Single payer health care not tied to employment could make America great again but it's not going to happen anytime soon.
All these health insurance C-suite executives should be begging for nickels on highway medians.
And we already have a single payer system that is just waiting to be expanded. Medicare. It isn't perfect, but it's a damn sight better than any private insurance.
begging for nickels on highway medians.
I would pick "rebuilding Wrangel island" or something like that.
Wrangel Island is super cool though, Wooly Mammoths survived there for six thousand years after they went extinct on the mainlands.
If an agent of the insurance provider can just interrupt a medical procedure based on their own policy, and the lack of patient information is from their own negligence, that is wilful harm inflicted by United Healthcare.
Lock United executives up instead of Luigi Mangione. The US private healthcare system terrorizes Americans far more than one individual suspect could.
Shit just doesn't add up with his arrest at all, they needed an entire case and just found it hanging out in public during a manhunt with all 3 key pieces of evidence needed to convict.
That arrest was damage control to display the illusion that we cannot get away with revolting.
Mate, we don't really need more reasons to think Luigi did a good thing and that we need more good things like that...
capitalism is unacceptable wherever there is inelastic demand.
I agree with the first three words lol
I think it can end there too but I'm not going to say markets and then spend the rest of my day explaining why that's different.
"inelastic demand"
I like that phrase, thanks
Why is anyone in the operating room taking a call during surgery? Surely anything an insurance company has to say can wait.
Which company?
Who is the CEO?
The CEO is probably trying to keep a VERY low profile, given what happened to the last one.
You know, at some point, we either accept that our homie LM was right and follow his lead, or we just fucking accept it. Because nothing seems to ever change anyway, so at least we can make the ratio of numbers taken down a little closer.
I can imagine the tone of that conversation where some khaki-wearing bean counter forces a surgeon to scrub out to debate the necessity of surgery on an open patient.
