This is going way too slow. They want to lower Medicare eligibility to 55? They should lower it to 0! Why should military expenditures expand by leaps and bounds and humanitarian expenditures expand in incremental steps?

Proud to be leading this effort! Progressives, moderates, and frontliners from across the country agree that @POTUS should prioritize expanding and improving Medicare as part of the American Families Plan.

Bernie was going to do something like this Year One.

I totally agree. It's pure simple common-sense response-ability to care for the health well-being of all human.

Try ain’t lowering anything This is just another grandstanding tweet to get more donations

If they could lower it to 55 it would have huge impact, and possibly set the stage for lowering it more. I’d rather have it changed to zero but would much rather have it than nothing! They won’t even do that

The only way to get the Dem to support M4All is to make it race-tested. M4All non-white people! Exceptions made if you’re a LGBTQ white person. 🤣

That’s what happens when the majority of our government is bought and owned by health insurance companies and big pharma.

But what's their strategy? How do they intend to use their leverage? Are they making that plain?
Replying to @marwilliamson
Scared people are easier to manipulate. It also makes more financial sense to protect American “ideals”, than to protect American people (or land) from actual threats - such as climate change or corrupt government.

People not in office often marvel at how slow the political process takes to accomplish anything. 😉
