I saw another post on here that used the analogy of us getting nickel and dimed by the airlines after they were deregulated to show that the public would not buy the argument that overall cost would go down.

But, you know, that post made me think maybe we ought to re-regulate the airlines.

Your post, I agree with. Medicare for all would be the right thing to do, but it will take major political courage on the part of the whole Democratic party to roll over the billion dollar healthcare provider and big pharma lobbies.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
