Bro why is Trump able to snap his fingers and make everything immediately worse, while Democrats need unanimous permission from the whole world to wipe their own asses?
@ToSmartToTweet@vanguard_pod@dpakman Some DSA members prlly do want to remove the role of the entrepreneur and owner/manager in businesses of any size, and are really 'socialists.' But in the US 'socialism' became 'when the government does stuff.' DSA members all have in common they don't think it does nearly enough
@M94947Photos@AbdulElSayed@MarkHalperin It already has started happening it's a question of how much there's no question about if. The Free Beacon may not have a story about it but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
@M94947Photos@AbdulElSayed@MarkHalperin Lol yes actually, unc! Cuts in the Big Beautiful Bill that are predicted to close hundreds of vulnerable hospitals, and closed many before the funding was even cut, and have now reduced the ACA rolls by 4 million people by now were major conversations last year
@M94947Photos@AbdulElSayed@MarkHalperin They are so popular Trump was compelled to lie about protecting them and probably was rewarded electorally by voters for seeming like a populist Republican. She prlly wanted to only do Care all the time, and do no coding of anyone w/ discrimination by plans. +man no control wife
Reporter: Isn’t there concern that this slippery slope to socialism inevitably ends up as full-blown communism?
AOC: I mean, no. I think that’s very silly. We can’t even raise the minimum wage. Do they really think communism is going to happen? No. They’re trying to scare people because they don’t want us talking about the fact that we all have a right to health care.
So they want to call everything they don’t like communist because if people actually wake up to the fact that their elected officials are screwing them over when they get here, they’re going to realize they deserve better and that health care as a right isn’t crazy. They want to call this stuff communist because they don’t want us to realize that the rest of the developed world has guaranteed health care. They want to call it communist because they don’t want you to know that Germany, Italy, the UK, Canada—everybody else—has it better than us, and we spend the most money for the worst care in the developed world.
@M94947Photos@AbdulElSayed@MarkHalperin There's actually an entire industry of training for nonclinical professionals, so it makes everything cost more, and docs do as much desk work for insurance reasons as they spend with patients. A 2016 study followed doctors who had 2 hours of desk work for every 1 with patients
"THESE FOLKS JUST DON'T WANT TO WORK"
AOC doesn't hold back after reports Mike Johnson may call an early August recess:
"I mean, we're here to do a job.
There are so many different instances where people clock in, and they're expected to show up on time, and they're expected to leave their job on time.
And if you are leaving your job early, you need to be accountable for that and tell people why.
And these folks just don't want to work.
And it's really shameful."
@M94947Photos@AbdulElSayed@MarkHalperin The need to bill and code for insurance and the extra work involved is a major selling point for M4A because it would simplify being paid for care, when today you need a lot of office work and coordination between you and a lot of different payers with a lot of different plans.
Bash takes time to platform the Maine Democratic Party's "concerns" about Troy Jackson having thrown a plastic water bottle close to a female lawmaker. Is there any honest person who believes these stories would be elevated if Jackson didn't want to tax the rich/cut Israel aid?
