https://www.newsweek.com/69-percent...-46-percent-republicans-new-poll-says-1500187However, despite Medicare for All being touted by former Democratic presidential frontrunner Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Senate Democrats focused on healthcare reform have dismissed it, mostly because a national overhaul would remove whatever insurance Americans currently have, creating widespread instability and insecurity.
Many critics of Medicare for All worry also about "rationed" care that discriminates against sicker patients, an overall decline in the quality of care or the high taxes that would be required to fund such an overhaul. Furthermore, a national healthcare plan would only improve health outcomes if it coincided with large investments in local health centers and outreach efforts to make medical care more widely accessible and preventative.
The healthcare reform plan touted by presumptive Democratic Presidential nominee Joe Biden would leave employer-based health insurance plans intact while also adding a subsidized, Medicare-based public option for small businesses and individuals. However, large employers and their employees wouldn't be able to buy into his public option.
A February 26 report by the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget estimated that the 10-year cost of Biden's plan would be $2.25 trillion while Sanders' Medicare for All plan would cost $30.6 trillion.

You mentioned it, so I am within my rights to post this smashing hit.That article sounds eerily like a Righteous Gemstones episode, minus the main person in the photos killing people and then later showing the video to everyone in his inner circle.

it was the top reply under the tweet, im always fascinated by psycopaths like that.I'm confused. Are you saying you are unmoved? Is Ed Asante someone I should know? This was a weird repost.
It's a perfect thread. I still can't get over the Ubereats gift card bit.too funny by the way
Ok, thanks. This makes sense now. I would agree that a surprising number of people lack even basic empathy.it was the top reply under the tweet, im always fascinated by psycopaths like that.
"Analytically grounded opinionated, political junkie American" he cares about the facts not feelings!

https://www.al.com/news/2020/08/tommy-buyout-tubervilles-clueless-hypocrisy-is-way-too-much-fun.htmlTuberville has the nerve to tell regular working folks who lost their job due to circumstances beyond their control - a global pandemic - they don’t deserve $600 a week in unemployment benefits. This is a guy who has been paid millions from former employers NOT to work: $5.1 million from Auburn in 2008. Around $2 million from the University of Cincinnati in 2016.
Tuberville has been credited for starting the multi-million dollar buyout of coaches.
Tuberville was a pioneer in making unemployment a million dollar business for fire-able mediocre football coaches. Like himself. But now, as the Republican candidate for U.S. Senate, giving regular ol’ unemployed folks a fair shake is just “way too much.”
Welcome back to the drawing board, Coach Tuberville. I have a feeling you’re gonna be way too much fun.
As if this will make a difference. I lived in Bama during the last election. It took the republicans running a psychopathic pedophile to get a Dem win and it was STILL a close thing. That state is a lost cause.
A book about the Never Trump Republicans was reivewed here: https://newrepublic.com/article/158703/never-trumpers-already-won-review-saldin-teles-book
Basically what I've been screaming about - they're taking over the Dem party and moving it further right. It's written about 400 times better than my posts.
And then two of them confirm it:
1st
If Democrats Take the Senate, Our Democracy Is in a New Kind of Danger
(basically complaining that some Dems have said the filibuster might fall. that drivel is behind a paywall so I'm spared gnashing my teeth for 2 extra minutes).

you can read the article, it explains why he is attacked by both sides.If Roberts is getting attacked from both fringes then he's probably doing a fairly decent job.

Only if you consider consolidating more power and wealth into the hangs of the largest corporations and richest individuals, stripping the social safety net even further, granting employers more legal recourse than employees, increasing the economic inequalities, and creating a platform for more social conservative changes and subverting the more pluralistic economic values of the 60s-70s as "fairly decent job".If Roberts is getting attacked from both fringes then he's probably doing a fairly decent job.

I did read the article. It's the left wing view, which I expected when I saw Sriracha was the author. The fact that most Republicans are disappointed with him tells us all we need to know on him. He's clearly not a reliable rubber stamp for them, which can be regarded as a small win in terms of a Republican SCOTUS selection not going down the Scalia/Thomas route.you can read the article, it explains why he is attacked by both sides.
otoh, both the communist party and some generals disliked hitler, probably he was doing a god job.
Except most Republicans are not disappointed with him. The corporatists that want to increase income inequality and strip the social safety have been delighted with him. Even the most extreme social conservative activists are getting more of what they want than they realize:I did read the article.

Trump is currently the power structure of the Republican Party. Ask any Trumper what they think about Roberts and you will see how popular he is with Republicans at the moment.Except most Republicans are not disappointed with him.

I've already done that and they weren't disappointed at all. It's only a handful of activists that don't grasp legal theory that are unhappy. Read that article and you'll see why. You can't just make statements like 'most republicans" without backing that up, since its just not true that most Republicans are unhappy with him.Trump is currently the power structure of the Republican Party.
