    In our system now most medical professionals are overwhelmed, even while people have limited access. If the flood gates open how will medical sector be able to handle such an influx.

    fr wondering how this is gonna shake up super tuesday..

    i guess something i dont understand is why not do this sooner im sure they sensed under performances in SC anyway for amy and pete but they really waited till after early voting still ended in super tuesday states knowing they would probably have to end up endorsing biden. timing is just confusing if nothing else.

    Biden was looking weak for a second there, we all thought he was done and Bloomberg would take his place, so the moderates remained in the race to cause a brokered convention. But now that Biden seems strong enough to carry himself after South Carolina, the moderates have figured that he’ll probably get more votes than anyone besides Bernie, so they should make it so that he may overtake him

    It adds up. But lets say worst case scenario: it doesn’t add up.

    Just cut the military budget or raise taxes on the rich.

    Remember: in the golden age of economics the top marginal tax rate was 70-93%. It has been done and it has worked wonderfully.

    Do you think the president can just do this with the snap of his fingers?

    Do you know how budgets work?

    preventative care means less chronic illnesses, over a period of time the system because less overwhelmed than it is now

    People are always going to be in pain. People will continue to age. Especially in a MFA system, anyone with a slight problem will go to the ER. I’m not sure about you, but my avg ER wait time is 2 hours on a light day. I don’t see how a free system will alleviate the already overflow of people.

    Remember, it’s unrealistic for plans that EVERY industrialized nation has but this is ok

    it's 32T over a 10 year period, no? The 21T quoted is over a 17 year period. if you extend that to match the same time period, then that's another 22.4T, bringing the total to 54.4T. that brings it to 39%, which is still a big chunk but not the two thirds that she makes it out to be

    im all for this sentiment, we need to hold those who just throw away money like this accountable. but its also important that we are honest about figures

    the reason nurses and doctors are overworked is because its a profit-based system, this means creating a reserve pool of labor by hiring less people in order to drive wages down and create a "competitive" labor market.

    the entire purpose of her candidacy is to block bernie and it always was. F*** every half-assed "progressive" who spent the past year pushing her bullshit

    If Warren doesn't drop out by Wednesday she's clearly become a political hag and doesn't care about her movement anymore her and Bernie agree on 98% of things. Warren probably won't even win her home State tomorrow.

    She needs to drop out because if she does about 80% of her supporters will goto Sanders meaning that he'll get a big boost, probably enough to put him over the top.

    Ehh i doubt it would be that high of Warren supporters switching to Bernie...feel like most of her supporters that are sticking with her are Never Bernie people lol

    i think canada's been tossing around potential solutions for this when happening in some of their more major cities like segmenting patients and allowing availability to more long term beds and opening nurses clinics ran by nurses and PA's to treat the things like minor wounds and the 'everyone with a migraine' type cases they may get

    havent done too much reading into this but i think this has been discussed in some of their news websites for a couple years

    Wait imma dumb or isnt this what we wanted

    Dsnt bernie clean MN 90 delagates now

    There is still no guarantee since there are a lot of people there that probably voted for her early

    But yes, short term this is probably good for him (in MN at least), but long term it's extremely problematic since most of her support will likely switch to Joe.

    I have never heard a doctor x nurse x surgeon say “I can’t find a job, nobody is hiring”

    Bold prediction but I think warren drops today too

    Despite her attcks on bernie up until last debate she still said “bernie has good ideas, progressive ideas win”

    I think she will

    Idk she’s let me down but i feel she’ll do the right thing

    I saw someone who's opinions i respect on FB say that he thought Warren was trying to set herself up as Bernie's attack dog during the last debate.

    Idk if i agree with that, but I could see it. Maybe(hopefully) she's just trying to hold out for Bernie to promise her a job in his administration?

    He & Klobs are most likely backing Biden

    If he wanted to hurt Bernie, endorsing Warren might be more damaging tbh

    Need Bernie to go full gloves off on Biden. Take the whole DNC down if necessary.

    Appreciate the HQ fam. I’ve just done some quick research on the Medicare subject. Is the benefit of MFA worth the cost of cutting wages of workers in the medical field?

    I’ve heard this talking point before and it will not. What’s eating the doctors income is malpractice insurance because future medical costs are a big part of malpractice settlements. This would be removed under M4A. The lower the chances for settlements means lower premiums for doctors.

    Fair enough point I will look into that. But on the other side of the coin, how do we handle the limited amount of medical professionals with would be opening the flood gates of people upon them
