Democratic governors steer party to left for universal health careRadical moves by newly elected liberal governors reveal a new movement among Democrats on health care in advance of the 2020 presidential campaign to see just how far the party will go in pushing universal health care Can hardly wait for when we get everything we want for free and the Democrats have to figure out who pays when nobody has any money. This is not 'left'. A vast majority — 70 percent — of Americans in a new poll supports 'Medicare for all,' also known as a single-payer health-care system. The Reuters–Ipsos survey found 85 percent of Democrats said they support the policy along with 52 percent of Republicans. Universal healthcare is a fundamental progressive idea signifying societal evolution. Similar to universal franchise or racial equality or freedom of speech. Each of these rights or ideas was fought tooth & nail by conservatives. They can only slow down the inevitability of it.

House Democrats launch drug-pricing probe into a dozen major health-care companiesAbbVie, Amgen, AstraZeneca, Celgene, Eli Lilly, Johnson & Johnson, Mallinckrodt, Novartis, Novo Nordisk, Pfizer, Sanofi and Teva Pharmaceuticals received letters seeking detailed information and documents about the companies' pricing practices. Why are they being investigated when Trump claimed that drug prices are at an all time low? I just hope the Democrats don't just waste taxpayer dollars with meaningless politically motivated crap like everyone expects them to. This seems a needed topic, but stay away from political theater Democrats. Just watch the SJC in 2018 if you want to see your embarrassment. Nice to see them investigating actual wrong doing and not just investigating HRC again.
