AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

Democrats would be crazy not to make this comment super-famous tomorrow when the Senate debates health care. Republicans don’t want you to be cared for as a patient when you’re sick. They think of you as a “consumer”—and tough luck if you don’t have the money for the care you need.
Roger Marshall: "We want patients to become consumers again. We want patients to see what the actual prices are. We believe that if we would add the price tags to this bill, that it would save the country a trillion dollars a year."

After the $100M privatization boondoggle...
"...AHS took over provincial laboratory testing and returned Alberta to a fully public model. By December, 2023, patient waiting times were reduced by 76%."
The same day as this report is released, UCP announced more privatization.

worth repeating
Fundamental to Twain’s understanding of democracy is that nobody wants to hold high office except thieves, swindlers, & autocrats, & the way elections minimize the corrupt exercise of government is not by empowering noble men, but by making the crooks compete with one another in perpetuity.
