If you have to go to the ER, your biggest worry should be the reason you came in, not the bill you'll come out with. | 89.9 |
Everyone in this country should be able to see the doctor when they're sick. | 89.7 |
Members of Congress have no business voting themselves better or more affordable healthcare plans than they guarantee their constituents. | 88.4 |
No one should have to choose between food for their kids and a pediatrician when they're sick. | 88.2 |
Members of Congress shouldn't have better healthcare than the people they represent, and if they do, they need to change either ours or theirs - we'll give them until November. | 87.4 |
Our government needs to negotiate drug prices the way every other country does, so drug companies can't set whatever prices they want. | 85.8 |
If health insurance companies can afford to pay their CEOs over $20 million a year, they can afford to cut our deductibles to a thousandth of that, $2000 a year, so no one has to go without healthcare. | 85.8 |
It's time to cap the premiums, copays, and deductibles insurance companies can charge, to make insurance affordable for working Americans. | 85 |
It's time to finish the job we began 15 years ago, when we required health insurance companies to meet high minimum standards, by limiting what they can charge, because every time they raise our premiums and deductibles, their profits and CEO salaries skyrocket. | 84.6 |
We need to protect and extend health care to small business owners, their families, and their workers. | 84 |
The country that develops the world's medications shouldn't pay the most for them, especially when our tax dollars supported their development. | 83.6 |
We need to protect hospitals and maternity wards in rural and urban communities, not let Wall Street raiders buy them up, close them, and sell the parts like old cars. | 83.6 |
Millions of Americans shouldn't be sacrificing their healthcare to fund more tax breaks for billionaires and big corporations. | 82.4 |
Healthcare is a right, not a privilege - it is undeniably part of "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness". | 81.9 |
Healthcare is essential to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" - the most central rights enshrined in the Declaration of Independence. | 81.4 |
We need to eliminate the waste, fraud, and abuse from Medicaid and Medicare and warn Americans about the dangers of socialized medicine like Medicare for All. | 69.2 |
Obamacare is a catastrophe. Always was. It's not very good today. | 47.9 |

If Congress shuts down the government, the first payments that should stop are Congressional salaries and benefits, so they feel what we feel. | 89.6 |
It’s time politicians stopped running for or against government and started running it well. | 87.9 |
A free people require free and fair elections, where the loser concedes with grace and dignity. | 87.7 |
Democracy requires fair elections, where everyone can vote, and every vote counts. | 87.3 |
It’s time to return to government of, by, and for the people, not government of, bought, and pay for by big corporations and the rich. | 84.8 |
Members of Congress and Presidents shouldn't be able to buy and sell stock from the rest of us while relying on insider knowledge or manipulating the markets themselves so it goes up after they buy and down after they sell. | 83.9 |
Members of Congress who claim that Medicare is a haven for waste, fraud, and abuse should explain why their healthcare is so much better than the people they represent. | 83.8 |
If you can't win free and fair elections, you need to change, not the rules. | 83.3 |
You can’t have a democracy if candidates refuse to admit when they lose. | 81 |
If you can't win free and fair elections, where everyone has a voice and a vote, maybe you should stop talking and try listening. | 80.7 |
Democracy can't survive when a handful of people are making hundreds of billions a year, paying virtually nothing in taxes, and buying off what is supposed to be our government, while working people are living paycheck to paycheck. | 80.2 |
If our elections are fair, our side usually wins half the time and loses half the time and we get over it when we lose- we all survive the baseball season without trying to change the rules if we can't win. | 78.3 |
We should worry less about whether our candidate wins or loses than about whether we'll be able to vote again. | 72.5 |
If a CEO can get the cell phone of a Senator, the Senator needs to make that number available to the rest of us, or our government will be corrupted by campaign money and unfair access. | 72.4 |
We need to end mail-in-voting and require a birth certificate or a passport, to stop illegals from voting and another stolen election. | 51.6 |

Our seniors deserve the dignity in later life they paid for with every paycheck over decades of work, not constant fear that politicians will cut Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, which provides nursing home care. | 89.4 |
Our economy should work for people who work for a living, not just for billionaires. | 89.1 |
Working people deserve good American wages and benefits for a hard day’s work. | 87.5 |
It’s time we started growing the economy again and stop shrinking the middle class. | 86.9 |
No one should have to work two or three jobs just to put food on the table for their families. | 86.1 |
Small business and working people are the engine of our economy. | 84.6 |
Workers deserve their fair share of the productivity they create. | 82.3 |
The strength of the economy is measured not just by how fast it’s growing but how fast it’s growing a thriving middle class. | 82 |
The question isn’t who’s going to cut your taxes, it’s whose taxes they’re going to cut. | 80.5 |
To have a few dozen people worth hundreds of billions each and evade taxes while half of us have no idea how we're going to retire is immoral, and it's time we rewrite our tax code to match our moral code. | 80.4 |
Big corporations, like drug companies and big Wall Street firms, have proven repeatedly that they require regulation to make their products safe or affordable, without taking risks with other people’s lives or homes, because they are incapable of regulating their own greed. | 80.3 |
In tough times like these, billionaires and big corporations should be giving to charity, not getting it, by paying lower taxes than the rest of us. | 80.2 |
The best way to create new manufacturing jobs in America is not to pretend the old ones are coming back but to provide incentives to build new technologies here in America that are essential to our economy and national security, like computer chips and hybrid and electric vehicles, which all the major auto manufacturers are building anyway, and should build them here. | 80 |
Parents deserve the peace of mind that comes with high-quality, affordable childcare, and that we should give good corporate citizens tax incentives to provide it at their places of business. | 78.9 |
No one should work hard to graduate from high school, technical school, or any kind of higher education without the real careers on the other side, not just gig work. | 76.8 |
In an era of rapid technological change, the government should work with the private sector to help mid-career workers with expertise in declining industries train for better-paying jobs in new industries. | 76.7 |
Rather than laying off workers as AI starts doing more jobs done by people, we should provide tax incentives to businesses that keep their workers but cut their workweek to four days and increase vacation time, so all of us benefit from AI, not just the people at the top. | 76.4 |
No one should graduate from college, junior college, or technical schools with a mountain of debt. | 75.4 |
We need to make it easier for small business owners to join unions with other small businesses, so they can bargain together with insurance companies for the kinds of group rates bigger companies can get for themselves and their employees. | 74.9 |
Government regulations do nothing but strangle business and tie the hands of job creators. | 62.2 |
The "Big Beautiful Bill" gave Americans the biggest tax cuts in history, and preserved cuts for the businesses that create prosperity. | 48.7 |

No woman or girl should ever bleed out in the parking lot outside a hospital emergency room waiting for the doctors to determine she has lost enough blood to be on the verge of death, so they can perform a medically necessary procedure without fear of arrest for felony murder. | 88.4 |

ICE agents who kill people murder people should be indicted, like any other violent criminal. | 78.1 |
ICE officers should show their faces, wear badges, and treat civilians with civility, not bark profanities, smash their car windows, and drag them out of their homes into the cold, undressed. | 75.8 |
