Common Sense Policies For America
RESIST GOVERNMENT USE OF ID.me FOR IDENTITY VERIFICATION
Our governments should not be requiring us to provide personal identity information to a private, for-profit company in order to access government programs and information. It costs taxpayers money and their privacy. Boycott this if you can and contact your elected officials to protest.
ENDING SURPRISE HEALTH CARE BILLING COSTS LOTS OF MONEY
The 2020 No Surprises Act set up an arbitration process so patients didn’t get huge surprise medical bills. The result was profits for corporate capitalists and huge health care costs and waste. Patients pay for this through increased premiums with no improvements in health care quality or outcomes.
UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE SAVES LOTS OF LIVES AND MONEY
A universal, single-payer U.S. health care system could save 100,000 lives and $1 trillion. However, capitalism has corrupted health care, putting profits before patients, so the six corporations dominating Big Medicine with over $2 trillion in revenue and $34 billion in profits must be broken up.
CAPITALISM HAS CORRUPTED HEALTH CARE
Capitalism and its pursuit of profits have corrupted our health care system, resulting in the most expensive system in the world, but one that delivers poor outcomes. Three elements have driven this corruption: corporate consolidation, private equity, and privatization.
CORPORATE AMERICA IS WRECKING CAPITALISM
Trump’s deal with corporate elites is corrupt and undermines democracy. We all pay financially and with our freedom. Gerard Baker of The Wall Street Journal has written two columns that make a powerful statement about the damage America’s corporate elites and their style of capitalism have done.
IS TRUMP THE REAL COMMUNIST IN AMERICAN POLITICS?
Trump is the only politician calling for and taking government control of private companies and resources. At his direction, the government has taken stakes in at least nine companies. On the other hand, democratic socialists in the U.S. today are in the historical mainstream and are not communists.
SIGNS OF A RESURGENCE OF DEMOCRACY AND PROGRESSIVE POLICIES
An American oligarchy has battled for control of our country. There are signs of a resurgence of democracy and progressive policies, including a resurgence of unions, campaign finance reforms, and growing resistance to the Trump administration. We, the American people, can defeat the oligarchy.
THE AMERICAN STRUGGLE BETWEEN OLIGARCHY AND DEMOCRACY
An American oligarchy has battled for control of our country since its founding. In 1980, the American oligarchy re-emerged. Defenders of democracy are fighting back with growing protests against and resistance to King Trump. Please find and participate in an Oct. 18 No Kings protest.
