    Private Healthcare Providers are simply #Leeches and #Unethical ones at that.

    That is not to say that the health workers they employ share the same social guilt. I’d wager most workers do in fact care for patients unlike their #Grifting corporate employers and the #Usurious #Insurance companies.

    Making a #Living from providing healthcare services is socially responsible.

    Making a #Profit from healthcare is #Inhuman.

    #StateTheft #StateCapture #AusPol

    Ban #ForProfit Health Insurance
    Beef up #NotForProfit Health Insurance regulations
    Boost #Medicare (also include #Dental cover) for a comprehensive public healthcare system.

    #DougFord, #Ontario has increasingly expanded the role of private, #for-profit providers in delivering publicly funded #healthcare services, including surgeries and diagnostics.

    The provincial government says this is a solution to wait times, staffing shortages, and other problems. But the research shows the results are exactly the opposite.

    In this video we look at Ontario's approach to integrating for-profit healthcare, who really benefits, and what it means for Ontarians.

    News to ME this morning: ICE detention centers are FOR PROFIT. There's a new board in Kansas putting just one of these under review.

    Alt= Image of an item on the KPR website (Kansas Public Radio) with a pic of some kind of board at a meeting, with the headline "Leavenworth's for-profit ICE detention center under scrutiny from new community board", then "The 1,000-bed facility is currently holding 249 detainees. The board is intended to hold the CoreCivic facility to its agreements with the city and ensure inmates and employees are being treated fairly."

  32. Yet another #CEO saying that, because they and many of those who work for their #forprofit #company have done very well out of the existing #copyright regime, nothing should be allowed to change it, and certainly not #ai:

    theguardian.com/commentisfree/

    As a rejoinder, here are two reasons why the existing copyright regime is not fit for purpose and should be transformed. They're taken from my forthcoming book Defund Culture, which is being published by a non-profit, scholar-led, #openaccess publisher under a Collective Conditions for Re-Use (CC4r) license:

    1) Copyright is a major driver of #inequality in the twenty-first century, playing a pivotal but often overlooked role with regard to understanding the roots of disparities of #wealth in modern societies (Bellos and Montagu).

    2) Copyright overwhelmingly serves #corporate interests – those of tech monopolies, #music #labels, #publishers - while restricting access to knowledge, ideas and the cultural #commons
