“Cold Cash” Jefferson guilty on 11 of 16 charges.

Rep. Brad Miller (D-NC) has received a death threat over the health care bill and so has cancelled his town hall events for August.

The RNC is getting overwhelmed “with angry calls over its practice of overrunning town hall meetings” on the health care bill, so overwhelmed that they are now redirecting those calls to the DNC.

The O-Team has identified the “top candidate for a US Attorney position.” He is a former “copyright and cyber-security lobbyist for companies like Microsoft and IBM. . .,”

People do not cherish their insurance companies; they value getting health CARE when they need it preferably from providers of their choice. So, why are Dems trying to sell private insurance’s rapacious plans to the public, when what they want is a program which allows choice of provider with certainty of CARE? Medical and financial security is what people want and desperately need.

Medicare for All with a Robust Private Option

That says what people want, and what Dems should be arguing for and talking about. Voting for.

BTW, I do know some people who don’t want to give up their insurance plans: people on Medicare and a vet with VA coverage. All government plans, single payer.

Why not choose the plan which can actually save money? Why settle for “only” 50-70% cost increases instead of 100% increases? Medicare for All single payer would save $350 to $400 Billion a year, $350 to $400 Trillion over 10 years. Not an increase of 50-70% of whatever the cost is as this year.

Medicare for All with a robust private option — The uniquely American solution.

I was gonna do a link, but sadistically left it as is to further highlight how absurdly wonky it is.

mmmmmmm, sadistical …
