Study from Yale School of Public Health-2022. We pay billions of $ per yr to suffer at the hands of the insurance industry; many pay w/ their lives.
"in a non-pandemic year, some $438 billion would be saved by single-payer universal health care, like Medicare for All."

Study: More Than 335,000 Lives Could Have Been Saved During Pandemic if U.S. Had Universal Health Care

If the U.S. had had a single-payer universal health care system in 2020, nearly 212,000 American lives would have been saved that year, according to a new study

These are mostly indigenous communities in Alaska that have been slammed by the storm.

The local manager of a small airline fleet says he is the only one doing evacuations right now!

Defund FEMA and people are abandoned. Defund public media and no-one knows.

FYI, today is Indigenous Peoples Day.

Flooding seen with water up to the crash barriers of local roads

Sheds and debris lie scattered in the storm

A small blue house has been blown onto its roof

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

In Tennessee, sharing a Trump meme in a local Facebook group could get you charged with a Class E felony for ‘threatening mass violence.’

I've heard of violating a law and committing a crime. How does one "violate a crime"? By telling the truth? By returning the bribe money? He said "Tom Homan never violated a crime." He said it twice. He must believe it. Or does he just mean Tom kept the money? Hillbilly doublespeak? 🤷‍♀️

DeSantis ally Blaise Ingoglia warned Democratic cities to “expect a knock on the door.” Armed state investigators showed up at a veteran’s home—over a postcard reading “You lack values.”

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

Our job is not to throw 15 million people off health care and double insurance premiums for more than 20 million.

Our job is not to shutter community health centers, nursing homes and rural hospitals.

Our job is to fix a broken system and guarantee health care to all.
