#plutocracy corrupts our legislative process, preventing #universalHealthcare
i didn't say #capitalism
i won't argue with you on that: capitalism in the idealized view is about free markets
this is about rent seeking #parasites
right?
now please listen:
if normal legal means for change are blocked by #corruption
then *violence becomes inevitable*
so i am not asking you to embrace #luigiMangione
i am asking you to see #luigi as inevitable
there will be many more luigis
I little folk song about Untied Health. I love these. Catchy.
As most dictators, including Trump and his handlers, know.
A healthy, well educated and informed citizenry is a threat to the abuse of power and corrupt governance.
Dutton is working from the same manifesto.
He is not interested in you or democracy, his only goal is unfettered power and influence.

I spent today running from one doctor's appointment to the next. At the first one, I was told there was something deeply wrong with my heart, and had to live with that for about three hours. At the last on, they said, nah, you're heart's good. That first person was acting on an abudance of caution, but you're fine. And BTW the thing you came to me for? Probably not nearly as big a deal as you thought.
Hard day, but a good day!
Today, I learned that Medical Credit Cards are a thing. As if the American medical system wasn't punishment enough.
Canadians - fight any attempt in Canada to privatize our #UniversalHealthcare.
Huge news this morning. The federal government has announced the final phase of the NDP Canada Dental Care Plan, which my NDP colleagues and I fought so hard for. As of May, the plan will cover ALL Canadians who don’t have insurance and whose household income after taxes is less than $90,000.
#Washington Could Have Had Universal Healthcare? #UniversalHealthcare
Two bills died in committee during the current legislative session. Those bills would have established a system of universal healthcare for Washington State residents.
“So, if everyone loves universal healthcare and all the politicians involved say they do too, why the hell didn’t it get a hearing?”

See? In #Canada we annex #American states POLITELY! We say "Hey, do you want #UniversalHealthcare? Sensible #GunLaws? Legalized (Safer and BETTER) weed? Better #Education standards? Be a #Canadian. #Cdnpoli
Tell me again how #universalhealthcare in the #USA will raise #taxes....
It may raise them on #billionaires but does that matter for people who already have more than they can spend?
Would typical people find lower median taxes and no out of pocket #healthcare costs a boon? You bet! But we're all owned by the billionaires who tell us what we think.
How do you make an entire list of things wrong with the Democratic Party & not include failing to do a single meaningful thing to help the average working person? #Universalhealthcare, ring a bell? #Unionrights like Card Check? Hello in there, anyone home?
“…I think the fear of the #US #imperialist approach has lately become bigger than the anger towards Denmark," said Julie Rademacher, a consultant & fmr adviser to #Greenland's govt.
Reuters spoke to…Greenlanders in Nuuk, all of whom said they favored #independence, although many expressed concern that a swift transition could damage the economy & eliminate Nordic #welfare services like #UniversalHealthcare & free #schooling.
@jvschrag
Grew up in #BuffaloNY, countless excursions into Canada throughout my childhood, the border was just a thing you had to slow down at to say “born in the United States, going for the day”. Relatives in Edmonton. I’m well aware I’d rather BE Canadian than Canada join the US. I’m sorry who doesn’t want #UniversalHealthcare?! Oh.... Right.... 
So, #Canada has #UniversalHealthcare AND LOWER TAXES than the #UnitedStates.
Stick that in your pipe and smoke it, right-wing propaganda!
Americans, how would you like to join Canada as part of New British Columbia, New Alberta, New Saskatchewan, New... ?
Seems a great solution for everyone tbh

"Bad thing in another country horrifies, driving support for the opposite at home"
I think it helped in #Germany
I think it will help in #Canada
So the fate of the #USA is to be an example of what poor #gunControl, no #universalHealthcare, and what an unchecked #plutocrat-#bigot #political axis does to a motherfucker:
Sane observant #citizens in other #democracies can avoid our fate

If Republicans are really going to defund Medicaid and the ACA subsidies, then California may as well pass CalCare.
