Active-duty Air Force Major Jason Watson stood on the Capitol steps in uniform and publicly called for Trump’s impeachment, conviction, and removal.
He said the illegal wars in Iran, Venezuela, and Cuba must stop.
That matters. Because this was not clout, theater, or empty outrage. This was a commissioned officer, still in uniform, taking a professional and personal risk to say what too many others stay silent about. When the brass went quiet, one Major stepped forward.
One man with the uniform still on had the courage the rest don’t.
Oath on the steps.
Oath to the people and not the throne.
Sacred Defense.

I don't disagree with anything you said, but for me and again I am a policy person that works with providers all over the country on a daily basis, I want a politician to still tell me what does it look like other than just enrolling people and everyone having health insurance?
And what happens if health outcomes don't iimprove?? Then what? We already know we spend the most on healthcare now and our outcomes are equivalent to a developing country.

I don't just want to know how you will enroll folks, but I want to know details:
How do plan to hold providers accountable for quality metric outcomes?
Improve Access to care with millions of more people coming on board? Access to Rural America??
Is there a plan to train more healthcare providers? What does that look like
Do you plan to use the France or Brazil or Denmark model or something else? Why
Do you plan to expand on the ACA??
Do you plan on using the Kaiser model other than what other countries have?? why?

1) Hold providers accountable with quality metric outcomes. (Pay the insurance companies to do it until it is internalized.
2) In a single payer world health access can be coordinated nationally instead of state by state. Rural places would have more access to resources in a national system.
3) That's a labor issue not a health insurance issue. If there is a shortage we encourage employment.
4) Model is irrellevant until we get a single payer system. Once we get a single payer system we can adjust as needed.
5) The easiest way is medicare for all.

You are worried about the details but the most important part is a single payer system. Given that you have given me all these examples of how it works in different ways does it really matter what model we pick? Any model that's a single payer system will be better than our current model. People use the lack of details as a reason not to vote for universal healthcare. The fear of change is what keeps us stuck in a quagmire of a failing system.

PabloReports: How do House Republicans make the case that you're fighting for affordability when you go back to your districts?

Nehls: Affordability? What are you talking about? I'm gonna go there tomorrow. I'm gonna get me a couple of big lobster tails. I'm gonna get me some nice rib eyes.

Reporter: Do you think the 60% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck can afford lobster tails and rib eyes and all of that?

Nehls: Maybe not. Maybe the 60% of Americans don't work as hard as I do.

No, he's right. In most of the other countries, you can still get private health insurance if you want to once you have paid into the national system.

Under MFA, you can't. That is the biggest factor, because you are never going to get a single payer system in this country if your plan is to force everyone to use it.

Again, I AM FOR UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE!!!!!!!!
I would fucking vote for it, but I still want to know details...

I work in the industry and these are valid questions to ask if you are making a change as it relates to universal healthcare. These are questions policy makers will want to know to see whether these proposals are Sustainable or not? I think it's valid to know some of the details of what politicans are proposing vs. just saying we want medicare for all

It's like when Biden said he would forgive student loans and he provided basic level details on how he would implement it

The Biden Administration's Student Loan Debt Relief Plan​

  1. Home
  2. Financial Aid
  3. The Biden Administration's Student Loan Debt Relief Plan
On August 24, 2022, President Joe Biden announcedopen_in_new that his administration will be forgiving (cancelling) up to $10,000 in student loan debt for millions of borrowers. Please read the following to learn more about the three-part plan, the types of loans this plan applies to, and which loan borrowers are eligible for this treatment.

Eligible Loans​

Currently and formerly enrolled undergraduate, graduate, and parent PLUS loan borrowers eligible for student loan debt forgiveness include:

  • Direct Loan borrowers with Direct Loans first disbursed on or before June 30, 2022;
  • Direct PLUS borrowers (parent and graduate) with Direct PLUS Loans first disbursed on or before June 30, 2022;
  • Direct Consolidation Loan borrowers for which the underlying consolidated Direct Loans have a first disbursement date on or before June 30, 2022;
  • Direct Consolidation Loan borrowers for which all of the underlying Family Federal Education Loan (FFEL) Program loans were held by the U.S. Department of Education (ED) and have a first disbursement date on or before June 30, 2022;
  • FFEL borrowers whose FFEL loans have been transferred to ED for servicing (so they are federally held) and have a first disbursement on or before June 30, 2022;
  • FFEL borrowers with FFEL Program loans held by ED or in default at a guaranty agency and have a first disbursement on or before June 30, 2022;
  • Federal Perkins Loan borrowers with Perkins Loans held by ED and have a first disbursement on or before June 30, 2022; and
  • Defaulted borrowers with loans (includes ED-held or commercially serviced Subsidized Stafford, Unsubsidized Stafford, parent PLUS, and graduate PLUS; and Perkins Loans held by ED).
Private (nonfederal) loans are not eligible for forgiveness. If the borrower consolidated federal loans into a private (non-federal) loan, the consolidated private loan is not eligible for debt forgiveness. ED is assessing whether to expand eligibility to borrowers with privately owned federal student loans, including FFEL and Perkins Loans.

Only federal student loans with an outstanding balance as of June 30, 2022, are eligible. Students who are enrolling after June 30, 2022 and who have loans with first disbursements after June 30, 2022 are not eligible for this forgiveness. Cash management rules in 34 CFR 668.164 continue to apply, and the school cannot retroactively disburse loans in order to qualify students for forgiveness.

FFEL borrowers may consolidate into a Direct Consolidation Loan in order to qualify for the loan forgiveness. Qualification for debt relief then will be based on the first disbursement dates of the underlying loans and not on the date of the consolidation loan (i.e., consolidation does not "reset the clock" for these borrowers). NASFAA is still awaiting confirmation on whether these borrowers are required to consolidate into a Direct Consolidation Loan and what the deadline for consolidation might be.

If borrowers are unsure of their loan type, as a general rule, if they were benefiting from the repayment pause, they have loans that qualify.

Part 1.​

Final extension of the student loan repayment pause

To ensure a smooth transition to repayment and prevent unnecessary defaults, the Biden-Harris Administration will extend the pause a final time through December 31, 2022, with payments resuming in January 2023.



Part 2.​

Providing targeted debt relief to low- and middle-income families

Eligibility: Borrowers are eligible for this relief if their individual income in 2020 or 2021 is less than $125,000 or $250,000 for married couples or heads of households.

Amounts:

  • Pell recipients (received at any time during their undergraduate): up to $20,000
  • Non-Pell recipients who meet eligibility: up to $10,000
In addition, borrowers who are employed by non-profits, the military, or federal, state, Tribal, or local government may be eligible to have all of their student loans forgiven through the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program. This is because of time-limited changes that waive certain eligibility criteria in the PSLF program. These temporary changes expire on October 31, 2022. For more information on eligibility and requirements, go to PSLF.govo pen_in_new.



Part 3.​

Make the student loan system more manageable for current and future borrowers

The rule would:

  • Require borrowers to pay no more than 5% of their discretionary income monthly on undergraduate loans. This is down from the 10% available under the most recent income-driven repayment plan.
  • Raise the amount of income that is considered non-discretionary income and therefore is protected from repayment, guaranteeing that no borrower earning under 225% of the federal poverty level—about the annual equivalent of a $15 minimum wage for a single borrower—will have to make a monthly payment.
  • Forgive loan balances after 10 years of payments, instead of 20 years, for borrowers with loan balances of $12,000 or less.
  • Cover the borrower's unpaid monthly interest, so that unlike other existing income-driven repayment plans, no borrower's loan balance will grow as long as they make their monthly payments—even when that monthly payment is $0 because their income is low.

That brother gets paid by the system you to want to eradicate. That’s asking one of those CACs upstate working at a prison why don’t they want to decriminalize certain things. They have an incentive to support it, that’s why they can’t abolish it.
