Every Democrat should at the very least run on #PublicOption. At this point, it's between that and Medicare for All. Anyone still running on "improving the ACA" is not meeting the moment.
Here is where the top four Democrats for California Governor stand on Universal Healthcare:
SWALWELL: Supports a public option
PORTER: Supports single-payer health care
STEYER: Support single-payer health care
BECERRA: Supports single-payer health care
THURMOND: Supports single-payer health [โฆ]

Alaska's healthcare future could hinge on innovative public-option plans, promising to lower premiums and out-of-pocket costs if designed with local needs in mind.

@daviddoel.bsky.social discusses the #NDPLeadershipDebate, shares who HE thinks should win. But more importantly he discusses the #PublicOption, telecomm, insurance, grocery stores, and that it WOULD not could drive down the prices of the PRIVATE option ๐จ๐ฆ #cdnpoli #abpoli youtu.be/MJnogKMyxjw?...
#Nevada is the third state so far to launch a #PublicOption plan, along with Colorado and Washington state. But it's not going quite as well as they've hoped, for good reasons. Worth the read.
The #Colorado School of #PublicHealth is starting work on a study to analyze how the state could set up a #SinglePayer #HealthInsurance program that would be run at the state level. #UniversalCoverage #PublicOption
Gov. Ned Lamont called for $1 million to outline the policy and conduct a feasibility assessment. He said the state can also explore federal funding opportunities to boost affordability. #Connecticut #PublicOption #HealthCoverage
Trump: ...best I can do is a rip-off discount pharmacy with my name on it.
Guy: Sir, this is a Wendy's.

1/ On January 1, California became the first state in the country to sell low-cost insulin under its own label, breaking Big Pharmaโs price stranglehold with a #publicoption.
#Obamacare now proven to be the delayed bullshit it originally was as #Obama kept the corporate ๐คprivatization & reneged not only on #SinglePayer but even on a #publicoption.

Thats right James Lankford. #ACA is not affordable b/c its a useless conservative Heritage plan. You know what IS "affordable??" SINGLE PAYER. Which is what a majority of Americans want! You have NO solutions. All those ideas are bankrupt. Quit wasting our time! #SinglePayer #PublicOption #CNNSOTU

@hartmannreport.com, remind everyone hat the two mechanisms in the #ACA to control costsโฆ a #PublicOption & the #mandateโฆ were stripped out by the #GOP, which now argues "#ObamaCare doesn't work and we need to get rid of it [rather than renew the subsidies.]"
Exactly! It has proven to be a #MisguidedMistake to 'Compromise' with Republicans in the ACA removing the #PublicOption at Their request. Republicans Suckered us&also on Supreme Court Nominees. #PainfulLessonLearned: Do Not Repeat this mistake when Democrats regain the Majority.
OH DEAR LORD. ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
Guess who #FnS has on to discuss Healthcare Reform?
The #Republican Senator who was charged with #Medicare Fraud (which of course they never mention.) Naturally, everything is the #Democrat's fault.
Wanna reform the #ACA? Give us a #PublicOption.
FL Sen Rick Scott was charged with Medicare fraud when he ran the largest hospital system in Florida.

Dems need to run on a #publicoption for US #healthcare in 2026. Itโs an easy to understand policy to keep healthcare top of mind. It should force private #Insurance companies to lower their premiums [โฆ]
It's actually the UN-highlighted text in this Fox News graphic of Trump's social media past last Saturday that we should focus on. Trump (in all caps) says we need to "take the Fat Cat insurance companies out of the corrupt system" (because he thinks they support "ObamaCare" & Democrats.)
T**** (unwittingly) endorsed a #PublicOption on Saturday, advocating we cut the big insurance companies out of the loop (b/c he thinks they support ObamaCare/Dems.)
Fine. Pass a public option. Call it #TrumpCare and point out it would "eradicate #ObamaCare". The #NarcissistInChief would sign that.
IF #Democrats retake Congress in 2026, they need to abolish the filibuster and pass a #PublicOption via a straight 51 vote majority. Call it "#TrumpCare" and tell him it would eradicate #ObamaCare. The #NarcissistInChief would sign that in a heartbeat (see tweet above.)

Trump angrily condemns insurance companies for the high cost of health care (b/c he thinks they are supporters of "ObamaCare".) Fine. Pass a Public Option that gives consumers an alternative. Call it "TrumpCare" if that's what it takes to get the Narcissist-in-Chief to sign it. Point out it would totally "get rid of [the need for] ObamaCare." He'd sign that for sure.

IF THE #BlueWave CONTINUES and #Democrats retake Congress (House & Senate) in 2026, they need to pass some strict new rules on the presidency:
1) No more pardons for people who committed crimes in Potus' name.
2) Establish once & for all that a Potus can't pardon themselves.
3) (sans 60 [โฆ]
