Hillary Clinton on DSA: Write the Bills, Debate the Policies, Deliver Results

Did Hillary Clinton endorse DSA? Not exactly. Her Morning Joe remarks welcomed left-wing policy debate and challenged Democrats to turn slogans into legislation.

Es existiert doch noch Intelligenz in den USA!

Yale-Studie: Krankenversicherung für alle würde 1 Billion (1000 Milliarden) an Kosten sparen und jährlich 114.000 Menschenleben retten.

Mich würde nicht wundern, wenn Donald Trump jetzt einen Großangriff gegen Yale starten würde.

https://ysph.yale.edu/news-article/universal-health-coverage-could-save-one-trillion-dollars-and-114000-lives-every-year/

Falls wen die enormen Kosten wundern: In den USA leben so viele Menschen wie in halb Europa und die Kosten selbst für banalste Gesundheitsleistungen und Medikamente sind wirklich absurd hoch. Das dürfte also durchaus plausibel sein.

Stan Beshear wrote about a winner at yesterday's Congressional primary in New Hampshire:
"This is actually a BIG primary victory for the left. Shaheen pivoted left in the last few weeks, supporting #MedicareForAll, a data center moratorium, and an arms embargo on Israel. Her primary opponent, Maura Sullivan, was attacked for taking money from AIPAC."

Does DSA Belong in the Democratic Party? Rahm Emanuel Draws a Hard Line

Does DSA belong in the Democratic coalition? Emanuel says no. DSA’s strategy, recent election wins and major policy differences reveal a more complicated picture.

Private Equity Turned Apartments Into Profit Widgets—Then Tenants Paid the Price

A deadly Syracuse fire and years of violations expose a larger problem: financialized housing can reward revenue growth while tenants struggle for heat, safety, and repairs.

@rchusid
I forgot to add that true #SinglePayer #MedicareForAll also absolves employers, aka “the business community”, of the absurd responsibility of providing healthcare insurance. It’s a “pro-business” policy.

Beshear Rejects the Democratic Civil War: Make Room for DSA and Working-Class Politics

DSA victories are forcing a Democratic reckoning. Andy Beshear offers the smarter answer: welcome the left, debate policy, and unite around the economic pain families face.

Trump, Paxton, The Founders, And America’s Long Excuse For Powerful Men

Stop assuming corruption defeats MAGA. America’s history shows powerful men, from slaveholding founders to corporate-backed authoritarianism, get a pass unless people organize for accountability.

America Already Pays for Medicare for All—Wall Street Keeps the Difference

America pays more for worse healthcare because corporate middlemen extract wealth from illness. Medicare for All offers universal care at a lower total cost.

The AI Scare Is Y2K on Steroids—and Oligarchs Are Cashing In

The Y2K bug was real, but fear created a spending frenzy. Today’s AI panic repeats that playbook on steroids as corporations monetize anxiety, layoffs, energy use, and hype.

Angie Nixon illustrates that a DSA candidate is closer to Americans than Establishment Dems or Republicans.

Angie Nixon beat a $16 million opponent with organizing and economic populism. Her DSA affiliation matters less than the working-class policies voters recognize.

The US economy did not recover after the 2008 financial crisis and after COVID-19. Also corporate greed got worse after these two major crises.

Medicare for All Is Making a Comeback

https://piefed.social/c/politicaloptim[email protected]/p/2317570/medicare-for-all-is-making-a-comeback

@markmetz

While traveling in Asia, I got very sick and had to get care. The hotel clerk sent me to a clinic where late night (almost midnight) emergency care cost me, a foreigner, apx US$20 including the necessary prescription. My copay for a regular doctor visit in the US costs more than that.

It is long, LONG past time for the #USA to have #MedicareForAll or some other sort of universal #healthcare.

"Imagine a world where #health insurance wasn’t tied to your #job. Where employers didn’t have to negotiate w/health insurance companies... A world where you don’t have to worry about making “too much money,” so that you lose your comprehensive #healthcare (most people who work & receive #Medicaid are in jobs that don’t provide #insurance). That’s a world with #MedicareForAll...

health care shouldn’t be a luxury that only the rich can afford."

#Politics #News #US #USA

"The counter to this chaos is simple—and it’s something we’re starting to hear about on the stump from Democratic candidates....

We could have a national health insurance program, better known as “Medicare for All.” Given the wreckage of the #Trump era, Medicare for All has a lot to recommend."

#McConnell, out sick for two months, voted against medical leave 23 times since 1985

by Judd Legum, Rebecca Crosby, and Noel Sims, Aug 13, 2026

"Senator #MitchMcConnell (R-KY) was hospitalized on June 14 after suffering a fall that left him unconscious. He remained hospitalized until mid-July, when he was transferred to a rehabilitation center. On August 6, McConnell announced that he was discharged and was continuing his recovery at home.

"But, two months later, McConnell has not returned to work in the Senate. Over that period of time, he has missed 59 floor votes. Nevertheless, McConnell has continued to receive his Senate salary of $174,000 per year [!!!].

"McConnell is fortunate to be employed in a job with excellent benefits. There is no federal law, however, that provides guaranteed paid sick leave. In 2025, about 27 million private sector workers had no paid sick leave.

"One reason: Mitch McConnell."

#Trumporrhea is definitely not a ‘peaceful’ way to die, but if you have serious pre-existing conditions and consumed #TaylorFarms lettuce 🥬 tainted with #cyclospora in #Michigan and death ☠️ in inevitable, then *today* was the perfect day to ‘buy the farm’.

What better way to poignantly remind #MIsen voters that #MedicareForAll is on the #Democratic primary ballot tomorrow!

@rbreich As Australians, we need to take this report as a serious warning. The for-profit healthcare system in the US is a glaring example of how privatisation can lead to worse outcomes, higher costs, and inequity in care. Our Medicare system is something to be proud of, but we're at risk of heading down the same path of privatising our public hospitals and healthcare. Do we really want to follow a model where profits come before patients? We must protect and strengthen our public healthcare system, not give it away to offshore interests.

This is a nice breakdown of some differences between traditional Medicare, Medicare Advantage, and Medigap plans. It doesn’t go into what kind of crazy profits are made off of denying care.
