Literally every peer country regulates hospital prices, whether it has a single payer or multi payer system. That's why literally every peer country has far lower costs!
Preview of Medicare for All. Government will dictate prices and then try to control supply by wielding control over hospital systems that employee 80% of physicians. It will never work. Price controls create shortages. Medicare for All will absolutely make healthcare less accessible.

This is silly. They are responding to the exact same information, but gamblers have incentive to act on it faster. Kalshi traders were still wrong about lots of races, and the only real value in the few minutes they get the right calls before news outlets is … for gambling.
The NYT STARTED their needle at 8:37pm Kalshi was already at 99% house, 98% Senate The future of news is real time and markets based 💚

Virginia Foxx was a hateful and personally mean-spirited vestige of Helms politics. Now to be replaced by a normal dad who ran, in part, because he wanted to protect an LGBT family member from discrimination.
News & Observer: Chuck Hubbard (D) wins North Carolina’s 5th congressional district, defeating Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC). 🟦Democratic flip

👀👀👀 Hawley’s first tweet post-election results and it’s about breaking up big healthcare corporations. He’s in the running to potentially be top Republican on HELP next year… Hawley has also co-sponsored legislation with progressive Dems on Most Favored Nation drug pricing
Good. All these huge companies gobbling up local pharmacies should be broken up

Want to know how to combine great policy with great politics? There is no one better than @SherrodBrown. Sorry crypto scammers, Wall St hucksters, and AI elitists.
Thank you, Ohio. Let’s get to work.

YIKES. Roger Marshall’s closing message on spiking gas prices: “There are things more important than money to Kansans” This is the guy who sued his own patients for bills as small as $101, by the way #KSSEN

What Vivek Ramaswamy has done here is despicable beyond words
Amy Acton's brother slams Vivek Ramaswamy featuring her estranged mother in a campaign ad. "After he was arrested and Amy and I were removed from their custody, our birth mother stayed married to Amy’s rapist until he died. This desperate, disgusting attack reveals exactly who Vivek Ramaswamy is at his core – a pathetic excuse for a man who is willing to hurt anyone as long as it gets him what he wants."

Since 2000, hospital prices have risen 295% — triple the rate of overall inflation.

It is uncannily reassuring to see the architects of the current court-packed Corrupt Majority suddenly sensing that the public may have run low on patience with the group who turned SCOTUS into a anti-constitutional Guardian Council. There's never been a more corrupt ...

Watch our newest ad, where Kansas doctors agree Roger Marshall broke his oath to care for his patients by charging predatory 18% interest and having them arrested over debts as low as $115
Kansas doctors: The healthcare system is broken. Roger Marshall is making it worse.

Roger Marshall REALLY doesn't want you to see this ad... Meischa's story is true. Roger Marshall and his lawyers can’t hide the truth about his record from Kansas voters.
Meischa was Roger Marshall's patient. This is her story.

The thing about these "Democratic politician was MEAN" stories is that a lot of Democratic staffers deserve to be stuffed into a locker

The sad fact about this story is that there are a lot of people in DC who will read this and simply shrug and say, “it’s just the way Washington has worked for decades.” And I’m sure senators (who should be quaking about a story like this) have instead convinced themselves that this isn’t even illegal and if it is, it will take years (or never) for law enforcement to build a case. The swamp is a real thing, this admin didn’t drain it, they monetized it. There’s an extra layer of rot in this town at the moment and everyone who has lived and worked here for a while knows it.
New: In late 2024, FBI investigators had enough evidence to launch a sweeping bribery probe that could ensnare top lawmakers, including Sen. Susan Collins. Then Trump was reelected and eviscerated the FBI and DOJ teams handling public corruption probes. propub.li/4yLLwaF

It turns out Big Tech billionaires don't like when you promise to put workers before billionaires. Too bad.

I am righteously indignant over the wealth transfer to the very few that these bubbles create. The whole system is about creating bubbles so the grift can happen, both inside companies, transferring wealth to their employees at obscene rates, and in politics, as we see all over.

oh my god "One, whom Mr. Marshall sued in 2004 for $1,200, asked that she not be held liable for care she received 'for me and my twins (who I lost).' She was still found responsible for the bill."
New exclusive: In his 25 years as an OBGYN, Sen. Roger Marshall of Kansas repeatedly sued patients for outstanding medical debt. At least 81 were arrested during their court proceedings. Some had debt from c-sections; others from miscarriages.

NEW AD: 14 years ago today, Ken Paxton stole someone's $1,000 pen. Today, Ken Paxton’s pen victim is endorsing James Talarico.
