A family in Maharashtra’s Hingoli alleges a government ambulance couldn’t arrive due to lack of diesel, leading to the death of an unborn child. https://english.mathrubhumi.com/news/india/family-claims-pregnant-woman-lost-baby-as-ambulance-had-no-diesel-jsndswtn?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #PregnantWoman #DieselShortage #HealthcareCrisis #MedicalNegligence

In 2011, 59-year-old Richard James Verone robbed a North Carolina bank for exactly $1. Unemployed and uninsured with serious health issues, he sat and waited for police — hoping prison would give him the medical care he couldn’t afford. He got 3 years and the surgery he needed. No regrets.

I learned today that my staff and I are being dropped by our health insurance company,
BCBS-TN, on May 1. This is how small, queer businesses are treated in #tennessee. Not 30 days... not even two weeks notice to try and come to with health insurance coverage for all of us. Fuuuuuuuuuck health insurance companies.

@DenisCOVIDinfoguy I see it in every hospital in Victoria, BC & yet majority of staff aren't masked. I'm one of very few people in health care services, who have to see clients in all 3 of the hospitals here, who never stopped masking up. Cleaner air systems haven't been installed to increase public health safety in hospitals either. Our health care system will collapse - physically & financially - if provincial & federal governments keep ignoring covid & the many dire, costly, medical consequences it brings.

Shocking report: Balochistan’s healthcare system leaves 80% without treatment access https://english.mathrubhumi.com/news/world/balochistan-healthcare-crisis-80-percent-lack-primary-care-pakistan-i6vd4a1y?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #Balochistan #PakistanNews #HealthcareCrisis #PublicHealth #Quetta

What makes this case notable is not the amount stolen, but the logic behind it. The story resonates because it frames incarceration as more accessible than treatment, which many people interpret as a systems-level failure rather than an isolated act of desperation.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! #manitobahealthcare is in a state oif #crisis. I'm so tired of the excuses of our #healthminister.

How many more have to die?

All of my condolences going out to the Ross family, and to all who have lost loved ones who had highly preventable deaths, at the hands of the very system that was supposed to save them.

Crowdfunding has basically become America’s unofficial health‑care plan. A new poll shows most people hate relying on GoFundMe for medical bills, yet millions still do because the system leaves them no choice. We’re not “donating”; we’re plugging holes in a sinking ship.

Ah, the classic American pastime: 😱 panicking over healthcare costs! Apparently, there's a "full-blown crisis," as if this is somehow shocking news. Meanwhile, the only thing surging faster than those costs is the number of articles telling you to "brace" for it. 🙄

This health minister is useless. I voted for the #NDP, I despise the #PC's, but all this minister seems to do is blame the previous gov't, form committees, and "investigate" issues. They know damn well what happened, front line staff have been warning them about this for a very long time. Their priorities are out of whack, it's like someone deciding to hire an interior designer when the entire house is falling apart.

They bought #HealthInsurance promoted by #Trump. Then they needed surgery.

The cheap #health #insurance promoted by Trump officials has a catch.

Some states have banned “short-term” insurance plans with limited coverage, & consumer advocates have warned of the drawbacks.

This is not a click-bait headline. In fact, the phrase "utterly insane" is an understatement. Another underlying factor that's only touched upon tangentially is the lobbying power of the corporations who are profiting off of the current system. Our current mess is a direct consequence of skewed incentives in the economy, which prioritize shareholder value over everything else. It's kind of a no-brainer that unregulated companies will tend towards exploitative practices - it's baked into the system. #HealthcareCrisis #YayCapitalism https://open.substack.com/pub/yourlocalepidemiologist/p/aca-health-care-insurance-us-jetelina

This is horrifying. My biggest fear now is not necessarily that myself or someone I care about will get sick..but that they will die to due medical negligence like this.

We need action NOW.

Alberta might be on the verge of health care collapse. Believe it or not, Alberta is a province in a first world country. This is not sure to a lack of funds, it's due to mismanagement and underfunding to bring us to this point with the goal of bringing in private medicine. The Alberta government has failed in its job to care for it's citizens and operates like a banana fascist republic. The government of Alberta needs to either be removed.
