- AsyncAwait 7y agoShe does not, she supports for people to have "access" to healthcare, which isn't the same thing.
- einpoklum 7y agoWell, she's not proposed a bill, and not supported Sanders' Medicare for All bill which is the current leading proposal for universal health care in the US. And - she gaslights about it, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbq6t7bg2ro https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbq6t7bg2ro To explain why I claim she's gaslighting, note that universal health care in Capitalist societies has basically two options: 1. Government insurance, non-governmental provision 2.

Option (3.) is only for non-Capitalist economies. In the clip, Feinstein gaslights by pretending Medicare for All is (2.) rather than (1.) and declaring opposition to (2.) Finally, several days later, health insurance industry lobbyists organized a fundraiser for Feinstein, as mentioned here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFZxVixSjDc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFZxVixSjDc
