Nebraska Appleseed moving Medicaid for all

Citing data that 90,000 Nebraskans need access to health insurance and saying supporters aren’t waiting for the legislature to act organizer Molly McCleery and Nebraska Appleseed are circulating petitions for a Medicaid for All ballot initiative.

Insure The Good Life is the group leading the petition effort hoping to collect some 85,000 certified signatures by the July 5th deadline.

I like the idea of rolling the funding for Obamacare, TRICARE, Medicare, the Indian Health Service and the Veterans Administration together then offering Medicaid for all by increasing the estate tax, raising taxes on tobacco and adopting a carbon tax. Reproductive freedoms should be included with conditions just like the military does under TRICARE.
