    Rep. Barbara Lee Retweeted The New York Times

    “Do you pay the hospital bill or do you pay the utility bill? We’re part of that percentage of America that are one paycheck from being destitute.” This is the health care reality for too many. And if @HouseGOP succeed, they will only make it worse for the sick and the poor.https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1052510561005707264 …

        Single payer, as long as it is significantly cheaper than insurance premiums, should be an easy sell anywherehttps://nym.ag/2J2sUvF

        I live every day of my life worrying that my retirement system will change the coverage of my Medicare Advantage plan or that Republicans will make all insurance too expensive for retirement systems and individuals. I’m glad I have insurance and worry so much for all who don’t.

        Even trying to keep up wi the medically insistent preventatives is too expensive. Or we burden our families with kids and college students. We are still, after all, living under Sequestration!

        Yes, lack of affordable heath care is backwards and criminal. Caregivers, who are predominantly women, are struggling to survive both economically and emotionally as they provide around the clock unpaid care to their medically ill and vulnerable loved ones.

        Please stop the hog wash and slop! You live in America. You have the right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. You keep playing the victim card. Democrats are the most raciest bigoted mob of hate that I have seen in many years.
