I'm just going to go out on a limb and say it's a pretty crazy idea to have your entire health system controlled by giant insurance companies for which the entire logic of their existence is to take in money and avoid paying for health care.
Radical thought, I know.
In my on-boarding to Congress, I get to pick my insurance plan.

It’s frustrating that Congressmembers would deny other people affordability that they themselves enjoy. Time for #MedicareForAll.
When a war criminal dies, it should be obvious that we not honor the war criminal & instead honor their victims. On 2/13/‘91, 408 civilians were killed — most of them women, children, & the elderly, & most of them burned alive — when US forces bombed the Amiriyah shelter in Iraq.
When we bring up providing all Americans with healthcare and local college tuition there’s always someone who asks “how do you plan to pay for it?”
Answer: “THE SAME WAY WE PAY FOR THE WARS WE’RE IN. WE JUST DO IT”!
Take a screenshot of this post so you never have to ask again.

Nevada elected a dead Republican pimp.
This is not a joke.
Dennis Hof was a pimp, died, stayed on the ballot, voters were notified of his death and 70% of them voted for him anyway.
Once again,
THEY VOTED FOR A PIMP'S CORPSE.
Facebook took down my page with nearly 70,000 followers, labeling it as "spam," when I have spent 4 years working to build that page up and using it to post the articles I wrote and videos of my reporting. This is so incredibly wrong and is affecting hundreds of similar pages.
