I'm going to do a drive by here, but what exactly did Andrew Witty provide to society that earned him his $26 million last year as head of United Healthcare? The fact that Fran is so patient when that is the 26 million ton gorilla in any discussion of health care in the U.S. is to her credit.

We do realize, Mark. Medicare for all, or at least a public option to force insurers to compete.
PS It's adorable to watch Republicans realize everything they've done to block a public option gives "carte blanche to insurance companies." Like they woke up to this in the year of our Lord 2025?

It's Fox/Newsmax viewers, some are working people. The press should be more specific about this. They talk about information silos as if any other news sources are as bad as Fox, Newsmax and OANN. Right wing "news" lies openly.

Seems so simple.
Undo all that Big Money has done through CitizensU, "Right to Work", and other corporate greed policies.
Why do they make it so complicated? Bernie and AOC and Zohran understand this clear messaging.

Does that mean there is a chance Elon might "fall" off the Whitehouse roof? That might get a few billionaires attention.
