5:33 Jill's answers keep getting tighter and tighter. It is too bad she was not on the debate stage with Trump and Biden. It would have been a shocking contrast. The entire dynamics would have been completely different. Biden would have looked even worse. I doubt Trump would have been able to resist attacking her. I wonder what they would both say about Russia.

JILL STEIN 2024

[@PeterCraigMartin]

I don't recall that Jill distinctly mentioned this, but embargos and sanctions on select Latin American countries are also _major_ drivers of immigration to other Western-Hemisphere countries, including the US, where employers _love_ cheap labor with zero rights and where rent-gouging landlords _love_ millions more tenants in the demand pool. Venezuela and Nicaragua are being hard-hit right now - I believe over _5 million_ Venezuelans have fled their country - but Cuba is the grand-daddy of them all, with its embargo now in place for 62 years and counting. What these countries have in common is that they won't allow American corporations and billionaires to plunder their peoples' resources and markets at will. They are called "socialist," and since the American narrative is that that socialism of any stripe is doomed to fail all on its own, I suppose the US thinks it's doing these countries a favor in trying to hasten the process by stealing their overseas assets, preventing them from exporting what they produce, preventing them from importing what they need, and mounting repeated coup attempts. Exporting freedom and democracy, winning hearts and minds, destroying the village in order to save it… We've heard it all before, and ordinary Americans don't want it done in their name, especially since we are indirect victims (multiple ranks below the direct victims, but still). Put the blame squarely where it lies: on the Fortune 500, on the Forbes 400, and on their servants in the military-industrial-congressional-intelligence-media-academia-think-tank complex.

[@Psychwriter1515]

Can’t find it, but being anti-war and anti-sanction, Jill has spoken out about the damage the US has done both militarily and with sanctions by pretending to bring “democracy” to other countries. She’s on your page….

[@kateoneal4215]

Jill has said exactly what you're saying here in several interviews.

[@PeterCraigMartin]

@@kateoneal4215 Sure, but not specifically in _this_ particular interview. I wish she had, since I'd venture that sanctions are currently the _leading_ cause of illegal immigration to the US and thus warranted highlighting. (Back in the 80s, the leading cause was probably US-backed military régimes, counterrevolutionaries, and death squads. I don't think it's _ever_ been "socialism" per se as much as the US response to it.)

Very interesting interview with Dr. Stein. She has a lot of sensible points. One thing I would have to ask, however, is how does she propose to handle Vladimir Putin, especially if she wants to halve the military budget? This monster will run roughshod over everybody. And what about our relations with China? The Middle East? What would be some viable alternatives? Our young people in the military have performed unflinchingly to protect shipping in the Red Sea. This speaks to the economy of the entire planet. If we cut our support of these efforts by half, what happens to it? I'd much rather see our tax dollars go toward improvements on the homefront, too, but unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the world we currently live in.

RFK has billion dollar SuperPac. Who do you think he’ll represent? His billionaire donors or the people? He’s against universal health care. How can anyone be against universal health care? 70K ppl die annually due to lack of health care. People are drowning in medical debt. Stop idolizing politicians because you like their personality. By voting for who we think will win instead of voting for who we’d like to see win, is what got us into the mess we’re in now.

It could be done, but big food is NOT going to approve and scream FREEDOM!

[@rubenlimon3961]

​@@kindGSLthat's exactly what rfk is talking about

[@PeterCraigMartin]

Switching to Medicare for All would save Americans *OVER A TRILLION DOLLARS A YEAR* while providing everyone first-dollar coverage for pretty much ALL healthcare services and products. You see, we don't just have a huge amount of duplicative administrative overhead (you can call it waste, featherbedding, or skimming if you want). We _also_ have a huge amount of _outright price-gouging._ That's because unlike virtually every other developed country, we don't use a single agent to "monopsonistically" bargain uniform fees and prices on behalf of patients. (A monopoly is a single seller, and you know what happens to prices and services under a monopoly. A monopsony is a single _buyer,_ and more or less the opposite happens.) SCHOCKING EXAMPLES OF PRICE-GOUGING I had several diagnostic tests/procedures done last year at a public university hospital, billed out at my state's traditional-Medicare rates. Medicare rates are typically the second lowest in the US, higher than Medicaid but lower than private-insurance rates. Out of curiosity, I compared my bills with what I would have been charged at a private clinic in France, from a similarly credentialed specialist MD with 27 years of experience, using the same equipment. The French charges were based on negotiated "national health insurance" rates. • One of the diagnostic procedures I had was billed out *51 times higher* here in the States ($5,403.74) than it would have been in France ($105.39). • Another was billed out *58 times higher* ($6,917.49 vs $120.18). • Another was billed out *77 times higher* ($7,303.07 vs $94.86). • Another was billed out *26 times higher* ($4,337.29 vs $168.68). I remind you that the American rates I was billed were "unfairly low" Medicare rates. And these types of differences are not a French peculiarity. I ultimately needed an operation and, facing an eight-month wait here in America, I had a Japanese friend check out options in Japan. The _total charge_ at a well-regarded surgical specialty clinic in Hokkaido would have been less than my 20% Medicare co-insurance out-of-pocket was here. And that included a full week of inpatient post-op recovery with meals, compared to the 24-hour bum's rush I was treated to here. (Japan, along with Switzerland, gets pretty much the best average medical outcomes in the world. The US is close to the bottom of OECD countries, ahead of Mexico and Turkey.) So, by dramatically reducing administrative waste _and_ price-gouging, switching to Medicare for All would save _more money_ than if we zeroed out the defense budget _entirely._ But there's one more major problem with American healthcare on top of administrative featherbedding and price-gouging: we train and license almost _a third fewer physicians per capita_ than the developed-country average. Virtually _no one_ in the healthcare-reform movement seems to want to acknowledge this elephant in the room. The only public personality I'm aware of who mentions it from time to time is economist Dean Baker, and he tends to emphasize that it's the reason American physicians are paid nearly double the developed-country average for physicians (a simple question of a professional cartel restricting supply to jack up incomes). But no matter how abusive it feels to be gouged by the people we're supposed to entrust our health to, our undersupply of physicians has other _even more dire consequences:_ • It's the leading cause of long waits for diagnosis and treatment. • It's the reason doctor visits for most Americans are few, far between, and sometimes short to the point of being perfunctory. • It's the reason many physicians don't have time to thoroughly familiarize themselves with new patients' medical records and to refresh their recollection before the next visit. • It's the reason Americans can't get same- or next-day appointments with GPs and are forced to go to the ER instead. (I got 'em all the time in France.) • It's the reason American doctors don't make house calls. (French doctors do.) • It's the reason behind physician overwork and burnout. Thus, in addition to switching to Medicare for All, it's critical that we also _dramatically_ increase the number of physicians we train and license. Otherwise, we're going to end up like Canada, which _also_ produces around a third fewer physicians per capita than the developed-country average and where waits are even _longer_ because Canada doesn't ration care through ability to pay like we currently do here. And if American physician incomes fall from _egregious_ to just _high_ as a result, which they will, I'm playing the world's smallest violin. They'll still do very comfortably well.

[@rubenlimon3961]

Why when you have RFK, he has a lot in common with the LP

[@HenryLang17]

The best gir the Libertarian party is Rfk, I like him too but we both know rfk has more chances

[@User-fy7xe]

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is the only libertarian candidate. TRUMP AND BIDEN CAUSED THE LOCKDOWN, MANDATED INJECTIONS, AND INFLATION. ROBERT F KENNEDY JR 2024 🇺🇸

[@TheRiderInBlack85]

There’s a lot I agree with her on. But overall, I do not think she would be a strong leader.

[@rubenlimon3961]

Rfk would be the most similar to her and has way much support

[@elaineroddy9958]

I’m not favorably impressed with Jill Stein. If she or any of the other lesser party candidates had the welfare of the country at heart they would contribute their support to Robert F Kennedy Junior. He is the only candidate besides Biden or Trump that has any chance at all. And he has a pretty good one I believe. He certainly the superior candidate to any candidate, running at this time. His knowledge of the problems and plan to correct the problems and his intelligence, integrity honesty experience and compassion outweigh any other candidate. Kennedy is the Remedy 😊😊😊

[@kateoneal4215]

Jill is now on enough ballots to win. Jr. still isn't. Her platform is REVOLUTIONARY. AND there's the little elephant in the room called "Gen O. Cide", as well......

[@dukedixon3192]

Oh great! Another dinosaur completely disconnected from the problems that face people 40 years old and younger.

[@bothpartiesaretraitors4021]

A lot of the policies on Democrats platform was copied from the Green Party such as universal health care, canceling student debt, Green New Deal.

[@myrandapierce4011]

She has the youth vote, according to recent Harvard polls. She's the only candidate speaking to youth, frankly! And she has my vote!

[@Burn_Slow]

She has my vote and I’m in my 20s

[@rubenlimon3961]

​@@myrandapierce4011she isn't the only, RFK Jr is leading the young vote, and the only candidate with real chances, she is only by 2% of support, I voted her las time, and didn't do anything

[@dukedixon3192]

She has the youth manipulated and suckered in the same way all candidates do. How about instead of just taking some geriatric that is presented to us we prop up someone we believe in. This lady has no idea what life is like for younger people as she grew up in a completely different America. She might convince you that she cares about your issues, but that’s what politicians do.

[@OneTheBlue]

As unimpressed as I am by Biden, he at least has half a chance of beating the Tangerine Toddler. I can't justify voting 3rd party this time. Maybe next time.

[@CarlosCruz-rf9mb]

Trump 2024

[@user-nc2qj2jc5q]

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤣🤣🤣

[@ricksissum8709]

You lost me at the green new deal and the 🐂💩housings

[@ElSan531]

Lowering the military budget? Sorry no vote for you

[@bothpartiesaretraitors4021]

If she wants to end wars, why do we need to spend half our budget on wars? You do realize the more money the pentagon gets the more Americans go without housing, health care, funding for public education, infrastructure, etc.,

[@luisdavidllense2293]

It's way too much. Most goes to the wealthy contractors anyway, not for actual 'defense.'

[@rettajohnson7229]

Trump in 2024, she can kick rocks,

[@user-nc2qj2jc5q]

Stockholm síndrome..break free from your Cult.

[@kindGSL]

Trump committed treason.

[@thomasford4716]

This lady is a joke.

[@DonaldJoeKennedy]

Jill Stein again? Yawn. Wasted airtime.

[@HernandogreensOrg]

Biden and DT both ran 3 times.

[@DonaldJoeKennedy]

Ran what 3 times?

[@CelebrationChronicles]

Go yawn with Biden 😂

[@imogendedo8296]

How is this exclusive? She is always talking to somebody. She is, as always, irrelevant.

[@C-Mack]

How many times has Jill ran and lost? AMERICA. DOESNT. WANT. YOU.

[@alexmeyer2222]

She didn't want to run this time round, but Cornell West ditched the party. They needed someone to step in quickly. If they don't run a candidate they lose ballot access.

[@C-Mack]

@@alexmeyer2222 thanks for the info but America will never vote for a president with her radical views.

[@BeauKpad]

She's run twice and lost, just like Joe Biden had in 2020.

[@michelleerwin3833]

How will you address the cause of the chronic disease epidemic that costs more than our military budget, I support Med4All but until we address the causation a Med4All system won't be sustainable. Also some of your male supporters that don't believe Israel has the right exist are sexually verbally abusive to women who don't agree with them on social media. This trend I'm seeing and experiencing is alarming. Do you believe Israel has the right to exist and do you support Hamas whose influence on your supporters is becoming widespread?
