You want Americans to play a different role in the market?????

Good.

Eliminate the profit motive because IT IS IN DIRECT CONFLICT WITH OUR INTERESTS AS PATIENTS.

That's right, Dr Oz! It shouldn't even BE a fucking market.

My premiums are going UP 19.2% in 2026 and I have HEALTH CARE DEBT.

You know what? I want our fucking corrupt Congress, if someone like Hogg or AOC has the guts to do it, to introduce a bill that would FORCE CONGRESS TO HAVE SOCIAL SECURITY INSTEAD OF THEIR LAMBORGHINI PENSION PACKAGE,

AND...wait for it...

HAVE TO BUY THEIR HEALTHCARE FROM THE WILD, WILD MARKET PROVIDED THROUGH ACA.


I'm tired of the party line that 'merika ain't nebber gonna go sosh-a-list. That is shit. This Congress needs to reform.

I'll tell you something else, too. I will now only donate to primary candidates brought forward by INDIVISIBLE. I will not be donating to ANY institutionalists in Congress period. I want Congress to be peopled with a bunch of progressives.

And, for GOD'S sake don't tell me they are 'far left librul' because that is so much shit. AOC is a New Deal Democrat if you know your history.

And make no mistake - whoever is in the White House, we need to clean out the fucking billionaire corruption, corporate corruption, lobbies, and other Wall Street bullshit and start electing people who will actually represent our interests and not some fucking reptilian piece of crap like Dr Oz.
