A substantial majority of Americans support Medicare for All. Because they rely on the insurance industry for campaign donations, neither presidential candidate supports it.
If all goes our way on November 3rd, the Democrats will control both the Congress and the White House.
Yesterday, about 150 hotel workers who’d been laid off rallied in Grant Park Friday to call on their employers to continue providing health insurance.
They are among about 7,000 Chicago hotel workers represented by UNITE HERE Local 1 who are out of work, most since March.
It is obvious that if we had a system of national health care, some form of Medicare for all, those hotel workers would not be dependent of employer based health insurance.

I removed my brain from retirement and started researching. A move I made in a cross between frugality and something else, told me the dying did not need any pills, shots, or whatever–those were for the living. I stopped some and weaned off of others.
My constant pain was relieved and my vision restored almost immediately. The horrible liver pain stopped on a dime.
“What the hell…,” I thought.
I was close to kidney failure and that reversed. Many things reversed. My core body temp was going dangerously low [94.something.] I asked an MD about it and he said,

Good point, Joyce. Western medicine is no use whatsoever for the chronic conditions that plague most people nowadays. When I’m sick, I usually rely on acupuncture. Except for the eye drops I take for glaucoma and occasional fractures, wound care and urinary tract infections.
