Democratic Primaries

on healthcare so for me this is personal. Bernie is for Medicare for all; Biden threatened to veto healthcare for all.

Biden voted for the Iraq War that's cost a fortune and nobody ever asked how much the war would cost.

Sanders voted no on the war and thinks healthcare for all must be our priority.

For me, Biden will not do enough; mere tweaks to Obamacare won't help at all. I am over the amount for subsidies, 62, and our premiums are $2,000 a month for the two of us.

We cannot afford even one more year of this, let alone four, simply put.

I have never had so much personally at stake in a presidential race before.

I like Bernie's policies best, but voted for Warren thinking she'd be the most electable candidate who would actually get the most done on healthcare. After she dropped out I'm back to hoping against hope that Bernie can beat the odds.

I think a lot of people in America are in desperate straits and DO want a revolution of sorts, not just evolution/baby steps toward reforms we desperately need.

I am old enough to remember an era of no premiums at all for healthcare. Later hubby got his free, and mine was maybe a hundred bucks a month through his work. At times it was free for both of us before I got out of the regular job market and started my own freelance business. Then companies started jacking it into the stratosphere. Now even insurance through hubby's work is $2,000 a month for us both. Obamcare would be as high or higher, since we are just over the limit for any subsidies. But we live in an area where the cost of living is high -- the highest gas prices and utility prices in the nation, and I have medical needs excluded from our crummy policy so I still have to pay 100% out of pocket for chiropractic care and massage for pain from an old car accident.

Often I can't afford those, so I do without and am pain. This is a 100% broken healthcare system for those in the middle class who are not quite old enough for Medicare, but getting price-gouged by greedy insurance companies. Biden doesn't get it, and Turmp doesn't care at all.
