lol, useless, just like sanders. want to do something real liz, introduce a bill to hold healthcare insurance ceo's personally liable for denying medically necessary and professionally ordered medical procedures and prescriptions. that'd be something. but she won't do that. holding "capitalism" accountable, whatever the fuck that means, means nothing gets done, she risks nothing, we gain nothing.
I guess we should just never try then. Wrap it up everybody, we're stuck like this forever because no one is good enough.
never try to do fucking what, what exactly do you think she's "trying to do" here
Pretty words. Will never be implemented. Why was it not introduced when it had a chance to pass? Or at least invoke more talk?
As it is now, hardly anyone will hear of it and it will be forgotten soon, except as a sound bite promoting fund drives.
And so I say again, I guess we should just never try then.
Technically this bill is not trying. It’s grifting.
The only point of her making this bill is to help her fund raisers later.
There are many people trying
Both her and sanders have repeatedly pushed for Medicare for all which would destroy the private health insurance industry.
Did you read the article or just the headline? Because it does have some effective means of disempowering the corporate class.
If 40% of the board of united was chosen by employees then they would have some influence in choosing a CEO that won't fire them and replace them with an ai to reject claims.
