them dishonestly opposing singlepayer like this at least makes it obvious they care about being a part of the dem establishment more than they care about access to healthcare for women.

i still laugh at that infographic someone at PP's PAC whipped up that essentially boiled down to "Bernie: Sponsored some poo poo, we guess; Hillary: *detailed listing of any PP-related thing she even so much as looked at*"

there are a few things in play here: the CO single-payer initiative was held the same time as the presidential election, and CO elected dems + "progressive" groups circled the wagon against the initiative; PP throws itself in with bad dems all the time, hence its endorsement of clinton in the primaries; bad dems love themselves some agenda-setting when it serves their needs; and like someone pointed out, with a full-out single-payer system PP would lose its relevance, especially when it comes to the vast majority of its services (hint: not abortions).

granted, the CO initiative never polled well and lost by a landslide, but to what extent that was due to elected pols of both parties (and "progressive" groups) and the local media opposing it, the insurance industry waging a multi-million-dollar ad campaign against it, or the particulars of this legislation is hard to determine.

but it makes me insane when I see lanyards dismiss federal single-payer or legislation like CA's by saying "if people wanted single-payer then the CO initiative wouldn't have failed" or "Vermont tried it and it failed" (no, the dem governor killed it after running for reelection on it, but it was never "tried").

disgusting. if these assholes are so worried about premiums they wouldn't be supporting keeping them high in california

if they're so concerned about women having good access to healthcare, they'd be clamoring for the singlepayer bill to be given a chance

I just googled this phrase to figure out who came up with it (having seen it from Freddie DeBoer). Check out the first result, from RationalWiki:

quote:

One problem with the "law" is that it sounds good and makes sense of the world for people, but it's pretty much not falsifiable.

instead of threatening planned parenthoods survival instead empower them to be the stopgap where the government may fall short and give them additional government funding, but make it contingent on single payer passing. otherwise they can remain as-is.

win-win

PP's primary endorsement is particularly galling bc prior to last year, they'd never made a dem primary endorsement, and chose to die on this particular Hill:




of course, they had absolutely nothing to say about Bob Casey holding a spot on Clinton's campaign committee, nor about her choosing Tim "Choose Life" Kaine as her veep.

from that article, apparently rendon sees singlepayer as a 2018 ballot issue

gently caress him and gently caress that. he has the votes for singlepayer now and instead he wants to dangle it in front of voters so he can get more votes. then he'll block it again anyway

i really hope thats not true, bc everyone deserves free access to birth control and contraceptives no matter what

the people that make salaries in PP would be endangered by single payer.

the reason why planned parenthood endorsed hillary is that going against hillary would have gotten you put on the enemies spreadsheet
