If I get asked why I'm a socialist, depending on who's asking, I think of responding like this:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

Hello my #American #progressive and #leftist friends!

I want to make sure you all understand that #MedicareForAll is just a stepping stone on the path to #UniversalHealthcare. It’s not the end goal.

Medicare For All just replaces insurance companies deciding what to pay for and how much, with the government deciding what to pay for and how much. And Medicare reimbursement rates are not high enough for doctors and hospitals to survive on.

Thread 🧵

I saw this video from Abdul El-Sayed, Michigan senate candidate, talking about Medicare for All with Ezra Klein. His discussion has a lot more nuance than I've seen from other folks which makes sense given his background in public health.

I'll post the transcript for this video clip in the replies. Sources posted at the end of this thread including link to podcast and interview with transcript.
