I came of age in the 60's at the intersection of Civil Rights, Abortion Rights, and Medicare for All, in the aftermath of the defeat of German Fascism and Japanese Imperialism. All these were made personal to me in my father's medical career. He spent 10 years first overseas in the Army Medical Corp, then in the states as chief-of-surgery at a VA hospital. 10 years patching up soldiers crippled defeating Fascists and Japan. He set up private practice in a mid-Georgia mill town in '56. Found immediately that the broader society did not follow the color-blind policies of the Army or VA. Found soon enough that poor women were dying untreated of botched illegal abortions. The poor community soon understood that he would risk jail in nightly house-calls to save an innocent life. And he never learned to deny care to anyone for lack of money. Working daily to exhaustion he provided our small town the Medicare for All that we as a nation still suffer the lack of.

The treatment of Socio-Economic Issues that follows is guided by the general principles of 'Fair Market Capitalism' as defined below. The term “Free Market Capitalism” has ceased to have meaning when stretched to fit the unparalleled American corporate welfare state. Principles of Fair Market Capitalism A Fair Market exists only if there is competition. o Profits in Capitalism are earned by competition and risk o Markets that evolve to monopolies must socialized Fair Market decisions require good market information. o Product Market: GMO content, Country of Origin. . . o Labor Market: Free access to and exchange of salary/benefit info. The producer is responsible up-front for damages intrinsic to their production. o Social cost taxes on pollution, e.g. Health consequences o Risk: Undiscovered harms, e.g. Asbestosis, Climate Crisis To promote the general welfare the government must enforce these principles. For-Profit Healthcare is an example of a Market Fail. America is the only developed country with a For-Profit Healthcare system – and that only since the 1973 HMO Act. In Issues of Justice the following Principles suggest themselves. That no organization have the right nor the moral dilemma of self-examination and MLK's dictum that Justice Delayed Is Justice Denied. In issues of Social interaction one looks to the Golden Rule. Job 1: Stopping the Pandemic It early August 2020. The United States is the epicenter of the global pandemic. And Florida is the epicenter of the pandemic in the U.S. The March shutdown order brought a large portion of the real economy to a halt, precipitating a stock market, paper economy crash. Other OECD countries sustained the workers and contained the virus. 'Our' government pumped 4 to 5 Trillion dollars into the stock market and neglected to undertake tracking and containment. If an effective vaccine is not produced and widely employed, the outlook for Jan 20 when a new president if inaugurated, is dismal. Only then can things that ought to have been done in early February be done. 1) Declare a national emergency and invoke the National Defense Procurement Act(?) for PPE, Virus testing, medical equipment production, and other Relevant equipments. 2) Explicitly permit extraction of individualized tracking data from cell phone positioning data limiting use thereof solely to public health purposes in identifying contacts with Covid-19 positives for the duration of the uncontained pandemic. 3) Create HIPA exclusions for Covid-19 to allow personal identification of Covid-19 carriers. 4) Pass M4A. A STRATEGY FOR CHANGE We are rushing headlong into the abyss of Global Climate Collapse. The donor-owned Congress, by denial of science, has allowed this problem to fester. And Congress is where we must resolve the problem. This requires that Congress be re-connected to the people – Now! There is no grace period. No 'next' cycle. That requires a political strategy. The majority of Members of the Congress seated in 2021 will be corporate funded. But they will know that supporting the corporate agenda is no longer sustainable. Enough progressives will have won to make that clear. They will know that the real economy, the wage earners and small businesses - their neighbors' businesses and the former employees thereof, have hit rock bottom. We offer them a path to redemption, and re-election, in 2 Acts.
