    losing healthcare is not a concern

    I have to guess they had a pre-existing condition or were self employed or something under bush, and don’t consider “you could get fired or go into huge medical debt at any moment” a concern (they should)

      Yeah it’s a concern but my company saying “ insurance is going to make us drop some of you if you can’t pass a physical “ was really a meeting we had. So the possibility was way higher for sure.

        The things is, Dems could have given us a single payer system but they specifically chose not to. They could have completely removed the risk of losing healthcare for everyone but they chose not to.

          i wish people could see that democrats always rely on the “bad guy” excuse each time to kill a mildly progressive bill:

          • build back better blocked by manchin and sinema
          • immigration reform blocked by one random parliamentarian
          • single payer healthcare blocked by lieberman.
