    Americans pay almost twice as much as the rest of the world for a system that provides excellent care for few, mediocre care for others, & fails the rest. We need a system that works for everyone. #MedicareForAllhttps://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/29/opinion/medicare-for-all-cost.html …

        We need a whole new paradigm. Chronically ill ppl can’t get help in a Medicare-only system as certain tests aren’t even available/docs overworked/solution is drugs to alleviate symptoms. A US doc solved this Cdn’s dx and treatment

        Americans are defaulting on their credit cards. They can't afford additional taxes nor can the wealthy pay for everyone else's poor health choices. The Government can print to pay the Health Industry and destroy the currency. An Economic Depression is approaching.pic.twitter.com/ZgLAcHI1Zs

        It’s failing everywhere in the world. Canadians come to the US for care due to denials or long wait periods. If you want to see what Medicare for all would look like go to the VA and ask the Veterans who are forced to suffer with it. I invite you to come with me.

        I invite you to come be on the phone with me when I try to make an appointment, when I’m told there’s nothing the VA will do for me, not can do but will do.

        Look at the other Countries tax burdens. You must want to tax Americans even more to pay for free healthcare.pic.twitter.com/4R2oCksWVd
