Inspire Our Voters; Imagine: Universal Healthcare

[JoeOtterbein]

We can do it. It makes sense. Fight for it means making the argument. Even on fake news like FOX.

Repeat the great reasons it's a great idea. We know the reasons. Yell about them on every media we have, every chance we have.

The way to win against the cult-of-personality the republicants have become, is by being the opposite.

The opposite of republicants is voting for good ideas. Alost every political poll shows the voters support many of our great ideas.

Like Universal Healthcare.

Yell it out proud!

1. People die here because they can't afford the co pay on their meds

It’s really uncivilized

[JoeOtterbein]

2. +1

And it's shameful.

3. I have Medicare but I still can't afford some of the things I need

I really wish we Could write a law that would take care of all people. Healthcare as a human right. I watch British television shows. And I always marvel at the fact that if they need to go to the doctor they just go. They don’t have to fill out reams of insurance information or get referrals or anything. Brits love it. We should be able to do as good as they do

[JoeOtterbein]

4. I have Medicare too...

...it would be nice to get care without co-pays for one!

[Walleye]

5. It sure would. It's bad for the health of us old people to have to figure this out all the time

[JoeOtterbein]

6. Universal Healthcare would give our fellow seniors...

...a great reason to vote Dem.

[Walleye]

7. I agree. If we could pull it off would be one of the best things in 21st Century

[Demsrule86]

9. If you don't have a reason to vote now, you never will...some new demand will emerge.

12. +1

[Demsrule86]

8. No we can't. And I tire of this...not to say with more Democrats, we can't do better. But I fear

once again our side will drop the ball and demand things that are simply not possible. Perhaps some who demand things and criticize Democrats will one day understand what is and is not possible. Biden didn't help elect Trump...the `but her email crowd' did. And should they abandon Biden as the same folks abandoned Obama, we may lose our Republic.

And starting with a brand new health care system would undoubtedly be a huge and difficult undertaking. I am sure fox would love it if we handed them this issue and announce breathlessly how we want to take away healthcare.

10. Imagine if those people that need to be inspired...

...had voted for Gore, had voted for Hillary, etc.

If they had, universal healthcare wouldn't just be imaginary at this point.

Oh, but it certainly is now, because they allowed this country to be driven so rightward that no universal healthcare is in our immediate future. Understand that. Any politician promising otherwise is deluding their voters and playing them for fools.

Sorry "those that needed to be inspired" couldn't understand basic civics and couldn't see the forest for the trees over these past few decades. They are the ones that doomed us to this course.

[betsuni]

11. +1 (also there are people who believe universal health care was a new idea in 2016)

[W_HAMILTON]

13. Yep. Imagine...

...attacking the woman that spearheaded the attempt at achieving universal healthcare coverage in the 90s like was done by those that needed to be """inspired."""

Inspired my ass -- they need to be EDUCATED.

[betsuni]

15. History erased, they wouldn't believe it, gullibly swallowed every slander and lie by people they

believed were "authentic."

[Rhiannon12866]

16. +100

[betsuni]

14. Democrats have been fighting for universal healthcare for decades.

It's an old Democratic idea. Number one reason voters voted for Democrats in 2018 was health care. President Obama = Obamacare. Republicans know this. Not sure why anyone thinks it's a new idea, as I've seen a lot of from 2016, as if universal health is a new idea nobody thought of before.
