Mid Week


Healthcare

Private Doctors on Medicare for all -  A good summary here. Should be written across the sky by all D candidates.
Myth No. 1: Medicare for All will cause Americans to lose their private health insurance coverage. 
Fact: yes, but it will be replaced by a comprehensive government-financed (not government-controlled) insurance plan that will cover all Americans and include all physicians. 
Your current physician from your private health insurance plan, will be part of the Medicare for All plan. There will be no out-of-pocket costs, no copays, no deductibles, no surprise billing or risk of medical bankruptcy.

Media Blackout on Brazil’s Anti-Bolsonaro Protests: Why are New York Times and Guardian downplaying resistance to Brazil’s far-right president?

It seems the US media likes protests in other countries as long as those protesting are to the right of our media?

We report on protests in Taiwan or Venezuela but not Brazil or France. We let the Tea Party run wild with protests but clamped down hard on the Occupy protests.

Guns

A Well-Regulated Militia - One of the best, common sense set of gun policies I've seen.

Iranian tanker sought by U.S. heading toward Greece - Maybe the rest of the world isn't going to play along?
