Just wish the US would get a universal healthcare system like every freaking other developed country in this world. Will never happen. Ugh.
Nah, the Republicans would rather see you spend twice as much per capita (the whole population!) to cover a third of the population via public insurance and then get you guys to then spend money on private insurance and then have to pay any time you need any care.
You know... Fiscal responsibility...
To be fair Kamala was also against Medicare for All
EDIT: Y'all need to learn to Google basic shit before rage downvoting facts you don't like: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/how-kamala-harris-ditched-medicare-for-all/
Ah yes, the two parties. Republicans and Kamala.
Yes only the Republicans have a leader they listen to and built a platform on. Harris had no influence on her policy choices!
Maybe you weren't aware of this, but Kamala was the Democrat's nominee for president. Which is the highest office in the government.
Can you show me all the primary results to back up your claim?
.... really?
I don't think they do, judging by the downvotes.
As was "nothing will fundamentaly change" Biden. Corporate whores to their very core.
Pretty sure she supports it, as she did 4 years ago, but her campaign told her not to show support for it in order to court the Republicans that were on the fence.
Seems like they told her to do that with a lot of things.
womp womp.
I'm holding out hope that the Democrats decide to court Democrats, but based on the past few elections I don't have very high hopes.
Democrats: taking votes for granted that they shouldn't be taking for granted since forever.
Correction: Taking intelligence and empathy for granted that they shouldn't be taking for granted, since basically social media started being a thing.
If you don't support it during the campaign then you don't get to say you secretly supported it later.
So she's a spineless liar? That's worse.
They adopted a strategy, it didn't work.
Welcome to politics, you don't always defend what you believe in.
So she's both a spineless liar and lacks substantive values? Voters who like that kind of candidate voted for Trump. Predictably. Welcome to politics.

Ah, Jacobin. Of course. The ones who said housing the homeless is not good, because it means landlords will get paid.
Can't wait to read their thoughts on health care. Let me guess: "Universal health care now, but not if corporations benefit too".
They hated ACD for telling the truth.
Wish granted. The government is now responsible for paying whatever premiums the health insurance companies demand. But everyone with a social security number is covered.
There's a way of dealing with insurance company CEOs who aren't good people don't worry
It will happen, we just haven't fought hard enough for it yet.
