Having worked in the industry for over 14 yrs I'm a supporter of M4A. There is nothing wrong with tax funds paying for a service that benefits everyone. It is what wealthy civilized countries should do for the betterment of society.
Better yet, you tell the world why you think that is a problem.

hahaha. thin slice of mozzarella.

Do you use the recipe on the box and, do you make the sauce? Used to make them all the time when I lived in Tempe, served with steak or Italian sausage sauteed with garlic, salad and a cake or pie for dessert.

Imagine a Group Ins plan with 340 million people. Some will use it very little, some a bit and some a lot. The more people in the group the less expensive it is unless we all come down with the plague. Besides, w/subsidized FEP, TriCare, Medicare & Medicaid we're about a 1/3 of the way there.

$1.98 trillion in 2024 for the math. The point is, we don't need to give two squirts about propping up a civilized society with RX, education & opportunity. Besides, any actuarial will tell you, early care is cost savings (wellness plans). In 2023, the insured paid avg $14,570 per yr.

Insurance companies today and for years have contracted with CMS to treat Medicare and Medicaid patients. They have the logistics & architecture for a M4A. It's very unlikely CMS would take on a million +- new employees that currently work for insurance. However, they won't need all their $$$ CEOs.

billionaire tax breaks

I'm not sure I could think of any other better place with which to give means for access to national healthcare as part of the social construct. Why not make it better. There's a lot to said against the overpaid goons who are slamming the faces of people into pavement and the widely unnecessary

Research papers and committee hearings.

It could end up like that, through taxes - depending on the crowd that writes legislation in the US. thanks for the link.

They can easily retool Medicare to include eye, ears & teeth. Medicare Part A is free if one worked to get 40 points. Part B premium is income driven. Part D for RX has many premium levels. 2023 was $11 per month & 2024 was .40 cents per month.

AI response to what percentage do physicians get paid with Medicare. Depending on the specific service and or the doctors participation it can be as high as 80% of the fee.

Not many could stay in business for 10%, which is why it’s 80% - depending on the type of service & the doctors participation status.

There were celebrities/scholars that he invited to one or more of his 3 homes for the implied gravitas. Legitimacy. Most of those people already addressed it. They can do it again. It’s the finance guys who have to change their shorts.

I read Epstein invited some folks to project legitimacy. He had the Dalai Lama for a visit to his NYC home. Cate Blanchett, Stephen Hawking, etc. H. Biden brought that up in his interview with Callahan.

That wasn’t the implication. It was just another set of numbers.

It was 77,000 3rd party in five battleground states in 2016 that gave him the electoral win

The donor driven Dems aren’t there yet & that includes Schumer & his merry band of eight capitulators.

2,648,835 voted for 1 of the 8 candidates for 3rd or other party. I don’t have the heart to compare the numbers in battleground states.

🤣

are reached in one. 12-18 month delay in taking a position with lobbyists. New transparency rules for lobbyists. Stuff like that.

How about strict rules before running for office? Simple things like no felonies or assaults. Pass a really hard civics test w/no open book. A DisC assessment. Grades & finances for review & all results open for public review. Pay 250k, term limit for H & S but can run for other chamber when limits

If you do not have the fortitude to stand up to Trump.... and Schumer, then it's high time for you to retire. Now would be good to announce your retirement.
Ordinary citizens of the United States have shown more courage than you.

I hear you on the needs of the people - food and jobs.
All they need is 20% of the caucus to start the process to remove Schumer. No Gillibrand or Klobuchar.

The firing of all the GAOs on day 2 was required by whomever is handling him and the $$$$$. They're up to their necks in it.
I hope Warren calls them out but these guys can't be shamed. Maybe we will see some of that when they're on the stand.

Photo 8 Dems who passed the CR with republicans November 9, 2025. Dick Durban, Jacky Rosen, Fetterman, Cortez-Masto, Jeannie Shaheen, Maggie Hassan, Tim Kaine, Angus King

And cave-in architect Schumer voted no because he found 8 donor driven Dems.

He wasn't one of the 8. But I called him, twice because the recording cut me off.

Photo of the Dem senators who caved November 9, 2015. Schumer did vote No, but I believe he was the architect to the capitulation.

I have a different list.
Even so, I phoned Gary Peters, Slotkin and Schumer earlier.
Schumer is the architect here so he got to vote no.

Democrat Senators that caved, including the architect Chuck Schumer who voted no but meant yes. Durbin, Fetterman, Cortez-Masto, Shaheen, Hassan, Kaine, King November 9, 2025

And we know Schumer was the architect.

Schumer was the architect
