Guess he couldn't take the heat. We're going to see a lot more of these kinds of attacks. They've already been attacking Nina Turner whenever people bring her up as an alternative to Harris.

Thanks so much for your ongoing support.

Let me take this opportunity to give you an update as to what's been happening in recent weeks.

As you all know, the disastrous Republican "health care" proposals have, for the moment at least, been defeated. They were defeated because millions of Americans stood up and fought back. They made phone calls and sent emails, letting members of Congress know how they felt. They got their friends involved in the struggle by utilizing social media. They attended town hall meetings. They went to rallies, including some that I attended in Michigan, Maine, Nevada, Arizona, West Virginia, Ohio, Utah, Pennsylvania and Kentucky.

And in poll after poll, an overwhelming majority of the American people were absolutely clear about their opposition to these destructive plans:

No. We will not be throwing 32 million, 23 million, 22 million or 16 million Americans off of health insurance in order to give tax breaks to the rich and large corporations, and to further the right wing extremist ideology of the Koch brothers.

No. We will not be cutting Medicaid by $800 billion, raising premiums for older workers, defunding Planned Parenthood and making it almost impossible for people with pre-existing conditions to get affordable insurance.

Needless to say, while we have won at least a temporary victory by defeating horrific Republican proposals, that is not good enough. We need to go on the offensive, not simply remain in a defensive posture.

The status quo is not satisfactory. Too many Americans continue to have no health insurance. Too many are paying premiums, deductibles and co-payments that are much too high. Too many cannot afford the outrageously high cost of prescription drugs they need. Too many cannot gain access to high quality primary health care or dental care, even when they have insurance. Our goal is not complicated, and it is not radical. It is to have the United States join every other industrialized country on earth in guaranteeing health care for all. Health care must not be considered as a privilege or a commodity. It is a human right to which every man, woman and child is entitled.

Our goal is to create a rational, cost-effective health care system. Today in the United States, we are spending almost $10,000 a year per person on health care. This is absurd and unsustainable. We must not continue a system which is, by far, the most expensive, wasteful and bureaucratic in the world.

Our goal is to put health care dollars into disease prevention and the provision of health care, not insurance company profits, not outrageous salaries for health industry CEOs, not advertising, not billing, not lobbying or campaign contributions.

Our goal is to move this country to a Medicare-for-all, single-payer system.

Let me be clear. This will be an enormously difficult and prolonged struggle, and one which will require the efforts of tens of millions of Americans in every state in this country. It will, in fact, require a political revolution in which the American people participate in the political process in a way that we have not seen in the recent history of our democracy.

In order to pass a Medicare-for-all, single payer system we will be taking on the most powerful special interests in the country: Wall Street, the insurance companies, the drug companies, the corporate media, the Republican Party and the establishment wing of the Democratic Party. In opposition to our efforts there will be a never-ending barrage of TV ads, editorials, political attacks and lies.

If we are going to be successful in this struggle, we have got to be smart – very smart. Not only do we need strong legislation (which I will be offering shortly and an outline of which I will be sending to you), but we need an unprecedented organizing and educational campaign.

How do we counter the lies and distortions against Medicare-for-all that is sure to come? How do we make certain that all of us – men and women, gay and straight, black, white, Latino, Asian-American, Native American -– are in this struggle together? How do we bring young and healthy people to stand alongside the elderly, the sick and the poor?

The battle that we are undertaking is enormous and unprecedented in the modern history of our country. Please send us your ideas as to how we can best go forward. Please give us your vision of what a humane and rational health care system looks like. Please share your experiences with the current system. Please help us map out an effective political strategy.

We are in this together. We need everyone's ideas.

Thanks again for your support and all that you are doing.

In solidarity,

Bernie

It's the same way they've been reacting when the local government tries to build affordable housing in their neighborhoods or add a bus route from the city into their suburbs. liberals are die hard allies right up until the second their way of life is even remotely challenged in any way :shrug:

I appreciate the positive message but I wish Bernie would acknowledge the repeal failed not because of millions of Americans fighting back but because John McCains tumor made him decide he wanted to gently caress over Trump and McConnell at least once before he died. We're on the edge of a cliff with regards to Obamacare and if McCain keels over during recess and the governor Appoints someone worse, the first vote when the senate gets back will Be to finish the job.

collins and murkowski probably woultnt have voted against it if it their reelection didnt depend on it so actually standing up against it and it being deeply unpopular is the reason that threshold allowed mccain to do that in the first place

i like centrists trying hard to rehabilitate mccain's image so they can say "you should've been nice to mccain!"

like claiming bringing the bill up for debate prevented it from being reconsidered or somesuch bullshit instead of mccain being a dumb poo poo more devoted to decorum than the needs of his country

just a reminder that this is what democrats mean by "ACA improvements":

quote:

Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA): use an individual mandate to lower costs
Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV): improve savings, efficiency in health care system
Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT): need to get “good-thinking senators” into a room
Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA): reintroduce “copper plans” as a way to insure those not covered by Obamacare
Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN): lower drug prices, introduce “reinsurance” plan
Rep. Joe Crowley (D-NY): stop the assault on the Medicaid expansion
Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY): “We’re just fighting to save health care”

It's one thing to understand at an intellectual level that people are having to make these kinds of decisions, but stuff like this makes it more visceral and hits me in the chest. Then I remember that the democrats response to poo poo like this is that these people should spend more time on the ACA exchanges shopping for better deals and I want to start hitting them in the chest.

when some uninsured poor making 30k a year asks obama how the hell he's supposed to afford healthcare under obamacare, barack obama's first response is to essentially shame him for cable television or phone bills

congresspeople likely play games with votes. the party and congresspeople will vote in ways to maximize their popularity instead of reflect their actual support of a bill if they know what the final outcome of a vote will be. the final vote tally may not reflect the actual support for a bill.

The 2015 tax returns filed by U.S. Senate candidate Kamala Harris and her husband, Los Angeles attorney Douglas Emhoff, show that the couple earned $1.17 million that year, according to reports.

Harris’ tax returns, which were viewed and first reported by the Sacramento Bee, also showed that the California attorney general and her husband paid $450,000 in state and federal income taxes.

Harris campaign spokesman Nathan Click said journalists are being allowed to view the tax returns by appointment only.

Harris’ rival in the Senate race, Orange County Rep. Loretta Sanchez, provided her 2015 tax return to the Orange County Register and will not make those tax records available to other journalists until after that news organization publishes its story, said Sanchez campaign spokesman Luis Vizcaino.

Harris and Sanchez have net worths that likely run in the millions, according to federal and state financial disclosures.
