I only get 3, and still get pushback from the higher ups..

What I love is being told I can't call in sick, but then showing up sick and being told I shouldn't be there because I could make others sick. 🤷

Stop eating fast food and get a treadmill. Life has no guarantees.

@@WeatherManToBe yeah, that is rich! (double meaning intended)

@@Autofill1967 well there are a few guarantees in life, like the truth that Benjamin Franklin said: "..empty barrels make the most noise!"

FDR was called a socialist back then. And remember how we had 90% and 70% top tax rates in this country for the super wealthy who subsequently weren't as wealthy as they are nowadays. Nobody is even proposing anything remotely close to that right now.

Here is Teddy Roosevelt's Bull Moose Party Platform for 1912! Google it. "To destroy this invisible Government, to dissolve the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first task of the statesmanship of the day.[ To that end, the platform called for: Strict limits and disclosure requirements on political campaign contributions Registration of lobbyists Recording and publication of Congressional committee proceedings In the social sphere, the platform called for: A national health service to include all existing government medical agencies Social insurance, to provide for the elderly, the unemployed, and the disabled Limiting the ability of judges to order injunctions to limit labor strikes A minimum wage law for women An eight-hour workday A federal securities commission Farm relief Workers' compensation for work-related injuries An inheritance tax The political reforms proposed included: Women's suffrage Direct election of senators Primary elections for state and federal nominations Easier amending of the United States Constitution The platform also urged states to adopt measures for "direct democracy", including: The recall election (citizens may remove an elected official before the end of his term) The referendum (citizens may decide on a law by popular vote) The initiative (citizens may propose a law by petition and enact it by popular vote) Judicial recall (when a court declares a law unconstitutional, the citizens may override that ruling by popular vote) Sure looks like Republican Teddy Roosevelt was a democratic socialist. That includes FDR who won the south in 4 elections. Why are you Southerner's voting for these Republican carpetbaggers and racist Dixiecrat's?? An what is Trump doing? Trying to destroy Social Security! and Medicare! The choice is plain as the nose on your face!"

Captain Clone Because they don’t know history, and would rather trust a RU-vid video to learn something, but only if the creator is “correct” politically. Everything else is a conspiracy theory now.

Tommy Douglas is one of the most respected Canadians ever, even in recent polls. It's a real eye opener

I dare you to try to take away an Alberta conservative's universal healthcare. It would be like trying to take away a Southerner's guns.

Nailed it! He's repugnant.

Yes what a jerk

That was also my first impression on him. He has that smirk on his face like everything is a big joke.

and he has the big head to ho along with it.

And the brain of an uneducated Republican.

The military example is a perfect one - because you can't face external threats to freedom if you're already dead from being too stupid to do whatever you can to maintain healthy troops... ...and in this case, you won't have a pool of eligible people to volunteer to fight if their lungs are scarred or worse, dead.

And everyone can get preventive help. I was listening to a guy saying he tried to get a test in case he was infected after coming back from Italy and the hospital wanted $3000!! So he just went home. That situation is bad for everyone.

The tests are $3000, so your government can force you to have one, then sue you for the money, then allow your super overpriced insurance to not pay for your treatment. 3rd world country.

laura lee thank you!

@@michaelrch Half of Americans cant cope with an 400 dollar sudden expense , visit to hospital cost that in USA and now imagine you have kids and need food stamps when Walmart dont pay you a living wage ,while the owners get 10 000 000 dollar every day ... you dont go to a hospital . Also US rural area hospitals today are already financed by tax money , over 85 % of their income is from Medicare and Medicaid , not from peoples insurances . Then you have the other issue , USA has lost on average , a hospital every week , from 1970 to today ... thats over 2500 hospitals less today than year 1970 . (1/3 of the total)

1 out of every 2 Latino votes in Nevada went for Sanders.

Julie Ma we love our latinos.

Depends on the Latinx, SW generally Dems, left of center though not "far left", Fl typically GOP, bc they came here illegally from Cuba pretty much solely to be Capitalists. I know a vast many of them, lol. It's so funny bc they are actually very much Socialists in every idea except money, we have arguments all the time. I call them greedy socialists, they believe in all the social welfare programs, they just also wanna be rich and idolized America's wealth. So yeah those Latinx, yeah they're "moderates" but not really. They'll have a "Come to Jesus moment" and get it straightened out, my Cuban Floridians, I believe in y'all.

Julie Ma labels are subjective

Julie Ma Most are culturally conservative but the RW treats them so terribly they can’t even get 40% of their vote.

Afterward, Trump will say only 10,000 people died out of 327 million, so I am doing a fantastic job. Someone told me, In the history of Virus pandemic, I am the best to control the disease.

It was bound to happen at some point.

rckblzr12 that’s the point. It was bound to happen and the complete lack of acknowledgement that this is a problem, is a problem

Within 24 hrs someone died ? Well Holy Schiff !

exactly...he is a great passive murderer when he said that

he was very popular in this state and Humphrey as well

Jeano Gato If you are dead then it won’t matter.

Obama did and put no-one in jail. That's on the left.

George W. Bush set this Up...then (Center Left) Obama, in cahoots with asshole Rahm and COMPLICIT Holder followed through. That's why I voted for Bernie in 2016. I vote in three days. I am still undecided. #NeverJoe

And when big business got a big tax break what did they do?

Talk about socialism or corporate welfare..

@@buncmanone Bernie is the only one who can beat Trump in my opinion

I wonder where Buck got his "spin doctor" degree?

This has become so annoying. tRump spewing nonstop his hatred lies and/or pure nonsense and his fundamentalist pundits spinning everything to something completely different just so they can live with this shit

@@Sweet.Mother.of.Cheesus just like the Democrats did with Obama... welcome to American politics.

@@cameron6262 Yeah like that talking point. Thanks for pointing that out.

He reminds me of trump jr.

To me it is projection. They deny they are the one with the mental disorder by claiming someone else has it or is worse.

No, it's a genuine problem that people have. They hate Trump so much it makes them say absurd things and believe hoax's. Just like the hoax that coronavirus is Trumps fault.

Tregerikson Setty The virus isn’t his fault, but the terrible response is 100% due to his administration’s ineptitude. It’s a total failure at every level.

@@treg_setty I have NOT heard ANYONE say the Coronavirus was Trumps fault! THAT IS A LIE! But Trump has lied about it continually, as has Rush Limbaugh and the other Trump sycophants. That the warm weather in April will kill the virus. But Trump Cut the funding to the CDC and other health agencies to increase funding for the wall. He literally said the wall will keep the virus out!

'Trump Derangement Syndrome' has always been Projection Writ Large by Lead Paint Nation

Which is why a public option, like most of Europe offers is so vital. Sadly, Obama tried to get it enacted, and the best compromise he could get was the ACA.

Costs $120 for urgent care check up and $275 for lab to test for Caronavirus

The pandemic will get worse. Watch what will happen in europe. They have your idealized version of healthcare and the virus will spread regardless. Doesn't matter how much money we throw at this problem, our response to it was far too lazy. It's over.

​@@deborahfreedman333 That's why we gotta get Medicare for all!

imzjustplayin our response isn’t lazy. It is that it is a virus spread via the air. Just like any other cold virus. The only difference is the long incubation period to allow it to spread across greater distances due to the ease of travel we enjoy now. 80 percent of the people that get it barely have symptoms. I believe this is overhyped to cause a recession and this is really no different than any Influenza virus. 120,000 have been hospitalized and 8,000 have died in the U.S. alone this year from the Flu. But it is not as sexy as the Corona Virus because it has been around forever.

David Hutchinson Michael Moore’s ‘where to invade next’ says it all!

Europeans have such great vacations - 6 weeks in summer and 6 weeks in winter. U.S. needs European socialist programs that coexist with capitalism.

One has now in Washington.

Yeah, that will change people’s minds. The deplorable thing worked so well lol

Good one, it has many more layers of analysis than three lines.

Amazing, isn't it.

pigatt1 it’s not terrorism when Americans do it, it’s extremism.

Epidemics put a hole in the idea that single payer healthcare actually is worth a shit.

@@imzjustplayin , not if everyone is getting treatment, dingus. You just made his argument for him lol.

@@ChadVital How you can get treatment for something that is transmissible when you're asymptomatic and has a 24 day incubation period? Go watch how this thing spreads and how the countries with single payer healthcare systems will fare no better than our system. You'll see, it won't matter, it's so virulent that it will take over regardless of the health system.

Well said

Of course you do. Cause that's what it's like living in a society that cares about one another.

Yes but the idea is that even accounting for the money you pay in taxes it's works out to be less than the premiums/copays shelled out for private insurance, and not to mention you might still be denied coverage after those costs.

@@fightfight6909 You can still be denied coverage NHS anyway. I prefer the crappy American system.

So does Joe Burrow so its ok.

*Coronavirus or COVID-19

In canada we can go to any hospital and get free tests. Ps: heres a glimpse into Canadian taxes and health care contributions. My husband made 43000 and paid 6300 in taxes. Im disabled(I dont collect disability or am on any type of government funded income)We just filed our taxes and we got back 2800 dollars. In 2019 we were able to go.at any time to any hospital and seek healthcare. We also have health insurance through employment but the only thing that helps is the cost of prescription drugs(also depends because there are programs that make sure people with diabetes etc will always have access to meds, employee insured or not). So it can he done and you dont have to go bankrupt

I see that happening zero times.

@@squid_fish Should just COVID-19, since there are many coronaviruses.

MusicfromMarrs Post your source -- link please ! Sanders supporters aren't well in formed -- just well indoctrinated . They make bold claims but never have any resources to back up their claims .Like Trump supporters Bernie bros spread a lot of misinformation , and Sanders propaganda that just aren't true . They spout talking points like they are facts , so please indulge me with where you get your stats .

@@AndiDuck morningconsult.com/2020-democratic-primary/ latest morning consult poll has Bernie as second choice for ALL candidates' voters except Bloomberg, where he's close behind Biden. Voters don't really think in terms of the 'progressive' and 'moderate' lanes that pundits do.

I almost feel like the primaries should institute ranked ballots so that in the event no one has a majority come the convention the will of the voters will still be honored by looking at their second choice etc.

@@AndiDuck Thanks for the insults; they don't stick, however. I'd be happy with either Warren or Sanders. As an Iowan, I can assure I'm well-informed, just because we get 2 1/2 years of campaigning to hear, read, and fact check. I don't remember which source I originally read on this, but here's a WaPo link. The Hill has this also reported this, and I'm going to provide a weekly report from the Morning Consult after this reply. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/01/28/new-national-poll-answers-critical-question-who-is-second-choice-democratic-voters/

@@AndiDuck you're welcome, BTW :D morningconsult.com/2020-democratic-primary/

you really can't blame Trump for a virus, it's not like the CDC magically makes outbreaks nit happen when they have more money

@@victorvelie3980 thats actually the reason they exist. the DC in CDC stands for DISEASE and CONTROL

@@cardenfoy Fake news. CDC wasn't defunded.

@@cardenfoy control indicates that the purpose of the organization is to limit the spread of disease as much as possible. It is not capable of preventing disease outbreaks from happening apart from encouraging vaccinations for known diseases like polio or measles

@@victorvelie3980 which is hard to do when the people defund government and dont believe in science

that would require honesty and compassion . i'm a cynical optimist so I won't hold my breath . God help us all . of course you're right . it's too simple and humane . not enough room to manipulate and profit .

Not plausible in a system in which the winner takes it all. And Wall Street will work against it too

@@Hirnlego999 There is no real change without the loss of power. That's just a fact that most peple on Wall Street and in the establishment are afraid of cause they know it's true.

Socialism sucks, it’s never worked on a large scale, nor will it. If people were perfect it would work, but we aren’t. We are prone to corruption and that is why the systems won’t work.

@@AC_0039 It's actually more to do with the fact that USSR for instance left it behind (which Animal Farm is about). At its root socialism is about fixing the problems of classical liberalism and empowering the worker. It's this what also helped the middle-class post depression and what they lost in 1978, when the corporate power started to take over again. Having this in perspective it becomes easy to understand why capitalists have embraced China, because if you actually want to spread Marxism in China you are the enemy of the state: edition.cnn.com/2018/11/13/asia/china-student-marxist-missing-intl/index.html?T07%3A30%3A14&CNNi The rich people have never been fans of helping the masses, so they will embrace any ideology which benefits them.

The true meaning of Socialism will never happen here in the US. I think people mes it up with Social Democracy.

And what are you gonna do about wages in healthcare? Because they are much lower in all.other advanced countries? Most people can't afford healthcare and if you get rid of private insurance we'll still be paying 80% more instead of 100% more unless the gov renegotiates prices. And loads of people work in healthcare now. How can.you get that through? Bc healthcare here is one giant ripoff.

@@joehoang4826 of course the prices will change. No more price gouging on stuff like insulin and epipens which cost about $2 to make and the corporations charge patients hundreds for them. Also, medics will probably make less money like they do in other countries. But this is part of why this is so complicated. This is also why all the people that want single payer healthcare for all also want free college. Doctors need to charge a lot because they pay a lot for their degrees and their malpractice insurance and licensing and certifications. All that would need to be changed and streamlined.

acidfromhell Prices with Medicare for all will go down. In theory then the gov has a lot of power to negotiate prices. But the medical lobby is very powerful and so many people now work in healthcare. We never had this many people working in health care. And even if you don't, many have family that do. So lowering their wages would cause problems even though they should

Moscow Mitch denied KYcare as Obama care, and MAGA people in Ky said kill OBAMA care, but keep KY care, and other people pointed out the truth, KY MAGA people said fake news.

😉👍 You mean the for-profit healthcare system designed by the rabid right wing heritage foundation aka Romneycare aka Obamacare to keep making profits off sick and dying people? 🤗 We all know it would be more efficient if the government addressed it… Like 38 of the 39 industrialized countries of the world including UK, Canada, Japan, Denmark, Norway and so many more. 🤔How about if we did not have a socialist military and instead everybody was in it for themselves? 🤔How would we defend this country? How about the socialist police departments across the country? 🤔How could we be safe from most criminals, if everybody had to do their own police work? 😉👍Same with socialist fire departments… Who can afford to pay out-of-pocket for fire department services that are privately run for profit? It won't work. 🤮👎 🤑Why can't this principle be applied to healthcare? Because it benefits the American people and takes the for-profit insurance companies out of the picture for almost all Americans which saves billions and billions of dollars while protecting all Americans by ensuring a minimum physical check up and follow up by individuals early in the development of any disease instead of waiting until it is catastrophic. 😘 Simply, the health insurance companies add ZERO VALUE to the healthcare process. What do we need them for? Can anyone answer that? It's to make money off of sick people and deny them healthcare while putting the "savings" and profits into the pockets of a few investors. 🤑🤢🤮🤮 instead of caring for our fellow Americans, we are legislated into providing profits for greedy people who don't care about your health. A private 🔥 department rolls up to your house and states that you did not pay so they will not save your house. It does not happen because we all agree to pay taxes that provide this socialist service. Stop using the words "socialist" and "socialism" as something bad. It's the entire nation contributing to BENEFIT ALL OF US. Absolutely nothing wrong with that!👍👍

@@clarityofmind7317 Private health care isn't bad per se; unregulated private healthcare is quite another. US healthcare can remain private, but the government will have to take the reigns: 1. Government should mandate what is covered by all insurers in basic coverage, in a 1st level improved package, and a 2nd level improved package with the very luxury treatment items to be included in packages free to be composed by the insurers 2. Each insurer must be mandated to offer their programs across the entire US. No more dividing up the country between insurers. This will ensure competition between insurers which will force them to drive down prices. People will no longer be limited in choosing between only two providers or even less. With standard composition of coverage they also only need to look at prices. 3. The government will cap the deductibles to a low level ($200-$400 per annum) so most people should be okay if they get sick. 4. All insurers should create an emergency fund to offset losses they may incur for providing treatment to those unable to pay 5. Government will set the prices of each treatment provided by the medical profession so there will no longer be need to negotiate with each medical professional... patients can then go to any medical facility and the treatment will be payed for 6. Procedures like a Cesarean delivery, plastic surgery, circumcision and such will only be covered when there is a medical necessity. Elective procedures will have to be paid for by the patient him/herself 7. Hospitals and pharmacies will be allowed to shop on the open market for drugs and will be allowed to choose generic variants to drive down prices. Most drugs is good, but some drugs will be excellent but much more expensive. The insurer will only be mandated to cover the generic, well-performing drug. If a patient demands the excellent drug he/she will have to pay the difference themselves 8. Insurers will no longer be allowed to provide collective healthcare against reduced prices; Also no difference between customers to cherry-pick the young and healthy as preferred clients. Everyone will be charged the same for the same package and everyone MUST be accepted that requests coverage. Healthcare is a complex issue but aforementioned points could be a good starting point. MediCare for all, no matter how sympathetic sounding, will not work. It will be run by civil servants with no motivation to improve and the tax-bill will be much higher without actually improving anything.
