BlueSky: "why don't the Democrats say we will just increase taxes on everyone" and the obvious answer is that the American electorate are idiots who want a fairy tale that we can pay nothing and have everything. Idk how you fix that. But no one wins elections on "I will raise your taxes".

Health insurers have promised change, but patients still face denials.

“I just thought I was going to die,” one said. “I was fighting to survive, and then I was fighting to convince someone that I deserved to survive.”

Honestly "renter class vs owner class" is a much cleaner line these days

It's honestly kind of core to liberal feminism that you have the right to consequential choices that includes the ability to regret them, which certain tendencies of radical feminism that overlap heavily with TERFdom oppose.

To be clear, cis people regret breast augmentation and nose jobs and all sorts of permanent elective procedures. The idea that the presence of any regret at all means that something shouldn't be done means that healthcare in general shouldn't be done.
