His past proposals suggest ACA and Medicaid tightening. Kamala Harris would strengthen the ACA, she says, and limit out-of-pocket drug costs in Medicare and beyond. Neither supports single payer. Veterans Care Under Attack February 26, 2024 Post An article in the American Prospect lays out how the Veterans Health Administration public approach to care – effective & efficient – is under siege, pushed at great cost to privatization. Not only by the proposed GOP/MAGA gutting, but by a complicit current administration. Reminders that Private Insurers Use Shady Tactics to Manipulate and Deceive Us February 8, 2024 Post “Free” preventive services that cost patients hundreds of dollars.
