All healthcare reform, even “fixing” the ACA relies on a Democratic Congress. We won’t get ANY improvements while Republicans are in control. As I’m sure you’ve seen, they want to dismantle the whole thing and replace it with high deductible plans and HSAs. 1/

So *anything* we do, any meaningful reform, whether it’s multipayer, a public option, expanding Medicaid, all of it requires taking back Congress. All of the SP plans I have seen and support would repeal Hyde and fully cover all family planning options. My purpose in 2/

In having these convos it to increase support for universal coverage, with my preference being SP, among Democrats and liberal Republicans (the few that are left) so that when we take control, we have the support on OUR side to make it happen. 3/

Provide cover for elected officials as they vote. The Demand has to come from the ground up, not the top down. But they have to see that the demand is there for *anything* to pass. I prefer SP, and have advocated for it since 2009, based on 30 years of training and working 5/

Sorry, last one should have been 4/! Anyway, based on 30 years training and working in the healthcare system. I’ve contracted with Medicare, Medicaid, Champus, and every private insurer out there. I ran my practice for 11 years and did billing and collections 5/

Personally. So I’ve seen this up close and personal. While all options have pros and cons, I am convinced that SP has the best ratio of pros/cons. But in the end, I’ll get behind ANY system that gets all of my patients covered. I’m weary of seeing people suffer 6/

Due to lack of care. Sorry to be so long winded. I despair for the people I see without coverage and I’m passionate about working to change that. End/

i agree. healthcare is a human right. i’m not going to lie, i am afraid of gov’t controlled single payer because what happens when democrats *aren’t* in power and idiot right wingers want to again subjugate women? the anti-abortionists have an outsized power and that scares me…

It’s a legit concern. They’re crazy. The SP plan would be run by physician and citizen boards. On the physician side, decisions would be made based on physician expert consensus, well supported reasearch, and expert guidelines. So, for example, gynecologists would 1/

Decide what’s covered. Someone is going to decide under any form of healthcare reform. And I know that not all doctors are reasonable. Rand Paul, for example. But the majority of us want to help people. The disastrous things the Trump admin is doing is discussed 2/

Regularly in medical journals and in physician discussion groups. By and large, large medical groups like AAFP, ACOG are horrified by what’s going on. 52% of doctors now support SP, with younger doctors even more supportive. End/

i am ok with a group of physicians making the decisions. yes there are bad doctors and quacks but i think y’all would self-police bad ideas pretty successfully.
