10. Lessons never learned and why is that?

Although to be fair, it is also the Democratic Party leadership’s fault, since they and the neoliberal Democrats in Congress as well as Presidents Obama and Biden had multiple chances when they had control of both House and Senate to adopt the Medicare for All bill pushed by Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, but the majority of that party too prefer the huge campaign contributions the party and its candidates receive from the health care industry, which loathes the idea of socialized medicine.

Here’s a suggestion: If you have an Uncle Bob or Aunt Julie who is a Trumper or, or a friend at work who sports a red MAGA baseball cap, send them a link to this article and then talk to them about it. Tell friends who don’t like Trump about it too, and send them to this site, or write a letter to your local paper and make the case. We need publicly funded health care, not tariffs.



Indeed.
