We're Being Mugged

Hey Everyone!

Happy February! Now that the holiday season is over, I thought this might be a good time to reflect a bit and consider some of the issues that you should be taking into account when casting your vote in the primary elections that will start this month.

Imagine your world is crumbling around you. Your ability to continue working at your job is in serious question. Your family and closest friends are constantly worried and on edge, and that anxiety is causing strain on those relationships. Your own body is betraying you, breaking down, not functioning the way you need it to, actively causing you pain. And then, as you're walking down the street, hurrying to get to work or your doctor or even just home so you can rest, someone steps out of the shadows and sticks a gun in your face. "Your money or your life."

That's health insurance. That's what millions of Americans face every day when life happens and all the sudden they or their family members are confronted by their own mortality and find themselves fighting to survive due to serious illness or injury. When life is most difficult, the insurance cartel shakes them down and makes things just that much harder. And woe betides those who can't pay up. Because that's a death sentence.

And this is what some politicians keep claiming that the American people want to preserve? This is what they say we're afraid of losing? Seriously? We are clinging to our right to be mugged by thugs who do nothing but take our money and threaten our lives? Medicare For All is the only way to put a stop to this, and the polling proves that most Americans understand that and want it.

Peace!
