Medicare for All means we will no longer be nickeled and dimed by corporations who exist specifically to hold our healthcare dollars and pay out as little as possible.

It took me until 10 years after starting med school to be able to spell gonorrhea and diarrhea, and 30 years into this I still can't spell s̶y̶p̶h̶i̶l̶l̶i̶s̶ s̶y̶p̶h̶i̶l̶e̶s̶ syphilis. So I feel like I should have reasonable misspelling accomodations.

If all income in excess of $400,000 were subject to the Social Security payroll tax, Social Security’s solvency would be guaranteed forever. We could also expand Social Security benefits. There’s no reason even to consider reducing Social Security benefits or raising the age of eligibility.

A new study shows that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and over $1 trillion every year. The new research out of Yale shows that reductions in administrative overhead, lower pharmaceutical prices, less fraudulent billing, and fewer emergency care trips would lead to huge savings. /1

If 10 people in a room make $50,000/yr & Elon Musk walks in the average person in that room makes over $1 billion/yr, despite 10 of them can't afford healthcare. The article explains exactly why and you are ignoring the actual content where they explain why just using raw numbers is inaccurate.

In addition standard inflation metrics like CPI track a large number of GOODS, but the true middle-class pain point is structural: housing, education, & healthcare have risen dramatically faster than median wages, creating a severe budgeting crisis despite statistical income growth.

If you count Elon Musk sure, but aggregate income gains are heavily skewed toward top earners. The share of total U.S. wealth and aggregate income held by middle-income households has consistently shrunk since 1970. www.epi.org/publication/...

Adjusting for inflation only works when wages keep up with inflation - which they haven't. In addition in the 70s housing costs were 1/3 or less of a family's income so they had a larger relative percentage to spend on food.

I’m hard pressed to come up with any single thing that has been studied as much as vaccines & autism (vaxx safety in general), or as debunked as a link between vaccines & autism. But even more striking is how these people clearly think autism is worse than your child getting a disease or even dying
