As Attorney General of California, Kamala Harris took on insurance companies and Big Pharma and got them to lower prices. As a Senator, she fought Donald Trump’s attempts to repeal the Affordable Care Act.
Vice President Harris will make affordable health care a right, not a privilege by expanding and strengthening the Affordable Care Act and making permanent the Biden-Harris tax credit enhancements that are lowering health care premiums by an average of about $800 a year for millions of Americans. She’ll build on the Biden-Harris Administration’s successes in bringing down the cost of lifesaving prescription drugs for Medicare beneficiaries by extending the $35 cap on insulin and $2,000 cap on out-of-pocket spending for seniors to all Americans. Her tie-breaking vote on the Inflation Reduction Act gave Medicare the power to go toe to toe with Big Pharma and negotiate lower drug prices. As President, she’ll accelerate the negotiations to cover more drugs and lower prices for Americans. As Vice President, she also announced that medical debt will be removed from credit reports, and helped cancel $7 billion of medical debt for 3 million Americans. As President, she’ll work with states to cancel medical debt for even more Americans.
And Vice President Harris has led the Administration’s efforts to combat maternal mortality. Women nationwide are dying from childbirth at higher rates than in any other developed nation. The Vice President called on states to extend Medicaid postpartum coverage from two months to twelve: today, 46 states do so — up from just three near the Administration’s start.
Don’t worry, the current Democratic presidential campaign is continuing its strides toward universal healthcare by…
*drumroll*
…dropping it from their campaign platform.
“It’s 2008 and the latest marquee piece of Democratic legislation is flawed and stuffed with handouts to a useless and predatory industry, but it will be a stepping stone to something greater.”
“It’s 2021 and the latest marquee piece of Democratic legislation is flawed and stuffed with handouts to a useless and predatory industry, but it will be a stepping stone to something greater.”
“It’s 2028 and the latest marquee piece of Democratic legislation…”

Not so priceless after all.Also, if the pane of glass is so potentially vulnerable, why is no one telling the museum that it needs to beef up security?

Is this the result of the court cases or is Biden just putting up his middle finger now so it’s the last thing we see as he gets lowered into his grave?
Sorry, should’ve clarified “everyone” to mean swing state voters and the mysterious cryptid known as the moderate Republican because they’re the only ones who count under this system.

“Did you see that Kamala’s endorsing cryptocurrency now?”
“Well if Trump wins, he’ll… uh… he’ll…”Is Kamala’s campaign strategy to pander to everyone and pray no one catches the contradictions?
Also: have there been any other “spontaneous” student protests elsewhere in the world that might have put you in that frame of mind, Hil? Perhaps ones that conveniently put a milquetoast neoliberal in charge?
Twilight of the Boomers will be just parking them all in front of Rocky and Bullwinkle reruns so they can see those darn Ruskies get their comeuppance.

This is some really advanced economics, I’m going to need someone to break it down for me
The US is also currently involved in Sudan and probably had something to do with Bangladesh.
“I’m hungry”
“But I just gave you a piece of bread yesterday!”
“I need a little more than that to survive.”
“Trump wouldn’t have given you any bread. You should be happy with the piece I gave you!”
“But human nutritional-”
“NO BREAD NO BREAD THEY’RE EATING CATS AND DOGS”
Fun fact: this is greater than the total spending on transportation and infrastructure budgeted in the Inflation Reduction Act

Please do not do ecocide to own the libs and also remember to “rainbow your plate” with at least 5 servings of fresh fruit and veggies per day!
