#healthcareisahumanright — Public Fediverse posts

If I get asked why I'm a socialist, depending on who's asking, I think of responding like this:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

To add alt-text to this, a woman holding a clipboard stands over a woman on the floor in a hospital gown with her arm in a sling and an IV in one arm. The injured woman is scrubbing the floor. The woman with the clipboard says “you’ve almost earned enough credits for your pain medicine.” The caption explains this is the new model for #Medicaid. #healthcare #HealthcareIsAHumanRight

I'm in a position where I have to reach out for help from my family, friends, and correspondents here in our Fediverse. I do not do this: It's right there in my bio, that I won't use this great platform for fundraising or to sell anything; that I don't follow those who use it solely for such purpose. I'm a hypocrite I guess. I'm more than greatly concerned - I'm terrified that Society might not seize the huge opportunity here & now for the systemic change necessary to protect our #healthcare here in #VT, other rural areas, and around the country. Governance is great but governments are unreliable. This isn't charity, nor even mutual aid. This is about our sovereignty. I'm looking for a handful of people who'd like to be members in our effort. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

A friend passed this along and said Killian a lovely young man, which is immaterial really. Even if he was a dickhead, he should have access to healthcare here in Ireland.

So here's his GoFundMe to help him access healthcare in Spain.

The stopped clock has spoken: States will "have to raise their taxes."

Contact your state reps and governor to let them know you support raising taxes on the rich and corporations!

Support the groups working to make sure we have health care and day care and all the good things the federal government will not do because it's too busy killing people.

He said the quiet part out loud: no healthcare, no child care, only war.

“We’re fighting wars. We can’t take care of daycare. You got to let a state take care of daycare, and they should pay for it too. They should pay. They’ll have to raise their taxes, but they should pay for it. And we could lower our taxes a little bit to them to make up,” Trump said. “It’s not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these individual things. They can do it on a state basis. You can’t do it on a federal. We have to take care of one thing: military protection."

Today's email is about healthcare. Copy and paste into the forms on the websites of your Senators. Please share with friends. https://www.congress.gov/contact-us

Dear Senator --

I want you to force a vote on the ACA tax credit extension. We are the only developed nation in the world that allows its citizens to do without necessary healthcare. We are the only developed nation in the world that forces people into debt to pay for necessary healthcare.

Put a small band-aid on the problem now, then please be very clear and very detailed about your healthcare plan for this nation. Please be bold and inclusive and give us real solutions.

A recent Kaiser Family Foundation Poll found that three in ten households say they or a family member had problems paying for health care in the past 12 months. 41% of adults reported having debt due to medical or dental bills including debts owed to credit cards, collections agencies, family and friends, banks, and other lenders.

According the Congressional Budget Office, 20% of healthcare costs are spent on overheard -- prior authorizations, claims denials and negotiations, marketing, and profits.

I want you to talk about your plan to make healthcare available and affordable for everyone. How are you going to eliminate the gatekeepers who do not contribute to the health of anyone but instead extract profit?

We want everyone to have affordable, quality healthcare.

Between the (likely) expiration of the Affordable Care Act enhanced subsidies, cuts to Medicaid and Medicare, and the decade-long efforts to undermine and dismantle the ACA, the casualties and costs of our current healthcare system continue to grow as Americans continue to wait for a better option. Nearly 45,000 Americans aged 17-65 die each year due to lack of insurance, a number that could rise to over 51,000 preventable deaths in the coming years.

Rutland Regional won’t close its inpatient pediatric beds — at least for now

https://www.vermontpublic.org/local-news/2025-12-11/rutland-regional-wont-close-its-inpatient-pediatric-beds-at-least-for-now

> The sudden reversal came as the Green Mountain Care Board was preparing to use its newly-enhanced regulatory powers to vote on whether or not to allow the closure to go forward.

Kudos to GMCB for proper muscle-flexing! Vermonters and healthcare finance analysts must watch how RRMC hospital will now master its budget WITHOUT CUTS TO VITAL SERVICES. And every stakeholder which is all of us needs to watch closely now, how our own actual medical service providers and I don't mean insurance companies (who provide nothing but debt & prolonged suffering) evade shortfalls.

It must be really difficult to come up with a new health plan when you don't think anyone deserves health care.

But these plans that are coming out now proves how little you have thought about the problem. And how little you care about the American people.

Healthcare is a human right.

Dear Senator / Representative —

I would like you to be very vocal about your plan for affordable health insurance ahead of the Senate vote on extending the ACA subsidies.

Please spell out exactly what you plan to do to make healthcare more affordable. I want a detailed plan, a bold roadmap for how every American can access quality, affordable health insurance. I am seeing reports of premium costs increasing by $500-$1,000 a month, far beyond the budget of the average hairdresser, small farmer, and small business owner that depends on the ACA for their health insurance.

I would like you to hit the healthcare issue in detail every day, in every speech, in every media appearance until Congress comes up with a comprehensive healthcare plan that serves all Americans, not just the insurance companies and the rich.

What is your plan to get debt-free, affordable healthcare to everyone? Please talk about it constantly.

Looming affordability crisis set to hit Americans with #health #insurance through #work

The expiration planned by Congress next month for the “tax credits” (aka subsidies) that allow states to provide the public's access to the healthcare marketplace will create a sudden shock of hundreds of thousands - more likely in the millions - of Americans no longer able to get sickness, disease, and injuries treated; will begin a new period of #medical, #economic and #social collapse. This is combined with massive increases to private insurance including employer-provided plans & programs, and the effective end to all #Medicaid-associated programs nationwide next fall. An avoidable human #catastrophe from #MAGA, which the majority of the US public is only beginning to notice.

#CorporateDemocrats Falsely Claim Medicare for All Is ‘Unpopular’

This and other idiocy of the elites shows why the Democratic Establishment hasn’t learned a damn thing from losing to #Trump—not once, but twice.

Jeff Cohen
Oct 28, 2025
from #CommonDreams

This week began with the release of a report titled “Deciding to Win,” claiming to light the way “toward a common sense renewal of the #DemocraticParty.”

But the first mention of #healthcare is so far from reality that the authors might have more accurately titled their report “Deciding to Lie.” The report declares that Medicare for All is in the category of “unpopular economic policies.” The claim is false. But it’s in sync with the corporate sensibilities and wishful thinking of party operatives like James Carville, whose praise of the document appears on its first page.

Dear Senator / Representative -

We deserve a government that works for all of us, not just the super-wealthy.

I want the ACA tax credits made permanent and the recently cut nutrition assistance programs fully restored, and the recently fired CDC staff all returned to work. I know that this Republican Administration does not negotiate in good faith, so I want you to hold the line until they take care of ordinary Americans and the CDC professionals who keep us safe.

The 600 CDC staffers fired includes the team that helps prepare for pandemics and bio terrorism attacks, and the team responsible for researching cures to 100% fatal neuro-degenerative diseases like Kreutzfeldt-Jakob.

In the midst of the chaos, please be clear. Your constituents do not want a Continuing Resolution or Interim Budget without restoring Medicaid, Affordable Care Act Subsidies, nutrition assistance, and the CDC staff.

Stand firm in your resolve to protect ordinary Americans.

Dear Senator / Representative --

I want you to hold the line regarding the need to make permanent the extended ACA subsidies that keep healthcare affordable for 24 million Americans. Please stand jointly with those Republicans who have seen how damaging the end of ACA subsidies will be so that America sees through the lies many members of this Republican Administration are spreading. Healthcare plan open season starts in November for the millions of small business owners and small farmers who rely on ACA plans, so this issue must remain a priority.

I also want you to reverse the funding cuts to the nutrition assistance programs that 44 million of Americans need to get enough to eat every month. No one in the United States deserves to be hungry, especially children.

I don’t want you to agree to any new budget that cuts nutrition assistance or healthcare.

This is not about politics; it is about people, and it is about what kind of country we choose to be.
