It's not an error if it's an intentional error
Biden is a vote wasted, he lies ….. he is pointless.
I can’t afford to live in the USA, I had to quit my unstable in a hospital for 28 years. My cobra payment was $600 a month and now will be $1400 insanity. Also , I worked in hospitals for the last 30years and in the last 2 years, our hospital loses millions of dollars, so they cut the support staff to bare bones, they fired and laid off many staff. So, not only is healthcare so expensive, your healthcare is compromised. I worked in the ICU and we are short staffed most of the time and severely short staffed on weekends. Our healthcare system is a disaster. The Doctors and nurses really care about the patients, but have to work so much harder and under massive stress. Nurses and doctors spend so much time on the computer, rather then patient care.
Biden is a liar! Medicare for all would actually save money! The savings would be way more than 10% – probably closer to 40%!
Sorry not interested in criticizing him for 6 months electing him then fighting him afterward Sorry not interested in anything his campaign has to say they must be defeated #DemExit
After this Corona disaster, our private health care system will be rated in the bottom 10 in the world. The only way this will ever change is through carnage. The more deaths the greater the chance of positive change. The extent to which this is true is the extent of social, political and economic rot in this shit hole we call a country.
PELOSI HAS BEEN BLOCKING ONE FOR OVER A MONTH AND BIDEN IS AN IDIOT>WHAT? HE CAN'T READ????
if this guy thinks wages for workers would increase with #singlepayer or #medicare4all because it would drive the employers’ provided healthcare costs down, he probably believes in #trickledowneconomics, he tried it though…lol #livingwages
Biden is similar to Hillary, why would we vote for this buffoon!
Bernie Sanders is the only candidate committed to single payer health insurance.
Very interesting piece.
However, I definitely do not agree with having this universal or global system. When the "doctor" spoke of having one system to to connect all doctor records basically anywhere & everywhere, that's when I heard the actuality of what's being said AND done with this "Corona". Most ppl refuse to address what's really going on here with the globally publicized "virus". Not all ppl with sighted eyes can see. Just like some ppl can be so intelligent that they're actually dumb.
This "virus thing" is fastly ushering in the finalities of the "order". You know the one. Google is vying for control of health records of all, this "virus" is GLOBAL. The new required by 10-1-20 ID is GLOBAL. And now, Trump has released deployment of Red Cross "hospital boats/ships" a.k.a. FEMA barges. Are we still so afraid to address theories or actual realities other than the surface? Or is everyone INTENTIONALLY deflecting? It's obvious that pretending is more popular. Or are all these things happening at one time in this year alone, just coincidences? Are shills & trolls the same thing? Either way, there are many of them.
Am I really hearing how we all want our even our health care's privacy totally gone away? REAL ID, Google accessible medical records/global healthcare, universal DNA databases, Google locator, militarized police, hospital barges, miltary presence at closed brick & mortars, having all medical records on one server, cashless preferences, chipped employees, giving away your DNA rights to entertainment "familial tracers", device/surveillance everywhere, racial disparities in EVERYthing, ETC., are all "forced welcomed" ideas. Arenwe really welcoming the ENTIRE world knowing what's going on inside our own personal individual bodies? Really?! How again does HIPAA & the "constitissue" [my made up word] I mean constitution protect the ppl? Soooo, we're proposing making things more convenient for the doctors/government & no convenience or choices left at all for the people? Hmm..got it. Oh yeah, aren't there states that have deployed the guard for this virus? Such an apropos sounding last name for guest doctor in this piece.
Freedom, protection, privacy are illusions where we have all given them away via forced compliance under the guise of "safety, best interest & concenience" but, done in the name of lies.
**Side bar question: Is a conspiracy considered conspiring when facts & truth visually becone one?**
The below links are different articles about the the same medical records things involving good ol' "Fushoogle" [my made up name for full of __ Google]. I don't have to be a political analyst or have a master's or PhD in anything to have a nose. One on just about everyone's face can smell bull…
There are so many discrepancies about this pandemic, it's testing, treatment, who "has it" & the like. Idk…perhaps, I'm just not deep enough or my brain can't conceptualize such matters😒😑
Anyhoo…….
BTW, I'm not rooting for either candidate. Heck, no candidate at this point but I'm still paying attention.

Maybe Joe could pick up his rotary dial phone and find out how Canada or the rest of the civilized world affords healthcare for all. But let’s keep massive profits on illness, Joe. What could possibly go wrong?
Anyone and everyone that is providing ammunition to Trump loses a subscriber.
Biden is not wrong however there could be the epiphany he talked about. The real issue of healthcare are the costs, If you do socialize medical insurance, you have to control the costs associated with healthcare. You cannot rely on the existing costs of the people who currently have health insurance to continue to pay the high premiums so as to create the windfall necessary to supply healthcare to those who refuse to pay or cannot pay into the fund. However if we regulated costs of Pharmaceuticals, Medical Supplies, equipment as well as medical fees then you can drastically reduce cost and then Government could create a workable plan. Today's ideas where Healthcare is different to let's say Water, Electricity, Gas, and the many things All people need and rely on government which traditionally there are regulatory commissions to control costs does not make sense. We are a democratic Republic which rely's on an open market however even with our system there are things that are necessities and should not be subject to manufactured monopolies. Congress must change the paradigm of health care to a necessity and therefore a right. I think Biden would be sensitive to such a paradigm change. I hope everyone stays safe and well during this time of national crisis. If we learned anything from this event it should be how fragile life is and how interdependent we are. God Bless!
Spain nationalized all their hospitals because the privatized hospitals were lacking behind in their response to the crisis.
So the DNC's presidential candidate is going up against a GOP that is sending a $1000+ check to every American, improving sick leave & unemployment payouts, increasing the budget for medicare, etc…
Biden does not have a chance in hell. A new, 3rd party might actually defeat the DNC and hopefully relegate this zombie party into the trash can of history already.
The thing is, Uncle Joe's claim that M4A would "raise taxes" is grossly misrepresentative of the issue. What, exactly, is the difference between giving money to private insurers or giving money to a government insurer? One is called "premiums" and the other is called "taxes". This allows Uncle Joe to ignore one while focusing on the other. He knows that this is a lie, but he doesn't care because his corporate overlords don't want him to understand it. He wants to pretend, and wants us all to believe, that we will all still be paying the outrageously expensive healthcare premiums AND pay taxes. You can't explain something to someone who is paid to not understand it.
Biden has always displayed a lack of understanding on most major issues, it boggles my mind that he's been able to stay in government. I can only conclude that most voters are stupid.
Biden doesn't make sense, he's just repeating corporate lobbyist sound bites. Biden is the enemy of ordinary people.
BULLSHIT
