"We HAVE to pay the most for healthcare because ONLY the USA has top solutions." Japan has UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE, uses some of THE most technologically & medically advanced practices in the world, and has much lower costs. Everyone is covered. www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/09...

REMINDER: Hhis outrageous talk is designed to do 1 thing. Keep him out of prison for child_r^pe. At every opportunity, demand he stop violating the law and release the remaining 1 MILLION plus EPSTEIN FILES. Doesn't take a genius to understand why he's willing to break the law by withholding them!

What would the MEDICARE FOR ALL Act mean to how much you pay for health care? The Medicare for All Act (S.1506 HB.3069) is a greatly enhanced, improved, and streamlined program, not must current Medicare for more people. Universal Healthcare make sense! Check it out here. thewholebill.org

The Whole Bill
What your household's healthcare actually costs, including the employer share that never touches a paystub, and what universal coverage would cost instead.

Beware: Those unbiased independent agents who help seniors navigate Medicare vs so-called Advantage plans get PAID if they sign you up for a corporate plan. Up to $864 for signing up and up to $432 each year you renew. They get ZERO if you choose traditional Medicare. Follow the money!

$76 BILLION MORE. Medicare will pay ~$76 BILLION MORE in 2026 to private Medicare Advantage plans than it would spend for those same beneficiaries in Traditional Medicare. Same people, Same year. Those are OUR Medicare dollars! How much more actual healthcare could $76 BILLION buy? -MedPAC, 2026

The U.S. ranked #2 in delivering care — yet dead last overall among the 10 comparable countries studied. The Medicare for All Act is about changing the costly, complicated system we use to finance & access care. Keep the care. Improve the system around it. Commonwealth Fund, Mirror, Mirror 2024

According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the first Medicare-negotiated prices are substantially lower than what private Part D prescription drug plans were negotiating & could save enrollees a collective $1.5 BILLION in out-of-pocket expenses in 2026. www.aarp.org/pri/topics/h...

WOULD YOU RATHER PAY $2,100 — OR $200? That's roughly the difference between today's Medicare Part D annual out-of-pocket drug maximum & the maximum allowed under the Medicare for All Act. Which would YOU rather pay? Fact-check this for yourself. Read the actual bills: S.1506 / H.R.3069.
Chart shows Current Medicare Rx Max Out of pocket vs Medicare For All max.  For 2025 $2000 vs $200, for 2026 $2100 vs $205, for 2027 $2400 vs $210.

"Medicare for All" ISN'T today's Medicare! Similar name - Very different coverage. Today's Medicare has major limitations & issues. Medicare for All refers to a specific plan in both House (HB 3069) and Senate (S.1506) that addresses them. M4A is not today's Medicare, expanded to include all.

If anti-trans WA initiative 638 passes: "Girls, to protect your privacy show us your private parts!" Boys aren't checked in any way, only girls... for their privacy of course. Or you have to take DNA/Chromosome tests or testosterone tests and turn them over to us - again, for your privacy.

The Anti-trans folks keep saying "Girls shouldn't be force to play against MEN!" They want you to believe a scenario that doesn't exist. The reality is more like the second image. We're talking school kids. R's in WA want girls' genit@ls examined to be allowed to play! (but not boys')

Today I wrote President Володимир Зеленський urging him to reverse his dismissal of Mykhailo Fedorov. Most of his highest ranking military are steeped in the corrupt, inhumane, loyalty-based, Soviet style leadership. Fedorov was changing all that for the better and to save more soldiers lives.

Perhaps Zelensky knew he couldn't dismiss Syrsky without angering the entire military leadership and their entrenched (corrupt?) ways of procurement, decision making, and top-down mandates. Federov turned that all on its head and his style worked. So how to reform the old Soviet/Ukrainian mindset?

After these first rounds of poachers and squatters leave Crimea, President Zelenskyy should set a date by which all the others must leave...or their bridge to Russia will be destroyed. Get out NOW! It is no empty threat as demonstrated by the strikes adjacent to the bridge these last few days.
