  1. Well I mean yeah, but that’s not happening anytime soon.

  2. How’s that going to happen when your buddy Elmo is in charge of the budget?

  3. If by “moving toward medicate for all” you mean doing everything possible to destroy medicare then you count on Trump. And if by “to cure inequalities” you mean to destroy the working class then sure, Trump will do that also.

    As an added bonus he will likely bring about inflation and another “great depression” because he did promise to make america great again.

    And he will fight vaccines so that whooping cough, measles, and maybe even polio can be great again.

    I won’t even bother mentioning what he has planned for Ukraine (hint- it’s Russia soon) or Palestine (hint- it’s Israel soon).

    Edit- changed now to soon and removed a”the”

  4. I thought that was on the table a while ago in Congress…what happened?

  5. Originally Medicare was supposed to be for all. There was a compromise to give it seniors only and slowly expand it. The expansion never happened.

  8. You’d think corporate America would want Medicare for all. It takes the health insurance contributions off their backs.

  9. How about universal coverage (Medicare, Medicaid, whatever) for all Under-18s?

    This seems like it would be hugely popular and set the GOP as against healthcare for kids. 

    I can’t be the only one to have ever thought of this and yet … 🤷🏻‍♂️ 

  10. How about you gimme the same healthcare plan that everyone in congress gets 😂

  11. The government’s job is to protect the people and that includes from disease

  12. Cure is a strong word. It would help a lot of people for sure, but certain not the only avenue for fighting the crazy level of inequality in our country.

  13. When a Republican brings it up… We might be on to something. Till then… Perhaps more security for healthcare CEO’s..?

  14. I am a disabled Veteran who gets my care at the VA. It has been the most amazing care I’ve ever received.

    I want everybody to have that level of access to high quality health care I receive. It would cost us much less than our current stupid system.

  17. Ro Khanna has some major hypocritical moments that are hard to ignore:

    – In 2021, he went after oil companies for producing too much, saying it’s bad for the climate, then in 2022, he flipped and criticized them for not producing enough when gas prices went up. Make it make sense.

    – He joined the Congressional Pakistan Caucus to promote better India-Pakistan relations, but also takes donations from groups tied to Hindu nationalism? Kinda undercuts the whole pluralism thing.

    – In 2024, he bashed Democrats for focusing on “small issues” instead of the big picture, but his own record is full of those same small, targeted policies.

    – This is the same guy that advocated on behalf of Joe Manchin, an oil and gas proponent, to draft the Build Back Better legislation – what a joke.

    Ro is trying to act like he is a Progressive hero while making moves that scream “typical politician.”

  19. That’s the thing that bugs me. Everyone hates healthcare to the point that they are actively cheering on an assassin and yet they keep voting for the party that wants to privatize it more. They vote for the party that wants to destroy the ACA and has “a concept of a plan” to replace it. They vote for the party that has repeatedly killed any attempt for universal healthcare. 

    It’s maddening. 

  20. Medicare for citizens is the right move. Make it the baseline and then let private healthcare providers compete against it.

  21. Repeal the 2018 Trump $1.2 Trillion Dollars tax cuts for the 1%. Tax the rich appropriately. Medicare for All can be funded with the taxes received, pay 80% of MFA healthcare and have co-insurance by private health insurers. It’s a win/win for all. Broad based risk pool. Everyone has basic care for primary healthcare needs. What am I missing ? Medicare For All is the way to go!

  22. It would be a massive undertaking, and I’ve yet to see a single plan to detail how you’d do it.

  23. Not when half of America doesn’t want some Americans to have health care.

  24. We tried that but apparently its way too socialist but then somehow the party that thinks its way too socialist sides with the socialist communist dictator of Russia too. It all makes sense if you understand the usa is filled with under educated but entitled feeling assholes

  25. Well the voted for the guy who wants to remove it and replace it with concepts of a plan.

  26. If you cut the military budget by 50% everyone can have healthcare and we will spend less

  27. Yes, but instead we’ll just kill ACA and replace it with nothing, allowing healthcare to become the wild west.

  28. Instead we voted to run 100% screaming the other direction. Good job.

  29. Medicare for all is DOA because too many voters with medical insurance would raise hell, even more, so those with what is called a Cadillac Plan. Instead of this fantasy, Rep Kahanna should push for Medicare for those who want it.

  33. I have a feeling he’s gonna run for president in 2028 since he’s trying to make ties with republicans on DOGE and appear as moderate too

  35. No Sh*t Sherlock. God, it’s like they think they are saying something groundbreaking..
