The U.S. healthcare system is most profitable when it’s killing and denying care to the most amount of people. Unfortunately for us, we measure the success of the healthcare industry in dollars made, not lives saved. Pass universal healthcare with Medicare for All.
UnitedHealth, a giant health insurance company, has been buying up hospitals and surgery centers. Now it's requiring patients to pay to play.
And if you don’t have a doctor in the family or otherwise know how to navigate the Byzantine system you’re screwed. Great country America.
I can't believe ppl were worried about "socialized medicine." I have insurance, and anything STILL takes months to be addressed. To schedule JUST a consult for a routine colonoscopy = 3 months. Actually getting the colonoscopy? 3 more months.
Healthcare for profit Means keeping people sick for as long as possible to maximise profit Curing you cuts profits Having you die cuts profits Social healthcare paid for by taxation at a corporate level means a focus on fastest, cheapest & most efficient treatment, get you back to working
For profit healthcare companies are the modern day death panels that opponents of Obamacare used to warn us about
It's so stupid. End stage capitalism will eventually destroy American medical care except for the wealthy.
The “Death Panels” were here all along, but they also have a big enough lobby so…I guess we’ll all just die.
Let me guess: They want you to pay up front, but will still send you an additional surprise bill afterwards just for funsies.
How do you think it will ever pass when something like a public option isn't even reality? It's a topic that's been on the debate stage on and off since the FDR days. Even if we elect the next Bernie Sanders, there aren't enough Progressives in the House and Senate.
I became disillusioned when my primary’s practice was bought out by One Medical last year. They failed to order basic yearly blood draws before my yearly wellness appointment. They’re overworked and are made to limit the time they spend on a patient. My new one is so much better. I feel seen.
