“Poverty has always been a part of normal humanity and suffering. If it is normal then that means it is not unjust, according to rich white male multi mega millionaires and billionaires. Life is unfair and that is normal.”

I swear I'm not throwing shade. I'm wondering, has @marwilliamson moved to the left on #MedicareForAll? Getting rid of the $70 billion middleman industry of health insurance [responsible, i.e. for "being out of network" charges] makes more sense now than ever.

It's time for America, as Americans and as citizens and as immigrants and as humans, to remove the gauze covering our eyes. This...is much more important than any title, any profit, any retirement. This...is about the future of humanity...our first love.
