The Washington Post Reveals Cracks in Healthcare
 The sales pitch by so-called "moderate Democrats" and Republicans who take money from the insurance companies is that people "don't want to get kicked off their existing employer-provided health insurance plans." But workers don't make the choice of plans, their employers do. For example, the Washington Post this week announced that they're shifting their employees to a high deductible plan. The employees have no say in this, and their healthcare expenses will now go up. The simple reality is that people who oppose Medicare for all single payer plans are really saying, "I want your employer, not you, to be able to continue to decide how much you're going to have to pay for your healthcare and what quality of healthcare you're going to get." And that's assuming your employer even offers you healthcare! -Thom |

Join me by chipping in $10, $25, or whatever you can to help get Karl's message in front of voters so he can win on November 5. See the ad and contribute: KarlFrisch.com/Thom4Karl-Thom |
