Americans deserve real solutions for the economic, social and environmental crises we face. But the broken political system is only making things worse. It's time to build a people's movement to end unemployment and poverty; avert climate catastrophe; build a sustainable, just economy; and recognize the dignity and human rights of every person. The power to create this new world is not in our hopes; it’s not in our dreams — it's in our hands.

It’s time to close the door on the discussion and move forward.
It’s not that people want to, but it’s become a necessity.

My parents recently got on Medicare and it came as a shock to me that they have copays for Medicare covered services. I thought the whole point of Medicare for all was that it was free and universal. Well it's not free.
Medicaid, on the other hand, is free. I have it. It's pretty dope. I think all people should have voluntary access to it. If it was expanded to include dental, how would Medicare be preferable to Medicaid.
Additionally, Medicaid can be expanded to every citizen in a state without new federal legislation and with only a nod from feds, because it's administration is decided by states rather than feds, even though it is funded by feds.
