    There are plenty of things a president can do on their own too even without congress approval especially in regards to foreign policy but also as far as how they use the various departments at their disposal (labor relations board, DOJ, IRS, antitrust stuff etc.).

    Hell even just not using the full weight of the DOJ to bash in the skulls of occupy protestors or imprison whistle blowers would’ve been an improvement over the alternative.

      So nothing will be denied in the Medicare for all / public insurance / government run insurance (or whatever we want to call it)?

        I’m sure if you tried to get the government to pay for some cosmetic surgery it’d be denied. Both sides am I right?

          Right now, my insurance considers gender confirmation surgery, such as an orchiectomy (testicles removed) or a vaginoplasty (where that thing between my legs is turned inside out for a vag), as "cosmetic" and will not pay for it. Even if the feds provide M4A, they'll still consider it "cosmetic," so I'm still screwed.

            That’s actually not true seeing as it’s currently covered by Medicare and falls under Bwrnie’s definition of medical necessity. And if you think a guy who’s gone to LGBT rallies since the 70’s would just drop it from Medicare idk what to tell you.

              And he has how many houses? His wife got what cushy job again?
              What kind of cheese are you planning to put on top?

                      Well, this spiraled about as much as I feared it would.

                      Nothing short of an immediate transition to Scandinavia/Finland-style social democracy will ever be good enough for trix.

                        And since that isn’t happening, what is his real plan?

                        • People can not try to change a crony capitalist society into a socialist one while also LIVING IN a capitalist society. This is not a silly right wing talking point.

                            Elect that idiot you keep advocating for while the world is rendered completely uninhabitable by climate change?

                                Not happening. Even if we did get 60 seats in the senate (we won’t) the backlash from the red states will be bigger than the one after Obamacare was passed.

                                We’re >20 years away from the average red state dummy supporting some form of Medicare for all.
