    "Then you start extending it to more people. I think kids are obvious, right? Children, thank God, are uncommonly healthy. And if they’re not healthy, they’re very sick, and so extending it to children is obvious.

    Extending it downward, right, from 65 eligibility age to 60, and then down into the 50s, 40s — that’s kind of what needs to happen."

    "So you’d basically sew up all the parts. You would include a full, robust Part D. You would have vision, dental and hearing. It would go to zero copay, deductible, premium. Done.

    At this point, if you offered that as traditional Medicare, the speed with which everybody would jump from Advantage would turn your head. That’s number one."

    "I mean, the whole gambit on Medicare Advantage is we give you some things on the front. We lobby to keep Medicare porous, so then we can offer you quote/unquote 'advantages' like vision, dental and hearing, which normal Medicare doesn’t offer."

    "So, you would make Medicare whole, because right now Medicare is extremely porous. You talk to seniors, and they’re like: Well, there are all these different parts, and it doesn’t cover vision, dental and hearing, and, and, and —"

    Klein:

    "And a lot of them are in Medicare Advantage plans…"

    El-Sayed:

    "And that whole scenario…"

    Klein:

    "…which are these private plans. And they like them."

    "The nature of the debate has changed so much because the nature of private health insurance has become so porous and so frustrating for so many.

    If we can’t, then the steps, even if you were to pass Medicare for all in January of 2029, where would we go from here? Well, the steps would kind of be the same, because there’s no light switch in the White House that turns on Medicare for all."

  31. 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.

  36. Well, this is disappointing.

    “In the last three weeks, documents reviewed by Drop Site reveal Jackson’s campaign has held at least three fundraisers with prominent Democratic fundraisers with favorable views of Israel’s military actions in the Middle East.”
