The weakest link; It’s us

A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. Armor is only effective
when it has no chinks for a weapon to penetrate.

This pandemic has shown when we leave the hindmost (the poor, people
of color, the homeless) to suffer unsupported, a virus can wend its
way in, inflicting terrible damage which cascades into our society.

Instead we need Medicare for All. Not only would this improve
protection and coverage overall, but it will actually strengthen
Medicare.

Today Medicare is limited to those over 65, elders costly to cover;
meanwhile private insurers skim off the cream (healthy people cheap to
keep). If we had Medicare for All then healthy folk would be buoying
the balance sheets of Medicare not buying bigger yachts for insurance
CEOs.

A vote for progressive candidates will remedy these ills and
reduce the impact of the next viral invader.
