@rustyrockets - @realpatchadams has a few things to say about #peace, #healthcare, #resiliency during the pandemic, & how #Hollywood bent him over. His global #humanitarian life saving, joy-inspiring work of 50+ yrs gets little mention while others make bank for midriff shots😲

I do not think you only have a right to health care if you have the money to afford it. I think you have a right to health care because you are a human being.

This is a terrible, sad scandal. Our loud condemnation should not be allowed to be drowned by our, legitimate, Covid-19 concerns. We must stand up for one of the most decent human beings alive today: Ken Loach jewishvoiceforlabour.org.uk/…

While we work to pass Medicare for All, the U.S. government must be clear that in the midst of this emergency, everyone in our country—regardless of income or where they live—must be able to get the health care they need without cost.
