Sounds great, but sadly fascists don't value words.
There is no chance in hell they'll actually support it, because if they did they wouldn't be Republican.

Sanders Gets GOP Leader to Agree to Work On Medicare Covering Dental, Hearing, and Vision
(www.commondreams.org)
I want to know how we got here. Historically speaking, republicans and democrats were supposed to be two sides to the same coin. Republicans would have one set view on how to run things. Democrats would have a different set of ideas. Both would offer a set of bills and agenda on how to run the country, with the idea being their plans would benifit you, and the opposition showing how their plans would benefit you. Then you take a look at both sides and vote for the one you agree with most.
Somehow, we've arrived at a position where republicans are actively trying to hurt America. That's what it is, I'm telling you. There's no other way to describe this behavior. They legitimately want to hurt Americans.
And so you'd think that stratagy would instantly fail. All the democrats would have to do is be strong, and have the message "donald trump is trying to sell your country to russia."
And your options would be
A) Destroy the country
B) Don't destroy the country.
Except, these asshole democrats are almost as corrupt as the republicans. So you got republicans fighting with America, and democrats fighting with democrats. Nobodys left to fight the republicans.
So.......how did we get to a point where roughly half of the citizens would rather pick A?
Because right now, the republicans entire party platform seems to be "Fuck America!" and their base just goes along with "YEAH! FUCK ME!"
People that voted for Trump think the Dems are and have been destroying America. The general perspective seems to be "the party I voted against is trying to destroy my country". Propaganda and foreign interference has gotten America to this point. Poor education standards aren't helping.
This reminds me of those small signs expressing disagreement with Trump. What the heck was that, seriously is this the best "democrats" can do?
Biden was as bad as this?
Pretty sure they're working on getting rid of Medicare and Medicaid, which makes this tragically hilarious
Yeah, they'll add dental, hearing and vision to Medicare, but in turn they'll make sure it only covers like one guy. If this ever gets through (which it won't) it's going to be some real monkey's paw type shit.
The conspicuous singular here really got me.
