Don't sign up for Medicare Advantage when you turn 65:

41. Omg, Chris is against MA?!? THE Chris,?!?

People should get whatever works best for their situation.

Politically, Dems should be laser focused on the business of building reliable, affordable healthcare into law. Right now that's dying of neglect as Trump and the Republicans bask gratefully in our letting the fringe be the base.

Moderates are the base. The base is the reliable, loyal people who have voted Dem for years. People who rarely vote or abandon us and take their vote away in political tantrums are not the base.

Core issues are issues. The rest is magic beans and emotion. I personally don't care if someone has a red face or is crying. To me it's a sign they need help, not that they have the ability to be help. I care if people have education, health care, safety, nutritious food, and shelter.

All the rest is distraction and neglect. We need to get back to competence and compassion, not anger and emotionalism. We need to win.
