A new Yale analysis found Medicare for All would cover every American AND save more than $1 trillion a year, cutting national health care spending by 20%.
It would also mean better pay for doctors, nurses, and healthcare providers. The savings from cutting private insurance and Big Pharma profits as well as administrative waste would pay for increased Medicare reimbursement rates andย ย $52 billion in unpaid hospital care.
Medicare for All saves money and lives.
@asklivermore I have amused your chatbot and emailed numerous times to get your website subscription over the last week and you havenโt taken care of it or replied. I am also canceling the X subscription now, since at least I can control that.
Amazon started as a bookseller. Now it's buying rare books by the thousand, slicing off their spines, scanning them for AI training, and destroying the copies.
@404mediaco hid an Apple AirTag in one book from a 1,000-book bulk order placed through the marketplace Biblio.
Booksellers had been getting these weird, price-insensitive orders from anonymous buyers. They suspected AI companies.
The tag pinged California, Wisconsin, Colorado, then landed at LAS8, an Amazon warehouse in Las Vegas. A unit inside called VGT3. Its door has a dinosaur holding a book.
Amazon workers on forums confirmed their job is to cut bindings and scan books all day. The books don't survive it.
If you had trusted the settled science of the day, here is how it would have gone.
1890s: you dose the baby with Bayer's new cough syrup, the non-addictive alternative to morphine, marketed for children. It was heroin. They named it after the German for heroic.
1900s: you rub calomel teething powder on your infant's gums. It is a mercury compound, and it leaves a generation with pink disease. Swollen, peeling hands and feet, screaming for months, and some of them died.
1910s: you cook in Crisco, launched by a soap and candle company, because cottonseed oil is modern and lard is what your mother used. The process that made it solid produced trans fat, banned outright a century later.
1920s: you drink Radithor, certified radioactive water, on prescription. Eben Byers took fourteen hundred bottles for his vitality. His jaw was removed in pieces and he was buried in a lead coffin.
1930s: a chemist dissolves a new sulfa drug in diethylene glycol, which is antifreeze. It kills 107 people, mostly children, and only then does America give the FDA power to demand safety testing.
1940s: your doctor lights a Camel in the surgery. More doctors smoke them than any other brand, and the advert runs in the Journal of the American Medical Association, which sold him the page.
1950s: DDT is sprayed over your kitchen, your garden and your children at school. The man who found its insecticidal properties has already been given a Nobel Prize.
1960s: your wife takes thalidomide for morning sickness because it is remarkably safe. More than ten thousand children are born with missing and shortened limbs.
1970s: the country puts down the butter and picks up the margarine, on the instruction of the American Heart Association. The fat everybody switched to was banned in 2015 as unsafe at any level.
1980s: the fat comes out of everything and sugar goes back in to make it edible. Obesity begins a climb it has never come off.
1990s: your father is prescribed OxyContin, because fewer than one per cent get addicted. The company later pleads guilty to criminal misbranding, and the overdose count runs into hundreds of thousands.
2000s: you take Vioxx for your knee. It is pulled in 2004, and the FDA's own safety officer estimates tens of thousands of excess heart attacks.
Not one of those was fringe. Every one had a professional body, a literature and a man in a white coat standing behind it.
Nobody who followed that advice was stupid. They were obedient, to the most qualified people available.
Settled is a word about money. It means the questions stopped being funded, so they stopped being asked.
So which of today's instructions will your grandchildren read out in disbelief.
The oil washed in hexane and built into every cell you own. The statin that blocks the pathway making your hormones, to prevent one heart attack per hundred people. The injection where a third of the loss is muscle. The infant formula built out of vegetable oil.
All settled. None of it funded to be otherwise.
@Mayhem4Markets Yeah, Iโve wondered what the plan was to upgrade Data Centers In Space after 18 month obsolescence. This seems like pretty extreme consumption, too, now that Iโve written it.
@RandPaul I think a lot of people really donโt understand the flexibility not being on the gold standard gives us. The countries building the Unit as an alternative to the US Dollar are using gold plus their currencies because of this. Itโs pretty smart.
Fun Fact: The DEA's Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF) investigated Jeffrey Epstein under Operation Chain Reaction for drug trafficking, prostitution, and money laundering.
Out of it came a 69-page memo from May 2015 naming Epstein and 14 associates tied to suspicious wire transfers. Marked unclassified.
Senator Ron Wyden asked for the unredacted version. The DEA was ready to hand it over. Then Todd Blanche personally blocked it. Todd Blanche then dismantled OCDETF entirely. The same unit that had been in existence for 43 years. The same unit that caught El Chapo. They no longer exist.
Todd Blanche is a pedo protector and every single one of you who voted to confirm him are complicit with his coverup if you ask me.
@RandPaul Iโve supported you for President and wished my Senators were more like you, until your vote to approve Todd Blanche and side with the Epstein class.
If a Covid vaccine can kill a baby and cause a miscarriage, then imagine all the other things it can do to you.
And Fauci knew it and still told people to take it.
Even worse, why are these shots still FDA approved under the Trump admin and RFK??
