Lisa McClain questions why El-Sayed's wife doesn't treat patients for free if he's really a supporter of universal healthcare 🤔

For years i convinced myself they weren’t that stupid. Like they cant actually think we would make doctors work for free right? Do they not know how cops and firefighters are paid?

But it’s this disconnect on the fact that’s the problem. They think “free“ healthcare means that nobody pays for anything. They don’t understand that we all pay for it through our taxes. So everyone still gets paid, we just will no longer be paying all the insurance companies and

Middleman. And part of the responsibility for that disconnect is on our side. We need to explain this better. I guarantee that if more people understood how this actually works, they would be fully on board and we can stop all this bullshit.

If she thinks she is following Jesus so well why does she not stop judging people? I mean does she not know what universal healthcare means? Does she not speak English?

Cause the insurance companies purchased congresspeople. Plus when an employer provides medical insurance, it’s very difficult for an employee to leave or request pay increases. Care for all gives employees choices & republicans are not for employee choices.

650k medical bankruptcies 2027! Medicaid and medicare cuts $1.5 Trillion start 12/2026! Millions lose care! Many need care!

I’m holding out hope, Archie. Everyone eventually needs clean water, air, food, shelter, hygiene and health care, and if those needs are not met at even the most basic levels they’ll wake up. It’s instinctual… I hope 🤞.

She's my Rep. Ugh. Only in Congress for a few years but somehow already in leadership. Seems like this airhead should be an easy target for Dems, but there has been little effort to unseat her. Her current Dem opponent @pooley4congress has little social media presence, no events scheduled. WTH.

Yes MI09 is pretty red. Seems like Dems have written it off as lost cause. A lot of farmers here who, by the way, are not exactly thrilled with the market-killing tariffs and high prices of inputs. But Dem candidate here is a ghost. Almost like he’s a R plant.

If voters decide on personality alone, she hasn't got a chance. What a shrew. My hope is El-Sayed rallies enough disaffected moderate voters away from the pedo-oligarch enablers.

Japan🇯🇵 as a foreigner I remember paying a bit more to access an English-speaking foreign-friendly accessible hospital🏥 gave me more information and better consult in minutes than what took years stateside Also remember getting better medical⚕️ care in a Singapore airport🛬 than the HMO back home then

Some of them, yes. The worst of them know precisely what they are doing, they are clever manipulative liars, they are simply evil people. But others are really this uneducated. And if anyone calls them out on it they're shunned for being outside of the accepted social norms. No arguments allowed.

And those ignorant morons will applaud. First I’d be willing to bet she has.. and also UH Drs get paid. Sometimes I get frustrated at myself for even taking the time to comment on such nonsense.

Lisa McClain also believes that teachers should "educate children for zero pay" because "they believe literacy is a fundamental public good," and, that farmers should "give away their crops for nothing" because "they believe that people need food to survive."

defense lawyers should "defend accused criminals for free" because "they claim to support the constitutional right to a fair trial," and plumbers should "fix burst sewage pipes for free" because "they agree that clean sanitation is vital to public health," and

Lisa McClain also believes that firefighters should "extinguish blazing buildings for free" because "they believe public safety is a fundamental community right," and mechanics should "repair broken brake lines for free" because "they claim to support safe roads for everyone."

Lisa McClain also believes that sex workers should provide free sex on demand because they believe that human intimacy and physical connection are fundamental components of mental well being and emotional health.

Universal healthcare doesn't mean doctors won't get paid. It means that everyone will have much better access and people won't have to go bankrupt to access the system. These MAGAots/ The American Fascist Party truly hate the average American.

El-Sayed’s proposal isn’t that doctors personally provide free labor; it is that healthcare would be publicly financed, with the government paying providers.

Do they really fail to understand how absolutely stupid they sound? Do they not get how horrible an argument this is? Certainly, the base seems dumb enough, but the candidates? "Lying or stupid" has been the main question about the right wing for almost 50 years now.

Most doctors in Australia get paid by the gov and charge extra to the patient. They don't work for free or even for what the government pays them.

the MAGA Republican healthcare plan summed up so summarily by outgoing Senator Joni Ernst herself " We'Re ALL gOiNg to DiE!! " ( for those old enough to remember the late Senator John McCain's VP pick, Sarah "I can see👀 Russia🇷🇺 from my doorstep" Palin of Alaska who warned about "death☠️⚰️🪦 panels?")

I'm not surprised they're bringing that up. It's not a good look for El-Sayed to be so vocal about Medicare for All when his wife has banned Medicare patients from her practice. They're accusing of him of pandering and promising unicorns, and this plays right to it.

A phony argument, much beloved by rightwing pundits. It's akin to: if you hate capitalism so much, move to Russia! It's an absurd form of red herring: attack the person on false grounds, when you haven't a clue how to deal with that person's argument.
