Dan Whitfield on Health Care

 

 


Medicare for All--human misery should never be monetized

The average Arkansan family will pay $440/YEAR which will insure EVERY member in their household under Medicare For All. The time has come for America to follow every other industrialized nation and give its citizens universal healthcare. Our current health system is putting profits above the health of Americans. Human misery should never be monetized.

Coronavirus: China is not the enemy; COVID-19 is

Dan Whitfield, an independent running against Cotton in 2020, tweeted, "As [Cotton] continues to spew racism and hatred we must remember that China is not our enemy, the COVID-19 Corona virus is."

"Defeating this common worldwide enemy is going to take all of our nations working together," Whitfield said. "We can not afford to warmonger against a people that are suffering just as we are."

Universal healthcare, like every other industrialized nation

Medicare for All: The time has come for America to follow every other industrialized nation and give its citizens universal healthcare. Our current health system is putting profits above the health of Americans. Citizens are literally dying because they can't afford their prescription drugs! The working class is spending 10-20% of their total income on health insurance. There is not a single country on Earth that has reverted from a single payer health insurance to a private system.
