Cry me a river, Mike Johnson. Louisiana is 48th in income.
Members of Congress make $174,000 a year & get free healthcare. They obtain insider information about corporations through their job. Trading on stocks w/ that information is illegal.
That IS insider-trading.

Good article, but even so doesn’t get at what makes this so expensive: TIME. The medicine is a catalyst—this is still *therapy* and our drug & medical policies don’t take therapy seriously.

5. The movement is not just continuing to spread into previously unrepresented parts of the country, but also maintaining its geographic reach: Protests occurred in at least 20 percent of US counties for four consecutive months in 2025 — something we never observed during Trump’s first term.

Study after study shows us that a single-payer Medicare For All system that covers everyone is cheaper than our current healthcare system - even studies done by right-wing organizations.
There is no logical argument against universal healthcare.

1. May 4, 1886: The Haymarket Incident.
I do not remember learning about the history of the Haymarket Incident or about organized labor when I was in high school. I learned about it and multiple other stories of class conflict when I read "Lies My Teacher Told Me"…
