The plan is Soylent Green. Also addresses food insecurity, killing two birds with one stone, so to speak.

Schumer and Jeffries still want to spin they did good by crumbling over shut down. GOP is doing exactly what everyone knew.

Well, that’s not nothing. At least… um… well…
Yeah. That’s nothing.

I think most of us are well aware of the lack of “a concept of plan” at this point – Or willfully ignorant.

calling it a “plan” is generous when the main feature is letting people drown then selling them life jackets made of monopoly money

So many problems here!
First the Democrats Caved during the Shut Down, no surprise there, just like they have so many times before, when they side with the Republicans. So it isn’t just the Republicans who have no Healthcare Plan for America, Democrats have left us out in the rain as well and have no healthcare plan.
Actually that really isn’t true. Republicans and Democrats do have a plan, to make healthcare only affordable for rich Americans, they don’t call it MCA, Medicare for All, but MCS, Medicare for Some.
Can we please be honest and stop lying to ourselves for a minute, Democrats are just as responsible for the failure of the ACA as are the Republicans. The only reason Obama pushed the ACA is because of Bernie, who should have won the 2008 election, as he should have won the election in 2016, 2020 and 2024, every god-damn election the Democrats have run scared. Sadly the Democratic Party today is little more than a party of Republicans in disguise because they refused to change and leave their conservative neoliberal roots behind. It is also why the Republicans have gone so extreme, turned MAGA, while embracing their racism and greed. The Democrats allow it. Once Democrats except that, it is only then that we can have a conversation about change.
The truth is even the Affordable Care Act sucks. Even having to put the word ‘affordable’ into the conversation in the first place, admits defeat. Affordability doesn’t even enter into the healthcare conversation when are loved ones are dying. Healthcare is a Human Right. This is a conversation about Human Rights for All.

They also have no economic plan other than stealing from us to enrich billionaires, no defense plan other than stealing from us to enrich billionaires, no jobs plan other than stealing from us to enrich billionaires, no climate plan other than stealing from us to enrich billionaires, and so on.

There IS no viable plan for healthcare except for 3 options:
1. Continue to enrich billionaires in insurance industry as they continue to deny care and make “greedy” doctors use 1980s tech to save costs and Let our people die in debt as our employer-centric system crumbles bc of AI replacement of jobs also replaces healthcare
2. Do single payer
3. Do Germany’s system where you legally mandate employers to cover employees but anyone who doesn’t work or qualify gets a robust public option guaranteed for them
There are literally no other systems that exist that can work for a healthcare system as large and complex as ours. Savings account plans are scams essentially like those “prayer group” insurances people will show up to clinic with then act offended when we tell them the $50 their church sent isn’t going to cover the $100,000 cancer care
I’m an oncologist and I’m just disgusted not just with our healthcare system but with the discourse in general. I have a boomer cousin who is a contractor, generally healthy guy, but has a “bootstraps” type of vibe. Never needed insurance, etc. also is raising their late daughter’s child.
Has a debilitating heart attack, no insurance, can’t work, family is sending him money basically so the kid doesn’t starve.
Yet at Thanksgiving they’re the ones rallying against socialism and “handouts.” They are in a house full of professional people who dont need the assistance and yet they not only vote against their own interests they’ve been brainwashed to THINK against their own interests and deny objective reality. They also hate education and think we should punish people who get useless degrees with crushing debt
I think its a combination

Republicans have no *(insert cause here)* plan other than stealing from you to enrich billionaires.

They’ve had 8 years to work on their “repeal and replace.” All they know how to do is destroy things.

Remind people that this is sadly what people voted for in 2024. Electing trump and giving Republicans majorities in the house and senate.
