Rep. Khanna: I Wish $3T Relief Bill Expanded Medicare & Medicaid | The Last Word | MSNBC
I wish I could get Medicaid I’ve been without work 2 moths now I can’t get any health insurance because my daughter receives ssi for 500 a month since we’re a 3 person home we don’t qualify unless it’s 475 or less
Why does your daughter get $500 SSI payments each month?
@Joey Baseball she should keep her nd her daughter business off the internet plus I don’t believe her story
@quan Brooklyn kid but she didn’t. And since she put it out there, I want to know why she recieves $500 SSI each month.
The $600 dollars a week extra from the fed was meant for health care.
I wish we could just get behind something so the senate republicans are aware that it should be taken seriously..
Bill will never pass the senate. Just another democrat wish list. The word “cannabis” is used more than “jobs”/ “hire”. Let more people work and you won’t have to pass bills like this. I agree with more testing funding and vaccine research, but you got to let the people work.
You are short sighted. Sure people can go back to work, but will Americans become consumers again? Which jobs will be sustainable and which will just slaughter more Americans, overwhelm our health care capacities and collapse the economy even more?
Medicare for all is the real solution.
@Mohamed Nabil
I know what you’re saying but we need the Republican support if we want that pass now. And erasing Obama’s legacy is their priority.
@Mohamed Nabil <--- Asshat
@jade No, their priority is to protect big corporations that profit off people’s suffering.
@Mohamed Nabil
Okay. Then there won’t be Medicare for all any time soon because it seems you don’t want it that much.
@jade I don’t want it? How?
😂
It is not a shock that it passed the politics in the house..

If you ever doubted if republicans don’t care about you, look no further than the fact that even during a deadly health crisis, they are still trying to take away affordable healthcare, want to strip medicare, and won’t pass any laws for paid sick leave.
Socialism for the rich, but rugged individualism for the poor. The republican party in a nutshell.
Right the democrats care about Americans that’s why they want to give money to illegal criminals
@Mint Visto republicans are already giving money to criminals born here, what makes the difference?
How convenient the items that were left off this list lol, all the things that make it “DOA” in the senate.
First Moscow Mitch will nibble at the bill to remove oversight and restrict the support for middle income and poor people, so more money goes to his rich sponsors.
Why did you guys waste our time with this bill?
Piglosi wrote the bill, so who’s rich sponsors do you really think are getting fat?
@john carioscia None. That’s how the right writes bills.
Republicans voted against it because they don’t want to protect election security.
Yep, that’s it. You’re so smart.
and 15 democrats to.. Trump 2020
Yes this is a scary time for all of us but you can win if we fight this together
Aine ni Ghriofa there is no such things as « together » in usa
How sad!
Meanwhile social security is going bankrupt way faster because all the businesses the government shut down AND the people they employ are not paying into it.
Thank god
He looks like Mr.Toads Wild Ride ran over his face. . .
I reeeeally hope, Americans learn from this. The ones who reach the other side at least… I’m getting tired of making snarky comments about “The Greatest Country in the World”
The Republican is against the people nore wanna help the people
During this pandemic so many states have initiated cutbacks to medicaid, Georgia,New York ,California to name a few. This rep saids he wanted more for medicare/medicaid, you’ll be lucky if they don’t do cutbacks! But unfortunately, your not! As the lockdown progresses cutbacks are happenning and that goes for red and blue states,this is pulling wool over our eyes! In NYC, they cut educational and recreational programs for kids to fund speed up recruitment for the police, they have over 50k officers already!
Congress doesn’t care about small businesses. They only use them to create loopholes to benefit big corporations.
An “astounding” number of Obama administration officials — 39, according to a list compiled by acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell — made requests to unmask the identity of Michael Flynn between November 8, 2016 and January 12, 2017, noted Fleitz in a Saturday-published column. Flynn was then-President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming national security adviser.
