TIME FOR MEDICARE FOR ALL - IT'S A NATIONAL SECURITY RISK NOT TO
 As the corona virus spreads around the world, the United States find itself as the only country in the world without a national healthcare system that can confront it. Ever since Franklin Roosevelt first proposed a national single payer healthcare system, and Harry Truman tried to put it into law, and LBJ started the process with Medicare and Medicaid, Republicans have fought to maintain profits for the banksters who run the health insurance companies instead of allowing Americans to have the safety and security of knowing that they can go to a doctor without going broke. The biggest danger we face right now is that people who have mild symptoms of this disease - 80% of all those were infected - won't go to the doctor to get tested because they can't afford the co-pay and deductible, and will thus spread the disease deeper amongst our population. A man in Florida last week who had just come back from a country where the coronavirus was endemic, went to the hospital to get himself tested and it cost him over $3000. Republican and corporate Democratic efforts to maintain profits for the health insurance industry are literally putting us all at risk. It's time to have Medicare for all. It's a national security issue. -Thom |

Hour One: POLL: Who Do You Support and Why?
Quote: " For Americans who care about saving their health care, especially protections for Americans with pre-existing conditions, the Supreme Court's decision to hear the case is a stark reminder of President Trump's determination to end those protections" - Chuck Schumer.
Hour Two: Time For Medicare For All - It's a National Security Risk NOT To Have It...
Quote: " We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false." - attributed to William J. Casey, 1981 (you need to search the Philadelphia Inquirer and pay).
Tweet: " BREAKING: The CDC has stopped disclosing the number of Americans tested for coronavirus.
On the left is how the website looked last night. On the right is what it looks like now, with the testing info removed.
The lack of testing is a scandal.
This is the coverup." by Judd Legum. |
