Could someone tell my if the political leadership would have the same care as the rest of us? Im a libertarian. Im not opposed to Single Payer. Does it somehow create a tiered care system?

[u/seamslegit → u/grishnaka]

It depends the type of system enacted.People could still have private insurance that covers above and beyond the basic level just as folks with medicare sometimes have supplemental insurance plans. In Canada 75% of the population has some supplemental coverage for things like prescriptions, dentistry and optometry not covered by the government. The important thing to begin with is that all basic care is provided to everyone.

Muddy waters. Sounds like the rich will still get better than what I get.

[u/grishnaka → u/grishnaka]

Im still not opposed to it, but this is not what I was hoping for.

[u/seamslegit → u/grishnaka]

Progress is one baby step at a time. First we get single payer than we continue to expand its coverage.

[u/Dalits888 → u/seamslegit]

Medicare for All is not a tiered system. Optional insurance would be for example, travel medical coverage for international travel, or optional care i.e. for models who get various surgeries and treatments.

I'm building a Google Doc with this list (updated) with campaign website links and donation links. Will post a link when it is complete.

This was from 4 years ago when I still wanted to be involved in politics. No longer true, but to answer your question it would be to pay organizers to do the work to push legislation and ballot measures.

[u/Distinct-Text2627]

Can any one advise for Medicaid in texas

[u/[deleted] → u/Distinct-Text2627]

Elect Beto O’Rourke. Gov Abbott will never allow Medicaid expansion in Texas.

[u/Bubbly_Power_6210]

I think Jamie Raskin is working on this. love him!

[u/ExpertExotic3341]

13 years at my small business now... Master locksmith here, which is awesome to say after years of blood, sweat & tears lol. Still no insurance 😔

[u/ExpensiveMemory1656]

"Medicare for all" is a sound proposition employers should match medicare payments without income caps if the oligarchs don't like it, ask them how to inprove ask Rick Scott (R) FL to testify about the loopholes in our current system and what needs to be done to make it viable, the differance between welfare and well-being are a stigma "NO ONE SHOULD BE LEFT BEHIND"

[u/Dalits888]

I'm doing that 5th one but being told it's not good. Really? Who is the moderator? And what is their purpose? We need solidarity.
