I'm going to highlight the Democratic platform today for healthcare. I'm doing this because a lot of ppl don't read the platform and lie abt it a lot. It's annoying.

1. Fix the havoc wrecked on the ACA by Republicans.
2. Every US citizen gets healthcare insurance.
3. A PUBLIC OPTION.
4. Increase tax credits, lower premiums, and offer better coverage than some ppls' jobs do
5. The above was calculated on a Gold premium plan so better insurance
6. Expand medicaid in all states/automatic enrollment for SNAP and other programs
7. No more surprise billing from your healthcare providers for things "not covered"
8. Break up the big insurance cos. He mentions using the antitrust laws to keep them from driving up prices
9. Partner w/healthcare workers and create better home care solutions
10. Repeal exception being used by pharmaceutical companies to drive up prices
11. Limit launch prices for drug companies
12. Limit price increases for drug companies
13. Allow consumers to buy drugs from other countries
14. Terminate the tax break these companies get for adverts
15. Improve supply of generic drugs.
16. Expanding access to contraception and protecting a woman's right to choose
17. Federal funding for Planned Parenthood
18. Rescind the global gag rule
19. Reduce maternal mortality rate among women of color
20. Defend everyone's right to healthcare, keeping companies from raising rates based on gender or sexual orientation.
21. Creating more community health centers
22. Implementing the mental health parity law and expanding funding for mental health services
23. Getting rid of capital gains taxes.

Which is not centrist or neoliberal.

Now. Knock this shit off. Imagine, if you will, Trump in charge of our healthcare. Okay. I don't support that.
