Don't forget, Republicans SLASHED health care funding to afford tax breaks for the wealthiest people in our country.
So while Americans go into debt to afford the life-saving care they need, Trump and his billionaire buddies are getting richer every day.
With $300 billion, we could end homelessness, fund cancer research for 40 years, and give every child free pre-K for over 7 years. Instead, Trump is sending it to Iran. This is not America First. Not even close.
Mark, I appreciate your thoughtful and sincere approach on. Are you familiar with Alison Galvani work at Yale. She shows that extending Medicare to 55 is not that expensive.
It would save costs because Medicare has lower administrative costs. People aged 55-64 some of the most expensive in private market and you would reduce spending on them.
You also need Medicare to have more leverage to negotiate for drug prices --something you have led on.
Yes, there is a cost but having progressive taxation to pay for it means that working and middle class Americans would be paying less than on their premiums and employers would be paying less than they would premiums.
You eliminate a lit of the middlemen costs like hospital facility fees, private insurance executive cost, administrative and advertising costs, high mark up on drugs etc.
Do you agree that a single payer system would be better for costs? Are you open to expanding Medicare? What would it take to get you on board?
If you made the case and on the administration, it would help!

I just left the Senate floor where I was proud to vote for @ewarren’ss 21st Century ROAD to housing act.
Housing is a human right, and this is an essential step toward lowering housing costs and taking on corporate greed.
REMINDER: Social Security is an amazing program!
We make contributions with every paycheck to ensure a life of dignity when we retire, become disabled, or lose a loved one!
Warnock: We have all of this naked, unabashed corruption. I don't know if Donald Trump was a billionaire or not the first time he ran, he said he was. But we all know he is now. He has made more money in this year and a half than he's made in his entire life.
He's enriching his sons… He said he was going to look out for the families of this nation. And I guess since charity begins at home, he started with his own family. He just forgot about the rest of our families.
Sanders plan would mean:
✅ No hospital A deductible. Zero
✅ No Part B deductible for doctor visits.
✅ Expanded dental, vision, hearing
✅ No co-pays
✅ No Medicare Advantage upcoding, ripping off taxpayers.
Republicans don’t want you to know about the overwhelming support Medicare for All has across the political spectrum. Why? Because they want to continue cutting your access to health care in order to pay for UFC fights on the White House lawn.
BREAKING NEWS: The Senate passed the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act to build more housing supply and lower costs.
This bill also stops private equity from buying up single-family homes.
Justin understands the needs of Tennessee's working class, and he knows that leaders who go to Washington must not sell their souls to lobbyists and the corruption of our political system.
I am proud to endorse him for Congress.
Donald Trump taxed everyday people billions in tariff taxes—all while giving massive tax breaks to the ultra-wealthy.
Now he’s refusing to give the money back.
He owes Illinois families $1,700.
#BREAKING: Legendary #Maddow: “That all happened in February. Now it’s June, the bridge really was supposed to open…the invitations had gone out for Friday…but nope, Donald Trump says no…Headline in Ontario Construction News: ‘Gordie Howe International Bridge opening delayed again. No date in site.’ Trump administration is insisting that this bridge should NOT be allowed to open because heaven forbid a MAGA donor be inconvenienced, one billionaire family that donates to Donald Trump, heaven forbid they be inconvenienced, because that to a corrupt administration, that is way worse than literally tens of thousands of people a day, being deprived of the use of this fully built
fully paid for, ready to be open, state of the art, brand new beautiful bridge.” 🤦♀️
America made a promise to the Afghans who fought alongside us in our time of need.
It’s a moral & national security imperative that we keep that promise.
