Aug 17, 2026, 5:24 PM@kottke @CuriousMagpie Imagine how much less *everything* would cost if we had universal health care! I’m choosing to relentlessly ask elected officials (and everyone else, too), “How can we make this happen?” rather than saying it can’t.
Republicans always warned against “death panels.” Well, guess what? We have them now — insurance companies. Our current system is literally killing us while also bankrupting us. We deserve better, and we should all be demanding better. Yeah, that requires hard work, but maybe it starts by sending your Congressperson this article. Gotta start somewhere…
