CalCare, explained: A single payer system costs less & provides more care, for more people. AB 1900 is a "policy framework bill," not a fiscal one. Democrats opposing it on the basis of the latter demonstrate their allegiance to insurer interests over those of the people. youtu.be/TTTK7P60XXs

While billionaire-political party oligarchy moves to murder millions via denial of healthcare, the grassroots Single-Payer movement is poised to grow by leaps and bounds. It won't stop until victory. www.nationalnursesunited.org/press/assemb...

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... Quoted in the article, CA State Senator Akilah Weber Pierson opposed AB 2200, the Single-Payer policy framework bill with no significant fiscal burden on the state. IOW, she agrees with private insurer control over healthcare in CA.

CalCare is currently a POLICY FRAMEWORK bill. The Democratic Party supermajority is going to lie to the public and attempt to kill it based upon claiming it to be a burden on the State Budget again. CalCare is a COST-SAVINGS proposal with bipartisan support. Send reps a message: Advance CalCare!

Centrist Democrats moving rightward is a strategy that has failed many times before: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Children ending up in the ICU. Children trying to end their lives. Children refusing to eat and drink because the food has worms and the water makes them sick. Children held for 8 months or longer. These are the kids ICE holds at Dilley. They’re pleading to be let out.

“Evolution?” More like simply a sell-out capitulating to private insurance interests over the lives of millions. stocktonia.org/news/health/...

The people want an END to private insurer control of public healthcare funding and an end to extraction of those funds for private profit. Newsom has killed a POLICY-FRAMEWORK-ONLY bill, CalCare, in committee, twice. CalCare provides more care for less $$$$$. www.laprogressive.com/california-p...

Democrats and lying opportunists of Healthy CA Now and SB 770 “Unified Financing” lies are responsible for this in CA: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi. He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael. At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk. Wael died on Friday at age 30. ICE caused his death. They didn’t get to say goodbye.

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

Just a reminder that ICE claimed Marimar Martinez brandished a weapon too. Then they shot her five times. She survived, and body cam footage showed they lied. They’re lying about Alex Pretti too. He was witnessing. He was trying to help a woman. They killed him for it.

Both Democrats and Republicans are enemies of healthcare-for-all. They have zero qualms about committing mass murder. www.commondreams.org/news/democra...

“We don’t want Greenland We want healthcare”

My wife is a pediatric dentist, and ICE has been raiding businesses near her clinic. Everyday patients are canceling appointments because the parents are afraid to come near the office. Children's teeth are rotting because of this madness.

Physician-Journalist Shines Light on Measles Upsurge and New GLP-1 Study – KFF Health News KFF Health News editor-at-large for public health Céline Gounder discussed an increase in measles cases in the U.S. on CBS News’ CBS Mornings on Jan. 15. Gounder also discussed a new study on GLP-1 weight…

$1.5T for the military budget $170B for ICE and Border Patrol $1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet $470M to send National Guard into cities $230M for Trump's DOJ "compensation" $200M for Kristi Noem's jets $100M for Trump's golf outings But no money to lower your healthcare costs.

The 47-year-old Texas mother had to make a difficult choice when she found out her monthly healthcare premium was increasing in 2026 from what she described as a manageable $630 (£467) to an unaffordable $2,400 (£1,781). Is it time to enact Senate Bill 1506 yet? www.bbc.com/news/article...

The CA single-payer legislation that Democrats have killed in committee twice, CalCare, is a POLICY FRAMEWORK bill with negligible financial burden on the state. Regarding financing options, there are viable options, however. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/prisoners-...

In 2021 people on the right screamed about freedom and bodily autonomy. They refused to wear masks. Refused to get vaccinated. Said it was “tyranny”. In 2026 they’re urging “complete compliance” with unidentified masked men who are shooting people in the streets.

Nearly 15,000 nurses went on strike Monday in New York because management refused to agree to safe staffing levels for patients, the union said. It could evolve into a protracted labor battle coinciding with a severe flu season. https://wapo.st/4sDaV4i

🚨FDA upgraded a cheese recall to Class I (highest risk) over Listeria which can cause severe illness, miscarriage, or more rarely death- especially for pregnant people, elderly, or immunocompromised. Discard/return affected products. Can't help but wonder if cuts to USDA inspectors played a role? 🤔

Until we get serious guardrails in place for ICE and Border Patrol, Democrats must block funding to Trump and Kristi Noem’s DHS.

🔥 @markruffalo.bsky.social : “I gotta be honest, I’m not feeling so great. Renee Good was murdered... stormtroopers running around terrorizing. As much as I love all this, I can’t pretend all this crazy stuff isn’t happening. We have a president who says laws don’t apply to him- this is crazy.”

We need to be very clear: In CA, it is the DEMOCRATIC PARTY trifecta supermajority and their allies like Healthy CA Now that have repeatedly killed CalCare single-payer reform in committee. They are responsible for maintaining corporate control over healthcare. www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/s...

Baltimore Mayor: “Gun violence is a public health issue — we’re showing how to reduce violence the right way.”

The New York state health commissioner James McDonald said Friday the state is seeing a “more severe flu season than prior years.”

Chris Vasquez is proving that no one is more motivated to understand health care costs than a 26-year-old journalist with a marketplace plan.

We did it! We got enough signatures to force a vote on extending ACA subsidies. Imagine how furious Mike Johnson is going to be when we pass this! Now is the time to pressure your Members of Congress and help us get it done!

This is an important read by a researcher who has investigated the many deceptive and harmful practices of unregulated pregnancy centers in the US. It's astounding what these fake clinics are allowed to get away with.

A thing to remember is that this happens a lot and the reason cops aren't better at this is that they very rarely have to be.
