It's amazing how many people disagree with that statement - even on the left. They want to keep the profit in health care and are fighting desperately to scuttle any talk of Medicare for all bills. They're happy with their employer plans and don't want to give them up - even for the greater good. The 'I've got mine' world view is too libertarian for me, I don't mind paying more taxes if everyone is covered.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
