    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.

  11. RE: apobangpo.space/@bich/11649992

    I was on an expensive drug for a couple of years. The Medicare Part D cap on out of pocket costs was the only reason we could afford it. The cap was phased in, $3,300 per year in 2024 and $2,000 per year in 2025.
