Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: The Democratic Senators who were also primary candidates [View all]Sunlei
(22,651 posts)21. The bills with some corona virus 'relief help' passed.
More needs to be done like Ireland just did. America and Ireland share a very similar healthcare system. some for profit & some similar to 'medicare for all'.
Their for profit insurance corps were just mandated(yesterday) to provide non-profit healthcare to all.
I follow this(LINK) to see voting records, both house and senate are there. on their government websites senators and congress persons frequently explain why they voted (or didn't vote)
IMO I'm happier to just view the plain facts instead of message board/media story 'opinions'
