    1. This line from Joe Biden was literally, word for word, taken from lobbyists who aim to crush Medicare For All. 2. It’s not true. Tens of millions of Americans with insurance are completely unsatisfied with their planshttps://twitter.com/sahilkapur/status/1128413510604607489 …

    Shaun King added,

    Sahil KapurVerified account @sahilkapur
    I asked @JoeBiden today where he stands on Medicare for all. He doesn't support it because "the vast majority of people are satisfied with their own health care system today." He endorsed "making a Medicare option available to all" and letting people keep their private plans.

        We are trying to get #FuckMyInsurance trending to tell all the stories of people who have been screwed by insurance or have none. Would be great if you could check it out and RT some of these heart wrenching stories that fly in the face of Biden’s excuse for opposing #M4A

        The deductibles for private health insurance plans are through the roof! Any plan WITHOUT expensive deductibles is a plan that is desperately needed.

        Hey Shaun! we are trying to get #FuckMyInsurance and #HateMyInsurance trending to refute the insurance industry/Biden claim that ppl are happy w/their private insurance. Check out all the horrible stories. Help us bump this by inviting more stories and sharing the hashtags?

        Ask the people that actually pay for all of the majority of a Health Insurance plan and I’ll bet that 90% plus are unhappy with the way Health Insurance is structured.

        I love my insurance. I can’t even tell you how happy I am with it. But I 110% support Medicare For All because I don’t want people to go bankrupt because they’re sick, not seek care they need because they don’t have insurance, and have to choose between medicine and food.

        Three words, @JoeBiden: high deductible plans. I am thankful for Obamacare eliminating discrimination against people w/ preexisting conditions and guaranteeing essential services, as well as Medicaid expansion, but it didn’t go far enough. Talk to normal citizens, not lobbyists.

        Wild that Shaun talks about JB to him man Bernie at a ratio of about 10 to 1. "The other guys sucks" didnt turn out so well in 2016.
