you can be denied an emergency ambulance ride because they’re unsure if you can pay for it. Then you die.

Saw that $32 T headline and my first thought was “Ok, and what’s the cost without medicare for all?”

All I can say is thank you.  I’m so hungry now...

I don’t doubt Sulzberger felt he needed to meet with Trump, but no one can have any delusions that he’s anything but a deeply pathological, narcissistic psychopath minus the usual charm. He couldn’t care less about protecting the lives of journalists, and has no capacity to comprehend democratic ideals or respect for…

“You can’t make better plays than this!”

The agreement he has with Putin is that to protect the dirt Putin has on him, and to continue guaranteeing the future wealth he’s been promised, Trump needs to do all he can to maintain Russia’s access to interference in our elections, among other concessions.

This was the original unedited version.

First saw “rocket” on a hand written menu board in a bistro in Paris. Got out my handy Google Translate to see what that was, and it came back smartly with the English translation “rocket”. :(

Cohen says several other people were present when Trump was told about the meeting. Shouldn’t be hard to put them under oath and see what they say.

There’s no question there are deep, serious systemic problems with our criminal justice system, and some cops, and some entire forces in some locations are corrupt or abusing their power. Your generalizations and mass categorization of every individual and department in the country is a mistake. And it’s not an…

You sound like a Russian bot trying to maximize dissent. Some cops are no doubt bad, but proclaiming them all flat out scum is stupid, and will only make things worse. Being hate crazy isn’t an effective strategy.

Thanks. I assumed there must be a different dynamic at play. I’ve watched some of the PMQs and wish our Presidents were required to face that type of regular interrogation.

I just wish we had journalists who would nail these politicians foot to the floor with a railroad spike and a sledge hammer, and not let them twist away. The excuse that seems to be implied is if they took a relentless tough line against the BS they’d lose access. Does the BBC have a hard time with access to the power…
