"universal, free-at-the-point-of-use access to social care on the model of the NHS — the most expensive of the options it considers — would cost £18.5 billion extra annually by 2035.
That’s roughly equivalent to what Keir Starmer’s Defence Investment Plan would add to annual spending much sooner, by 2030"
Exactly!

From David Suzuki
Indigenous rights mean justice for all
We have much to be proud of in this country we call Canada. Universal health care. Diversity and multiculturalism. A high standard of living. Good education. Free speech, freedom of assembly and progressive immigration policies.
But we can’t take it for granted, and we still have far to go. We can’t forget that European colonizers took the land from people who had lived here for millennia, moving them onto reservation…

Researchers at Yale estimate that a single-payer public health insurance system in the United States would save over 100,000 lives annually, and reduce healthcare costs overall by more than a trillion dollars per year.

For years, Vice President JD Vance has railed against universal child care
and made snide comments about working families with little ones at home.
On Twitter in 2021, he claimed that “normal” non-affluent Americans prefer “a family policy that doesn’t shunt their kids into crap daycare so they can enjoy more ‘freedom’ in the paid labor force.”
Of course, no parents want their kids in “crap daycare.”
But what American mothers prefer is far more complicated than Vance’s…

I don’t shy away from hard fights — I sign up for them.
After Blakeman called New York parents who need universal child care “𝗹𝗮𝘇𝘆 𝗮𝘀𝘀[𝗲𝘀]”...
After Trump threatened me by saying “𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗞𝗮𝘁𝗵𝘆”...
After Vance flew into New York to 𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 for his MAGA buddies like Blakeman…
…You can bet there’s no way that I’m backing down from any of these MAGA cowards.
But I’ll be honest: I can’t take on this fight without your sup…
