What we need is a "21st Century Full Employment Act for Peace and Prosperity" which would make it a mandatory requirement that the president and Congress attain and maintain full employment.

Trump gets the kind of socialized health care he denies to us.

Trump is getting the best socialized health care our tax dollars can provide for him but he denies the same health care to the rest of us under the guise of opposing socialism.


He will have no deductions and no co-pays and he doesn’t even have to pay for any over-priced supplemental insurance.


Trump’s health care is being:


Publicly funded.


Publicly administered.


Publicly delivered.


It’s amazing how Trump boasts that this socialized health care is providing him with “the best quality health care available in the entire world.”


Once again, socialism is good for the rich, who can better afford to pay their own way (remember how they lecture us about how there are no “free lunches”) but the rest of us have to pay through the nose for health insurance or file for medical bankruptcies... I guess Trump never considered using bankruptcy to take care of his health care costs like he has conveniently done when he doesn’t want to pay employees for the work they have done.


So, socialized health care works great for Trump but the rest of us are supposed to settle for the capitalist market-driven for-profit health care system from which Trump and his Wall Street buddies reap huge profits.


Doesn’t this sound like... well, you know; like a bit of hypocrisy?


And Biden, with all of his obvious health problems, if elected will receive this same highest quality health care in the world... the very socialized health care he opposes, too.


I wonder if Trump even pays for Medicare Part B?


Are these politicians making fools of us, or what?


It should be obvious to everyone by now we are all entitled to health care provided through a National Public Health Care System based on the model of public education... the kind of health care available at Walter Reed Medical Center.


Instead of over 850 military based dotting the globe protecting Wall Street’s interests... why not have 850 community health care centers around the country providing every American with the same kind of health care Trump says is the best health care in the world... this would be a welcome Peace Dividend which we are all entitled to.


And, check this out...


Every single one of the doctors, nurses and health care professionals treating Trump are on the public pay-roll just like public school teachers and university professors along with the police and firefighters... and I have never heard any complaints.

We need a National Public Health Care System:


Publicly funded…


Publicly administered…


Publicly delivered…


Just like public education.
