I've written thousands of words on how school vouchers are basically Robin Hood in reverse, taking from rural kids and kids who need the most and redistributing to wealthy parents. And this guy explains it much better in 2 minutes. Thanks @traecrowder

Keep telling me #PBMs AREN'T the problem. Kentucky drops PBMs from Medicaid and saves $283 million.

Hi, ER Doc here.
I can’t believe I’m saying this but here we are: there is NO scientific evidence that radio signals have the capability to activate dormant viruses and/or turn people into zombies.

From the months it took them to recommend masking to slow the initial spread of COVID-19 until today, CDC has been consistent about one thing when it comes to masking & COVID -- and that's being wrong. The science is clear: N95 respirators provide better protection than a plain surgical mask. To protect health workers, @CDCgov should keep urging them to use n95's when appropriate.

Dr. Philip Caper addresses his fellow physicians who fear that #SinglePayer #MedicareForAll would disrupt the status quo:
“That’s really the whole point of reform.”

In the latest #MedicareForAll Explained podcast, host Joe Sparks considers “direct contracting” agreements that cut out commercial insurance companies...but finds them to be a poor substitute for #SinglePayer.

A CDC study found
surgical masks in indoor public settings cut the chance of contracting the coronavirus by 66%.
Higher-quality N95 & KN95 masks reduced the risk of infection by 83%.
A mask protects not only against the coronavirus but other respiratory viruses, too.

Let us get this straight…
Worker pay has only gone up by 18% since 1978, and that’s causing inflation.
But CEO pay has gone up by 1460% in the same time period and that’s just fine?
Hello?

Read this.
US citizens work their whole lives to build something for their families & for 300,000+ of them every year, it's stolen away the moment they cross the threshold of a hospital.
Many choose to die rather than face that.
That's what the Tories have always wanted for us

No one should be in debt for going to school.
No one should be in debt for going to the doctor.
No one should be in debt for taking a life-saving medication.

Holy Hell.
Big Pharma is suing the government to stop Medicare from negotiating prescription drug prices.
The provision would save taxpayers $100,000,000,000 over the next decade.
We can’t let Big Pharma win. Please share this.

Happy birthday, Medicare! You’re not as strong and healthy as you should be thanks to big insurers like the ones I worked for that want to kill you off. But as you’ll see below, you have more than a few friends. We’re gonna reverse the Wall Street takeover of Medicare

One of the most urgent goals of US progressives & Left should be return M4A to center stage. At the same time, the ongoing for-profit corporate consolidation of healthcare *provision* complicates the M4A vision — and underscores the need for a vision to go beyond it.
