8-21-20 Nicole Sandler Show – Still Fighting for Medicare For All with Wendell Potter

Download here or click below to play   Many of the delegates to the 2020 Democratic National Convention voted against the party's official platform this week because it didn't not commit to developing and instituting a single-payer Medicare for All health care system.  But M4A is supported by 69% of all Americans and 88% of Democrats! We knew this would be a battle with Joe Biden as the nominee, so we're getting a head start on the fight. I read an article by John Nichols in The Nation on today's show about this very issue.

7-11-16 Nicole Sandler Show – Something’s Got to Give

Listen to this episode: {play}http://traffic.libsyn.com/radioornot/20120822_Nicole_Sandler_Show.mp3 {/play} Podcast: Play in new window I am of the Pre-Old group.  We poor, unfortunate sots who are currently just under 55 who will be screwed (and not in a good way) if Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney have their way. Yes, they'd preserve Medicare benefits for our current seniors (or so they say), but those of us under that magical 55-year old mark will have "more choices".  (If you believe that I have some lovely swampland for sale just a few miles west of where I sit right now.)
