44 million Americans w/o health care. How’s THAT for a national emergency?

[dalton99a]

5. Or guns. Or climate change. nt

8. Go for All of the Above.

It would reshape the priorities of the whole country and give us policies that will actually institute real world, positive changes. A massive rollout on multiple key issues would open the door to innovation and launch whole new fields of R&D, science and aspiring entrepreneurs worldwide.

We need single-payer/comprehensive Medicare for All now.

10. Having him as POTUS for another, single day is the REAL National

Emergency let alone almost two more years. SOS! HELP!!!

11. Actually since the Repugnants have now deemed the President can issue national emergencies

after throwing a temper tantrum like a toddler for not getting the budget he wants and then declaring a National Emergency to get the money I think it's only fair that the next Democrat does the same thing.
For example how about a National Emergency for healthcare and make it so that everybody has Medicare despite what Congress might want.
Followed by of course a national living wage emergency as well as a national tax emergency to increase the taxes on the wealthy and corporations while closing all the loopholes they have been using.
