    Candidates talk about plans for health “insurance” when the TRULY RADICAL plan is that THE COST OF ALL HEALTH CARE - e.g. all PROVIDERS, AND THIS INCLUDES PHARMACEUTICAL - SHOULD BE REGULATED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT!

    They regulate our cable bill, our gas bill, our electric bill, all kinds of other stuff ... WHY THE FUCK AREN’T THEY REGULATING THE COST OF SOMETHING THAT SAVES OUR LIVES?

    ALL of this should be NOT-FOR-PROFIT, AND PRICE-REGULATED.

    All this BIG BUSINESS is controlling if we LIVE OR DIE.

    And a HUGE NUMBER of Congress - both the Democrats and Republicans - are totally on board with that, in the interest of free market capitalism and their own stocks.

    Sanders’ “Medicare for All” would tax me 4% of our income, which is WAY higher than what I pay now. And we pay a LOT, now. It doesn’t address the COST of healthcare. And it will NEVER pass in Congress, because the Big Business Oligarchy won’t let it pass. Any new legislation would have to demand that these medical monopolies either be broken up or be Federally regulated, to HEAVILY bring down the costs so that we wouldn't NEED to pay such a high cost.

    EPA, yes, that is THE NUMBER ONE REASON TO GET RID OF TRUMP.

    These Big Business pricks think that pollution and carcinogens and losing fish and wildlife are worth the risks vs. profits (and they lie about “jobs” in a gig economy). They’re evil.
