    An entire industry built on taking money they didn’t earn to deny the care our doctors prescribe for us… Are we stupid??

        Those people are the only options on the ballot though. We can’t vote for something that’s not an option

          The fuck are you talking about? First of all, primaries exist. Secondly, with only a few notable exceptions, Democrats favor single-payer. The original ACA was a government healthcare bill with a private option but Joe Lieberman was the holdout and gutted it. Stating otherwise is intellectually dishonest and deliberately ignorant, or at worst a malicious rewrite of history.

            In the last primary who was calling for a switch to a single payer healthcare system? None of the candidates were talking about that.

            Joe Liberman left office in 2013. That was 11 years ago.

            What the fuck are you talking about about?

            It was a private system with a public option, but 6 of 1, half a dozen of the other I guess.
