Sadly no. She's dropped her support for Medicare for all. We'll be closer than likely ever before, and we might get an option to buy in to Medicare or Medicaid, our two government run systems. If we ever got enough in Congress and Senate to push Medicare for all through, I'm pretty sure she'd sign it, and I don't think she's fight against it, but her focus is on Obamacare, because she's now so tied to the Obama admin through Biden.
Her campaign has said she would not push for single payer as President, but it's important to remember that those kinds of promises can be broken just as easily as the usual campaign promises to do things which never materialize.
If she gets into office, progressive pressure needs to ramp up and stay up; the real goal should be the 2026 midterms.
Perfect example of how the conservative goal is not to "make things better for most people" but to "make things worse for specific groups"
Yup! Wilhoit's Law is alive and well in the fascist Republican party!
"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition. There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”
He makes a great case for voting for Kamala.
I'm one of those people that only has healthcare because of the healthcare program. I have an insufferable time dealing with disability and the state. The quality of care is still absolute trash in reality, but such is a world where real science is completely undermined by capitalism commercialism nonsense. What is not known, and what is not treatable falls into a massive blind spot in the present scheme. Three sigma and cherry picking are not science; five sigma and double blind studies, without fitting findings to results are the realm of all real science.
Ultimately, ethical healthcare means the end of the era of this pseudoscientific nonsense industry of our present barbarism. Privateer pirate criminals hate that kind of progress in society. Ethics really chop their balls off.
"very popular private health insurance"
I'm not an American, but I suspect this is a lie..
Health insurance literally profits from not helping people as much as possible. I have no idea how anyone can think this is good, unless they profit from it too
I have excellent private health insurance and I absolutely hate those fuckers... it's only 'popular' in the sense that I'm not dead because I have it.
I feel like it's thanksgiving and everyone wants the crazy uncle to stop making speeches and just eat his ham and Mac n cheese
Maaaaan, whys it always gotta be a drunk uncle? Or a crazy uncle??? I'm an uncle, and the only speeches I give on thanksgiving are how the 1993 Super Mario Movie is BETTER than the recent animated one.
And I'm right!
Also Charles Martinet was and always has been a TERRIBLE voice for mario. He went from a gruff itailian brooklyn plumber to an accient so over the top, mario is the only one to ever use it.

Don't threaten me with a good time
I know, right?!
Unfortunately, Trump is lying as usual:
Harris, who has had shifting stances on health care in the past, confirmed in late July through her campaign that she no longer supports a single-payer health care system.
Sooooo.......universal health care?

Healthcare for everyone? I don't want that! I want everyone to pay for their own healthcare for the rest of their life! Even after i died, i want everyone to know i pay for my own healthcare for a while! Ten years, at least!
Did not expect a SNK reference in the wild on Lemmy.
