No Problem. I am with you on the healthcare issues.

One of the problems is that Medicare/medicaid can't negotiate what they will pay from drugs. As a result, the U.S. pays up to quadruple the cost of pharmaceuticals than other industrialized counties. This is despite many of these drugs were developed here in the U.S. at pubic colleges with trials partially funded by public health organizations like the national institute of health and many others. They create their drugs here, using our infrastructure, institutions and investors and then charge use 400% more than other countries for the pleasure.

Another problem is the political contributions that come from Pharma to our political leadership ON BOTH SIDES! Corporations are not people to and we need to stop all corporate political contributions.

In the past, I have always voted for moderate candidates. I have voted for moderate conservatives and democrats but mostly for candidates just left of center. However this country has lost its mind to the extent that I am voting full-tile left: Warren or Bernie.

Hopefully, the current tyrant/bully in the whitehouse will be run out of office or taken out in cuffs and we can start to Make America Sane Again.

Sorry for picking on you. I was annoyed with eagle the other day playing dumb and I'm the kind to hold a grudge. I'm also annoyed with our casino style health care system. I don't know how much taxes I would pay under a medicare for all system. But I'd bet a huge percentage of the population would pay less. A huge percent would pay the same. And a lucky few would pay more and a smaller few would pay significantly more. And everybody would be covered for health, dental and vision. It will make it so so much easier on the average person. I hope that as part of the plan employers and pension plans are required to move non taxed cafeteria health care subsidy payments straight to taxed salary or pension. Should be no big difference for them other than reducing their administrative costs of dealing with peoples health insurance. Let them focus on the business their in and providing a great work environment. Not lording health benefits over my American brothers and sisters. I'm for Sanders #medicare4all in this way and will vote for him in the primary and general if possible. I will donate to him also as I believe he is the only one who gives a damn about the people of this country that don't have the money to buy politicians. Combine the multiple different existing governmental programs from tricare, medicare, medicaid, va, etc all into medicare.

End rant here. lol

BWIS,

Sorry to read about your loss in a previous post and I agree with your general premise in this one. Consensus around preventative health care would be ideal as "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" and "an apple a day keeps the doctor away". Apples help get the gut cleansed, biome properly maintained and lung function improved. Amazing how gut biome is related to overall health and effectiveness of immunotherapy products. Everyone taking an immunotherapy, including DCVax, should be made aware of this and the fact that processed sugar intake, especially with sugary drinks, is directly related to adverse inflamation, risk of disease and earlier death. Best wishes.
