There's really no need to get sour about it. Half and half politics and food chat is really pretty good for these threads.

Though personally I wouldn't mind seeing more heavy topics discussed.

Heard a report on NPR that exposing infants to peanuts actually reduces the incidence of peanut allergies by 80%.

More GOP desperation. The map is at this point stacked against the not-trumps and the hopes of convention shenanigans gets smaller with each state that falls to Trump. They want to be able to beat him in Ohio and Florida but he's going to win FL and is probably leading in OH too. He's been telling the press that he can seal the nomination if he wins those states to knock out Rufio and Kasich, which means he's been telling his spite-filled slit trench of a support base that they can get another poke in at the " establishment."

I'm not saying this to argue, because, like most Bernie supporters in here I think, I'd be perfectly fine with Hillary in the White House too, but isn't she even less likely to bring about nationalized health care? Not that anyone would expect her to make it a plank, since, contrary to the belief of 2008 voters, presidents are not actually endowed with magic wands upon inauguration, but it's interesting to me how we prioritize in our hearts vs. how we prioritize in the voting booth. Being a leftist in America always means compromising on a presidential candidate, but do you think Hillary's healthcare plan is better or more achievable, or is it just that she's strong enough on other issues that you'll take the loss on healthcare?

I'm falling to far behind to keep this conversation going .. so this will probably be my last post for awhile. And I do see this as a conversation, not an argument.

I think Hillary's is both better and more achievable. Although the latter strongly influences the former for me.

She is taking a two pronged approach. At the state level she is putting the screws on folks who refused the Medicaid expansion. Her campaign is very focused on local messaging in each state and if you just look at the national coverage you miss the regional messaging but her local adds and speeches in states that refused Medicaid expansion call out the governor's who did so. When Medicaid was passed originally it took 17 years before all the states accepted it. People grand stood and pitched fits but denying health care to your citizens that everyone else was getting was a losing strategy electorally. Expansion is thus feasible and would bring tangible benefits to millions of Americans. Pushing it also might help a lot in down ticket races in GOP held states.

Side note: Bel Edwards accepted Medicaid expansion in Louisiana this January =). 19 states to go. ~3.5 million expansion eligible people between them.

http://www.nola.com/politics/index.ssf/2016/01/john_bel_edwards_medicaid.html


At the federal level she is pushing improvements to the ACA and a public option.

https://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/health-care/

A lot of that is unlikely to pass but I really like the plan to do public service announcements and outreach to get an estimated 16 million signed up who don't appear to realize that they are now Medicaid eligible due to the ACA. To bad GOP controlled congress, these laws are already passed! Muahahaha! It's just helping people to claim their benefits. That said, if you know someone for whom ACA subsidies are not enough, ask them if they've checked to see if they are Medicaid eligible under the ACA.

It's not full NHS now. But coming up with a realistic path to getting almost 20 million people Medicaid benefits isn't nothing. There are only about 33 million uninsured left so that would be tremendous progress.

I'm a buck-toothed Englishman so I apologise for not knowing this, but could someone explain how your Senate works? I get that the House of Representatives is like our House of Commons, with candidates standing for their party across the 400-ish constituencies grouped by population, and when we say the Republicans control the House that means they have a majority of the seats. But I thought the Senate always had 100 senators, one from each party for each state, so what does it mean for the Senate to be "Republican-controlled"?

Pretty much my entire understanding of the US political system comes from House of Cards. It's still pretty weird to me that you can have the Democrat party running the country but be constantly hosed by the Republican-controlled House, although in retrospect I now wish we had something like that.

It's not one from each party, they're elected at large by each state so states with large proportions of rurals will elect two republican senators while states with more people living in civilized areas tend to elect two Democrats.

House races are a district level race every 2 years whereas senate races are state level races every 6 years (offsetting). As such, you can, and often do, get both senators from the same party. Most of the time when there's a split, it's because of demographic changes between the election of the senators.
