@ZaleskiLuke I think it's medicaid... so the really poor.
I think that needs to be revised as they truly get more than those who pay for Healthcare get. That's just not right. Why should I who pay for Healthcare have to pay thousands for a hearing aid and those in Medicaid get for free?
Don’t want to leave this place but losing followers faster than the Dems are losing leaders.
Hey Elon maybe time to sit down, listen more and let the community do more talking?!
Soooo….the GOP is planning to throw thousands of vets off of VA health care (while also repealing the ACA),
and slashing VA benefits and pensions.
To my fellow vets, what’s your plan when that happens?
@WalshFreedom Sadly, telling the truth about history and being nice and accepting of everyone other than people hating others for their skin color and personal life choices. Ffs, they are afraid of being the white minority. How do we fix that? Staying out of bedrooms isn't wrong
Yes, Trumpism is an ugly, dark, dishonest, intolerant, ignorant, extreme, fearful, authoritarian overreaction. But it’s an overreaction to what?
Come on Democrats & progressives, be honest…self-reflect a little bit here…Trumpism is an overreaction to what?
I’m excited by the news that the President-Elect will appoint @RobertKennedyJr to @HHSGov. He helped us defeat vaccine mandates in Colorado in 2019 and will help make America healthy again by shaking up HHS and FDA. I hope he leans into personal choice on vaccines rather than bans (which I think are terrible, just like mandates) but what I’m most optimistic about is taking on big pharma and the corporate ag oligopoly to improve our health. Before you mock him or disagree, I want to share with you some quotes that if he follows through show why I’m excited:
“Level the playing field for Americans internationally on drug costs…cap drug prices so that companies can’t charge Americans substantially more than Europeans pay." YES! Colorado currently has an application just SITTING at FDA for us to import low-cost prescription drugs from Canada and we just need their approval.
"In some categories, there are entire departments, like the nutrition department at the FDA that are – that have to go, that are not doing their job, they're not protecting our kids," YES! The entire nutrition regime is dominated by big corporate ag rather than human health and they do more harm than good
“We’ve got to get off of pesticide-intensive agriculture.” YES! We have tried unsuccessfully to better protect people and pollinators from harmful pesticides here in Colorado and we need all the help we can get to take on big chemical companies and improve human health and the environment! For our pollinators and our people! 🦋
He will face strong special interest opposition on these, but I look forward to partnering with him to truly make America healthy again and I hope that we can finally make progress on these important issues.
64 years ago today, six-year-old Ruby Bridges became the first Black student to attend an all-white elementary school in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Her courage continues to inspire us as we fight to fulfill the promise of America.
I'm old enough to remember when polio ripped through the globe and put my six-year-old friends into iron lungs.
We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good.
RFK Jr being tapped to lead HHS is a disgrace.
#ACTUALNEWS: Elon Musk Met With Iran’s U.N. Ambassador, Iranian Officials Say (NYT)
The tech billionaire, a top adviser to President-elect Donald Trump, was reported to have discussed ways to defuse tensions between Iran and the United States.
Tapper: What he says about childhood vaccines is false. They don't cause autism.
Banks: Trump won the popular vote… Mandatory vaccines is a topic that a lot of American voters want us to tackle..
Progressives signing off Twitter so they can communicate in a bubble is the kind of behavior that gets Republicans to 35-40 states next election. You can not win by communicating only to people who agree with you.
