A New York woman who died Sunday from cancer has raised enough money to erase million of dollars in medical debt with a posthumous plea for help. Casey McIntyre told followers in a social media message posted by her husband that she had arranged to buy the medical debt of others and destroy it as a way of celebrating her life.

RIP, goodhearted woman.

America, if you’d vote for change, this wouldn’t be necessary. The US is the only developed country where this is commonplace.

    There were more than enough Democrats in Congress in 2008 to make that happen.

    There are more than enough Democrats now to make it enough of an issue that it becomes part of the public conversation.

    There are more than enough Democrats now that could make an internal party rule that prohibits Democrats from ever lobbying for pharmaceutical or insurance companies.

    However, the Democratic Party is far more motivated to kneecap actual healthcare reforms than actually implement what they say they believe in.
