A recent survey found that 92% of U.S. adults have delayed or avoided medical care due to high costs.
Meanwhile, a new study from Yale estimates that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year.
If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have universal healthcare.

Taylor Farms' parent company has given $2.2M to GOP PACs this election cycle.
That includes $1M to Trump's own PAC, just 6 days after the FDA delayed new food tracing requirements last year.
Money in politics is sickening.

1. Mitch McConnell suffered a fall on June 14 and has not been in the Senate for two months. But he's continued to get paid his salary of 174K/year.
Since he entered the Senate in 1985, McConnell has voted against creating or expanding medical leave — paid and unpaid — at least 23 times.

“In Beijing, a think tank at Renmin University recently published an assessment titled “Thank Trump,” which wryly hailed his efforts to hasten the “twilight of an empire,” by undermining America’s alliances, civil service, scientific institutions, and democratic credibility.”
5/5 The contest is not simply over speed. China has too much power in Xi and his cohort; America has too much in Trump and his Silicon Valley allies. The edge will go to the country that resists ideology and corruption—and gives people agency in their future. Read: www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

The challenges we face, from health and digital inequalities to the water, climate and biodiversity crises, require rewriting the economic assumptions that underpin them: that taxes necessarily undermine efficiency, that higher wages cost jobs, that getting prices right will solve the climate crisis

Yet he still has a job, still getting paid, and getting unlimited world class healthcare.
