So many American students go to college in Germany to take advantage of free tuition that there are programs taught entirely in English. People in Germany also pay less for healthcare and have 14 weeks of parental leave. The U.S. should lead on these issues, not fall behind. https://t.co/i6tQNSr9Re — PolitiTweet.org

Would you rather keep your doctor and hospital or keep your co-pays and deductibles? With Medicare for All, the American people will pay less for comprehensive healthcare and have the freedom to see any doctor they choose. https://t.co/SqAR8FsoQ8 — PolitiTweet.org

@Ontheotherhand @BernieSanders The current Medicare enrollees will get dental, vision, and long term care. So it will be better. Also, rural hospitals will have more resources with more folks covered so care will improve. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Critics ignore this about @BernieSanders plan. Union contracts are typically 3-4 years. He has a four year transition for Medicare for All so union workers do not lose anything in their current contract & can fight for more pay in their next round. Yes, he “wrote the damn bill.” — PolitiTweet.org

More than 10 billion tons of Greenland ice was lost on Wednesday due to a heat wave. The climate crisis is NOW. We should respond to this existential challenge by leading the world in renewables, cleantech, high-speed rail and energy efficiency. https://t.co/szQ3KssiFv — PolitiTweet.org

This highlights the complexity of regulating speech online and the need for well crafted laws. Companies must remove speech that incites violence. But they also need to make contextual decisions that respect First Amendment rights. ⁦@TonyRomm⁩ https://t.co/aNQUSMFllg — PolitiTweet.org

Instead of talking about the costs of Medicare for All, we need to talk about the astronomical costs of our current system. Families are spending tens of thousands per year on healthcare, with many still not receiving comprehensive coverage. https://t.co/Wk9r9YMGl2 — PolitiTweet.org

Medicare for All is comprehensive because it includes coverage for: 👁️ Vision 🦷 Dental 👂 Hearing 🧠 Mental Health ❤️ Long term care 🍼 Reproductive health 💊 Substance abuse treatment — PolitiTweet.org

The U.S. State Department spent more than $100 million to rebuild a base in Afghanistan, even though they were warned that it was a bad idea. The base was never rebuilt. We must rein in wasteful military spending. https://t.co/JJh5eaPvwF — PolitiTweet.org

Weeks of paid maternal leave by country: 🇬🇧 U.K.: 52 🇬🇷 Greece: 43 🇮🇪 Ireland: 42 🇭🇺 Hungary: 24 🇸🇪 Sweden: 19.6 🇨🇦 Canada: 17 🇫🇷 France: 16 🇦🇺 Australia: 10 🇺🇸 United States: 0 Paid family leave isn't "unrealistic." What's unrealistic is being the only OECD country without it. — PolitiTweet.org

The Trump administration's decision to re-import certain drugs from Canada is a good first step for lowering outrageous drug prices, but not nearly enough. We have to rein in Big Pharma’s patent abuse to bring down drug prices. https://t.co/oT6Etwuhdu — PolitiTweet.org

How is it that we have money for huge corporate tax breaks and military spending increases, but not investing in our people? Hint: It’s about priorities. — PolitiTweet.org

It shouldn’t take working 103 hours per week for someone earning the minimum wage to be able to afford a one-bedroom apartment. We have to address this crisis by building housing that is truly affordable for teachers, nurses, service workers, and other hardworking Americans. https://t.co/I3AXmvibpz — PolitiTweet.org

I'm proud to announce that during my visit to New Hampshire, a slate of leaders from the Bhutanese, Rohingya and Congolese communities who fled persecution and violence have endorsed @BernieSanders. https://t.co/WzowEkfoEd — PolitiTweet.org

Do the opponents of Medicare for All who claim that it would lead to rural hospitals shutting down realize that these hospitals are actually in the most trouble in states that have failed to expand Medicaid under the ACA? https://t.co/flkAXo4FK6 — PolitiTweet.org

@ericbradner Thank you @BetoORourke for your compassion and humanity at this moment. I admired your decency when we served together, and I appreciate your voice at this difficult time. — PolitiTweet.org

If you are wondering why we pay the highest prices for prescription drugs on Earth, consider this: 2018 lobbyist contributions: ➡️ PhRMA: $28M ➡️ Pfizer: $11.4M ➡️ Bayer: $8.6M ➡️ Merck & Co: $6.8M ➡️ Eli Lilly & Co: $6.7M ➡️ Johnson & Johnson: $6.6M ➡️ Gilead Sciences: $3M — PolitiTweet.org

Medicare for All used to be considered unrealistic. Now a majority of House Democrats are in support. The tide is turning because people realize that Medicare for All is the comprehensive, cost-effective solution for the future of our healthcare. https://t.co/xwqw12C9TC — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Millions of people can't afford healthcare in the U.S. and it's not just those who don't have insurance. Many Americans are underinsured and forced to pay high premiums and co-pays with little coverage. Medicare for All would guarantee comprehensive healthcare to all. https://t.co/93WpX0cN4M — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

In this must read op-ed, @pramilajayapal lays out the facts about Medicare for All: ✅ Costs less than our current system ✅ Will let you keep your doctor and hospital ✅ A huge number of unions have endorsed ✅ Nobody will lose their healthcare https://t.co/MsJeEBRpJ3 — PolitiTweet.org

Our military spending has ballooned out of control, increasing $100 billion since Trump took office. To win in the 21st century, we have to stop investing in wars that aren’t making us or the world any safer and begin to invest in our people, students, communities, and planet. https://t.co/EfeD6NW82w — PolitiTweet.org

@structuralecon @JDScholten We need to give people meaningful work, better pay, and more of the benefits of the technology revolution. But people respect the dignity of work and want oppprtunity. — PolitiTweet.org

Passing the Raise The Wage Act would give 30 to 40 percent of workers a well-earned raise in many states, including McConnell’s home state of Kentucky. McConnell needs to stop dragging his feet so workers can get the raises they deserve. https://t.co/OxQX12M68I — PolitiTweet.org

Of all the candidates running for Congress/Senate this cycle, @JDScholten has the most compelling vision to help bring new jobs, opportunity, and prosperity to rural America and to help prepare our nation for the future. — PolitiTweet.org
