When my family was poor a couple decades ago we were on Medicaid and it was so simple compared to how complicated Medicare seems to be, including having copays, and medications generally not being covered, and different "Parts" (not to mention "Advantage"). We were able to take our kids to the doctor and get them meds, everything just worked with no extra work or money on our part.

I've said Medicare for all seems like a scam and what we really need is Medicaid for all for years now, nice to see I ain't the only one.

    Not the same at all, but I'm reminded of that incident in Lisbon a couple hundred years ago where an earthquake caused lit candles to start fires everywhere, but also a tsunami, which then flooded the place.

    I suppose, with a freaky enough series of incidents, anything could happen!

    That seems wrong. They're the only other major party, Republicans have to go after Democrats regardless of how close they are on whatever specific issues. Otherwise who else would they run against?

    But also, if you think Republicans are acting reasonably in the first place...
