A new study has found that Medicare for All would save over 100,000 lives in the U.S. per year while also reducing Americans’ health care spending by more than $1 trillion annually. Yale University and University of Maryland researchers have estimated that the universal single payer health care system introduced in the Medicare for All Act would prevent 114,000 deaths per year.

    It’s so weird that anyone votes republican to me. They’re so obsessed with cultural issues that they don’t care if it burns the whole country into the ground.

    I also believe that centrist democrats push cultural issues for the same reason just to keep the general public from looking towards the wealthy and the exploitation of the working people.

        The only thing I disagree with in this picture is calling it fake.

        The two party system is unfortunately very real and working exactly how the two parties want it to.

          Politics in the US (or in fact the mainstream Politics in most countries without Proportional Voting) is like two cheeks of an arse - we get the same shit whilst we’re told that, no, they’re different, one is a Left Cheek and the other one is a Right Cheek.
