Sen. E. Warren is really on to something

The meme is Democrats need to show what they will do. Sen. Warren is doing exactly.that with her STOP CORPORATE CRIMES AGAINST HEALTHCARE ACT.

This could be a huge winner for the Democratic Party. Not just because it’s common sense and morally right, but because everyone, including the red hatters , is affected by this. Really hope this gains a lot of traction. So often a great idea on our side falls to the wayside. That should not happen with this. This could be very special. Call you’re reps.

This act is proposed U.S. legislation championed by Senators Ed Markey and Elizabeth Warren. It aims to penalize private equity firms, real estate investment trusts (REITs), and corporate executives for predatory practices, asset stripping, or negligence that leads to patient harm in hospitals and nursing homes.

I will attempt further research to respond to your question.

Thank you most kindly for your response.

bated breath to see how once the repukes get their corporate-offended clutches into it in order to neutralize any effectiveness against consumer healthcare abuse. Two entities that raise the cackles of every money-corrupted repub- Warren and Consumer Protection.

What would be special is a huge majority voting in favor of “STOP CORPORATE CRIMES AGAINST HEALTHCARE ACT” to prove these health insurance bought and paid for, useless stooges, have come to their senses and thus shock all damaged consumers.
