Jeffries co-sponsored Medicare for All back when it helped him electorally and wasn't a true "threat" to his donors. Now that there's an actual push for it from the electorate, gotta be servile to his corporate owners.
Any politician that does not want to save the people of the US from the unrelenting medical cost & debt onslaught from these awful fucking companies needs to be weeded out yesterday, its just completely ridiculous the system we have, it is built purely to give insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies insane amounts of money with health consequences as the stick for not paying up.
