Rugged individualism is a good thing & has led to much creativity & genius in the U.S. But over the last few decades it has transitioned too many times into rugged narcissism. We should express our own unique creativity AND care deeply about everyone else. Marianne2020.com

For peace & prosperity, the one principle that should guide all public policy (it’s not not short-term corporate profit maximization) is this: What would make people thrive? From universal healthcare to free education to removing college loan debt, helping people serves America.

Americans have been mentally trained to expect too little, to ask “Pretty please?” for things that should be considered - and are considered, in other countries of comparable wealth - to be the natural right of every citizen.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes…

That’s a deep mischaracterization of my beliefs. Of course there is mental illness, of course it matters, and of course it is covered under my health plan.

We need to more than fight sickness; we need to incentivize health. Much more focus needed on health-creation, health coaches, greater access to healthy food & lifestyle options & regulatory oversight of food & chemical companies to protect us from water, food & air contaminants.

Whole Health Plan mandates patients be fully informed of integrative & lifestyle medicine as well as traditional allopathic/pharmaceutical/surgical options for healing, along w/ scientifically established rates of success. Insurance pays for both.marianne2020.com/issues/the-…

That theory has been around forever. Hardly new revelations. And it wasn’t about the military-industrial complex because the military-industrial complex didn’t even exist yet. If true at all, it was that Roosevelt wanted justification for getting into war against the Nazis.

My uncle Max Kaplan was a Navy man, his ship bombed at Pearl Harbor 12/7/41. Spent 27 hrs in water before being rescued, received a Purple Heart. Today I remember him &those like him, including my dad & the rest of my uncles, who responded so bravely to an attack on our country.

No, those are what got us into this mess. An unfettered, deregulated market is what created the problem; a free market with proper governmental regulation is what will solve it.

Or vote for someone for president who is saying it like it is. Where we need to march is to the polls.
