More, but keep some government subsidy

 @973PQZSanswered…2yrs2Y

Incentivize higher quality of doctors within the public system

 @972DHJYanswered…2yrs2Y

More, with additional subsidies as well for the less fortunate

Igual que ahora, sumando más de lo privado

Imagine your local clinic became privatized; how do you think that would affect the quality of care you receive?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…12mos12MO

How do you feel about the idea that your health could be dependent on a company's financial interests?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…12mos12MO

Do you think healthcare should be viewed as a business or as a universal right? Why?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…12mos12MO

Have you or someone you know ever received healthcare that was influenced by private insurance companies' policies?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…12mos12MO

What do you believe are the risks or downsides of having healthcare services owned by private companies?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…12mos12MO

If hospitals were privatized, how do you think it would impact the way doctors and nurses provide care?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…12mos12MO

How would your access to healthcare change if local hospitals were run by private companies instead of the government?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…12mos12MO

Can you share a personal experience where the cost of healthcare impacted you or your family's well-being?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…12mos12MO

What benefits do you think would arise from a healthcare system run entirely by private entities?

 @8VTRBQ6answered…3yrs3Y

More, to lessen wait times and offer alternatives for those who can afford them. This will decrease the overall toll on healthcare services for all.

 @7NN387Nanswered…4yrs4Y

There should be less public hospitals and private hospitals but more independent hospitals

 @8MZ79MJanswered…4yrs4Y

There Needs To Be More Free And Better Public Healthcare First But Private Health Care Can Increase too

 @ISIDEWITHasked…12mos12MO

If you had to choose, would you prefer a healthcare system focused on profit or one prioritizing public service, and why?

Trump Blindsided by Assault Allegation Against Pete Hegseth

Members of President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team were blindsided by the latest details to emerge about a 2017 sexual-assault allegation against Pete Hegseth, increasing their frustration with the man nominated to lead the Pentagon, according to people familiar with the matter.The transition team, which hadn’t been told about the original allegation before announcing Hegseth, was surprised again late Wednesday night when the Monterey, Calif., city police released a report about the 2017 allegations. The heavily redacted report details a boozy night at a hotel in California, a poolside argument and two conflicting versions of what ultimately took place inside Hegseth’s hotel room.The Monterey police said a redacted version of the report had been released to Hegseth on March 30, 2021. The transition team wasn’t told that a copy of the police report had been released to Hegseth previously, the people familiar with the discussions said.“This is another instance of people being blindsided, so I think there’s rising frustration there,” said a person familiar with the transition. While the president-elect is still behind Hegseth for now, “if this continues to be a drumbeat and the press coverage continues to be bad, particularly on TV, then I think there is a real chance that he loses Trump’s confidence.”Hegseth told reporters on Capitol Hill on Thursday after meetings with senators that “the matter was fully investigated and I was completely cleared.” Through his lawyer, he has acknowledged the sexual encounter but said it was consensual, while the woman who made the allegation hasn’t spoken publicly.The details about the incident contained in the report, which was released to media the evening before Hegseth was set to meet Thursday with a number of senators, are likely to draw renewed scrutiny to the allegations at a pivotal moment for his nomination. Hegseth was already bracing for a bruising confirmation hearing next year amid questions about the alleged sexual misconduct and his qualifications for the job.

Donald Trump nominates Pam Bondi as the next Attorney General

Former President and 2024 Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has announced his intention to nominate former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi as the next Attorney General of the United States, should he reclaim the presidency in the upcoming election.Bondi, a prominent figure in Republican politics, served as Florida's Attorney General from 2011 to 2019. She gained national attention for her legal battles on issues such as health care reform, consumer protection, and opioid abuse litigation. Known for her steadfast support of Trump during his presidency, Bondi also served as a key adviser during his first impeachment trial, where she defended his administration against accusations of abuse of power.In a statement released by his campaign, Trump praised Bondi’s “unwavering commitment to justice” and her “track record of standing up for everyday Americans against the abuses of Washington’s elites.”“Pam Bondi has been a fearless advocate for the people, and she embodies the principles of fairness, accountability, and the rule of law that are sorely needed to restore trust in our justice system,” Trump said. “She is the right person to lead the Department of Justice into a new era of integrity and excellence.”While Bondi’s nomination has been met with applause from conservative circles, it has also reignited criticism from Democrats and ethics watchdogs. Her acceptance of a $25,000 donation from the Trump Foundation in 2013, which coincided with her decision not to pursue an investigation into Trump University, has drawn scrutiny in the past and resurfaced following the announcement.Democratic leaders have already voiced opposition, questioning Bondi’s ability to lead the Department of Justice independently. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) called the nomination “a political power play” and urged a focus on “restoring integrity, not entrenching partisanship.”
