What a week of solidarity! ✊

Nurses from around the globe met in San Francisco to discuss the rise of authoritarianism & corporate wealth — and how workers have the power to stand up, fight back, and create a world that centers nurses' values of compassion, justice & care.

Absurd! Americans get far less leave than peer nations!

Republican-controlled legislatures have rolled back state-level sick-leave policies, leaving gaps in access amid the party's attacks on health care.

Stop buying health insurance. Force a universal healthcare system. Shut down health insurance companies. It will create a crisis that will have to be dealt with. Supply and demand. Stop the demand. Stop buying it. Opt out of your employee health care. It's all a scam anyway.

Washington must make universal healthcare for all! Make colleges affordable for all, no matter the name and reputation of the institution. Pay teachers and healthcare workers the wages they deserve. This country has always taken advantage of the poor to enrich their pockets.

My partner has cancer. Of all things to worry about, financial worries, especially income and medical, are maddening when you know there are tools for that not being used, a livable UBI and universal healthcare.

I’m one of the people whose insurance is at risk in the shutdown fight.

Ugh.

Things like this always beg the question of why not just have universal healthcare instead of jumping through hoops, but excellent news for those who qualified in North Carolina!

Officials say a North Carolina government initiative is eliminating over $6.5 billion in medical debt for more than 2.5 million residents.

Greed is the only reason we don’t have universal healthcare. And the GOP are the only party who find the idea of people dying on the side of the road or being turned away from an ER OK and for some even amusing.

All humans should have Universal Healthcare! If Corporations & Billionaires don’t like it, they can refuse it for themselves, but everyone else should have Universal Coverage! MAGA only wants to give more free $$ to the Wealthy & I’m not okay with that, what about you?

Healthcare is a human right.

All of our economic peers have universal healthcare.

We will not have a moral healthcare system until we institute universal healthcare.

There’s really nothing more to say about this issue issue

Something most people don't understand:

24 Million Americans get their health insurance through the ACA marketplace.

If tax credits are allowed to expire, their costs MORE than double.

3/4 of the recipients of tax credits live in red states

The pain will be staggering

Another example of why Democrats MUST push for what every other industrialized nations on earth have which is single payer universal healthcare! It is cheaper and everyone is covered. The for-profit health system we currently have is killing us and making us bankrupt.

Umm, I just explained why the Dems have been spineless, but the ones actively pushing for a dictatorship isn’t the democrats. Hell they should be using the Trump/Epstein shut down to replace the ACA with single payer and save the taxpayers $10 trillion over the next decade
