MARK ALI for Congress

After long and careful consideration, I have decided to announce that I'm officially dropping out of the CD-05 race.
I want to thank the few faithful supporters who invested their time, energy and donations in our grassroots campaign. I wish everyone the best, and perhaps we will be able to continue to make an impact in our community.

Thank you.

Between one-third to one-half of nurses and doctors in the US suffer from burnout, according to a new report from the National Academy of Medicine.

The causes of burnout include unmanageable work loads, inadequate technology, and a lack of support.

Clinician burnout is reaching a breaking point this year. Doctor burnout reached an all-time high in 2019, and nurses went on strike in four states this summer.

The causes of burnout include unmanageable work loads, inadequate technology, and a lack of support.

Leaving the Foxes ( Health Industry and Big Pharma) in charge of the Hen House (Healthcare care System) will maintain the status quo - in other words more of the same situation as in the article below.

Trump administration official resigns, calls for massive student debt forgiveness

First Progressives and now Republicans talking about student loan debt forgiveness.

The mandate to take on a mountain of debt to get a job that won't allow you to repay the student loan is unconscionable.

A. Wayne Johnson had been COO of the Office of Federal Student Aid, which manages the country's $1.6 trillion outstanding student loan portfolio.

York County can afford to give Billionaire David Tepper (net worth of 11 BILLION dollars) and owner of a 2.3 Billion dollar company ( Panthers) tax incentives of 120 Million dollars, but can't keep a shelter for the homeless open?

Homelessness is growing at a rapid rate in our state and our country, because local government is creating poverty and homelessness at the expense of the working people. While local government feels the need to give hundreds of millions of dollars to billionaires and Big Corp, it expects the working class to squeeze by with the hopeless minimum wage/ poverty-wage/ homeless wage.

"Give a man and a woman a living wage and they will afford a place to live"

Renew Our Community board voted to close the homeless day shelter in Rock Hill, South Carolina, due to funding. The decision comes months after its longtime leader retired and the thrift store closed.

The poor just happens to be an easy target for employers, law enforcement, the criminal justice system, financial institutions, IRS and the list can go on and on. Why focus on rich people when you can easily bully the poor?

Congress asked the IRS to report on why it audits the poor more than the affluent. Its response is that it doesn’t have enough money and people to audit the wealthy properly. So it’s not going to... The IRS audits the working poor at about the same rate as the wealthiest 1%. Now, in response to ...

The Health Insurance Industry exist purely for profits - nothing else. They don't give a rat's ass about the people. I know, there are a ton of people who like their insurance and refuse to depart with it - that's until the Insurance company ( that doesn't provide any medical services) refuse medical treatment recommended by your doctor.

Red tape and a lack of in-network providers frustrate those seeking treatment.

I'm sorry, but universal healthcare is bigger than any president's legacy - including Barack Obama. There are people who are dying, because of the lack of health insurance, rationing insulin and seniors kicked out of hospitals.

We can do better!

Democrats' all-out push to support Medicare-for-all has been "insane" and will reset the progress of the Affordable Care Act, said former Obama White House Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel on Sunday.

The squeeze on American workers to make billions in profits for Big Corp and CEO is still on. The minimiscule yearly raise we receive is immediately wiped out by higher health insurance cost and cost of living increases while CEO enjoy their million dollar per year wage increases.

The Political Economy Research Institute (PERI) at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst published a 2018 analysis that demonstrates the feasibility of single-payer health care in the U.S. The PERI study determined that Medicare for All would reduce total health care expenditures from the current $3.24 trillion to $2.93 trillion per year. In addition to slashing administrative costs, the plan would generate significant savings through firmly negotiating drug prices and through other measures. American households would pay up to 14% less than they are paying now. People would contribute via equitable taxes, rather than through premiums and deductibles, and overall, they would pay less!

In the U.S., we pay for huge corporate profits, and for the administrative costs and waste associated with a for-profit system.

When rich people who are filthy rich, and have everything they could ever want, they focus on creating non profits that strip away the little bit of help the poor get to make it from one day to the next.

The group has already achieved some victories in states including Kansas, Kentucky, Mississippi and West Virginia.
