Medicare Privatization & Voucher Debate

If you want to understand the current debate -- and I would say attack -- on Medicare, you have to read this white paper by the Brookings Institute.

There isn't a greater issue in America today.  Truly.

Your retirement and your health care in your elderly years are absolutely at stake.

Educate yourself and work to defend your rights and the rights of your fellow citizens.

The Seven Broken Guardrails of Democracy

Before you vote -- and even if you have already voted -- read this story in The Atlantic by conservative write David Frum.  What Frum outlines had its roots sunk over thirty years ago. Now grown, this new reality will govern our politics -- and indeed has become our way of life -- for at least the next decade and likely much, much longer.

Again, if you read only one thing this election season, read this article.

And once completed, this short Twitter thread by New York Times writer & Nobel economist Paul Krugman is a good, short follow-up.  We didn't get to this point in a vacuum or without action.
