Medicare for All Is Making a Comeback
-
"The counter to this chaos is simple—and it’s something we’re starting to hear about on the stump from Democratic candidates....
We could have a national health insurance program, better known as “Medicare for All.” Given the wreckage of the #Trump era, Medicare for All has a lot to recommend."

2/ I'll end the suspense: the insurance company paid out $72,953 dollars. We assume that's in US currency, so that would be around $100,00 Canadian. For an incompetent/negligent operation.
And folks STILL complain about Canada's #medicare? -
And we give a smarmy second assist to #Trudeau here, who trotted out a dental plan, unless you've already got a thing, no matter how shitty
Now shittier shitheads are even mooooooore eliminating the #universality principle from #Medicare

AI might be making the final decision when it comes to getting that medical procedure you need. Six states in America have been involuntarily enrolled in an AI programme that aims to cut down "wasteful" procedures. Is your state one of them?

UGH, for-profit U.S. Medicare and Medicaid plans... When a Medicare Advantage Plan company's stock drop, so do spending on patients. Now, same thing is happening as states like #Ohio (MyCare Ohio) get rid of traditional Medicaid for a Medicare Advantage plan type model.
Stock trading for Medicare Advantage companies has taken a massive hit. "We are seeing, on the Medicare Advantage side and the Medicaid side, less value-based opportunity versus when it comes to CMS direct business, there’s significantly more.”
"That pullback permeates the full healthcare continuum — including palliative care, where per-member, per-month support from some Medicare Advantage plans decline even as cost of providing interdisciplinary care for serious illnesses has grown," said Jennifer O’Neill, vice president of palliative care at VITAS Healthcare. #USPol #Medicare #Medicaid .

AP’s coverage∶
The #NationalDebt surpassed a record $40 trillion Wednesday, a staggering milestone as #defense costs, #social programs like #SocialSecurity & #Medicare & interest on the burgeoning #deficit to make up an enormous share of federal spending.
The milestone figure was recorded just 5 months after the US hit a record $39 trillion debt in March. It reached $38 trillion 5 months before that, in October [all under #Trump’s watch].

I caught #COVID (although I am vaxd & mask in most public spaces) & when the doc prescribed Paxlovid, the #Medicare co-pay was $800
The woman at the pharmacy assumed it was an error, but no....

Clothes make the man. Money from the insurance lobby will buy some mighty fine threads. What's in your wardrobe, unhealthy American fearful of medical debt? Nothing like what he's wearing in this clip, I'm guessing.
Rub our noses in it, why don'tcha?

How pathetic is it that in the US #healthcare system, nearly 1 in 12 adults aged 55-64 put off treatment until they qualify for #medicare? Heavy medical debt drops significantly once they cross the 65 year threshold.

Tell me again the reasons for not having a single payer healthcare system in the USA? 🤔
Of course, I know why insurance companies are opposed! ($$$)

Dear #Medicare
I've now automatically filtered all email from you into my trash. I don't need "Dr." Fuckhead's marketing, thanks ever so.
