  1. The Executives concern is maintaining shareholder value, not treating patients, making this article seem part of a lobbying campaign for Congress to subsidize hospitals without providing a Single Payer system.

  3. Like #CA #GovNewsom, top Dem candidate for state's highest office pulls a #Gavin and quietly backs away from previous pledge to support #SinglePayer #Healthcare in America's most populous state...

    #Newsom previously earned a big endorsement from state's powerful #nurses union before betraying promise to put issue on his agenda once elected.

    Spokesman for former #HHS secretary under #Biden calls goal "unrealistic"

  5. Democrats love talking about affordable single payer healthcare...right up until they’re in a position to actually pass it. Then suddenly it’s "NOW is not the time..."

  6. Why covid will be with us forever part 45,192:

    After two weeks I still tested weakly positive yesterday. I'm now out of covid tests. I have Anthem insurance. They stopped covering at-home tests a couple years ago, as I finally found out after 45 minutes on the phone, dealing with different bots, phone trees and finally, transfers to different actual people (4!).

    But, hey! I can go to urgent care and get the test done. But, oops! There's a $30 copay.

    I clarified with the last phone guy that my choice was to go to the local pharmacy, pay $18 out of pocket for a single at-home test, or go to an urgent care clinic and pay $30 myself *in addition to Anthem then getting billed hundreds of dollars by the clinic*. Yep, that's their logic.

  10. Has somebody done the math on whether dealing with our #healthcare "system" itself is making people sicker?

    I am personally sick of the all the convoluted time-wasting, life-wasting garbage.

    Energies better spent elsewhere.

  12. Everybody talks about how #singlePayer would eliminate the wasted money sucked out of #healthcare by insurance companies. That misses a more important point.
    If the government is going to be paying for your healthcare no matter what, then they want to keep you healthy, because healthcare costs are lower for healthy people.
    An insurance company, on the other hand, can just bet on you losing your insurance because you're sick and can't work or afford it, and then you're no longer their problem.
