Health insurance is a Ponzi scheme. They raise rates for the shareholders.
meechiemoochie
And Medicare is still being called “an entitlement.” Anyone who votes Republucan is just stupid or too rich to care.

If Bernie manages to get us M4A in his lifetime he will go down a national hero for all of US history. Unfortunately I see it as unlikely.

The longer you wait, the richer they get, and the more powerful they become for generations.

don't forget to thanks a Republican for the shitty Healthcare System
ProudAussie
Other countries had great public health systems until the late 80s when Americanism went global & fuck up things in the name of profits.
KnotsInMyRope
I have "good" health insurance and I put off care too because it is shit anyway.
hauntednursery
My "good" insurance didn't even cover the ultrasound that found the fibroids that are slowly bleeding me to death. It costs $400/mo
hauntednursery
I have no doubt that they won't cover surgery or treatment either if they wouldn't even cover an exam. What are we paying for?!
slaughterface
I'm wondering why my prescription co-pay doubled this year? Because they can?
Hammertulski
I do believe that's exactly why, and the same reason they charge double for a 20mg (more common) vs 40mg of some meds - because they can.

If this was a Hollywood movie the audience would shocked at the inhumane oppression of this obvious third world country.

Nothing wrong with Mainstream Media. But trusting them as your source of news is naive.

Can't believe all the people that said Sanders was too old, then put Trump & Biden in there.
ArkoneAxon
They didn't. Both were pretty much handpicked as the only choices presented to the voters.
MAN9000
There were times of people here in Imgur saying Sanders was too old when the legitimate alternatives were the same.

Not exactly a refutation of my point - Julian Assange is still being persecuted for revealing how the DNC rigged the primaries.

And yet half of youtube US is full of the discussion why fully automatic guns arent unrestricted available, and that it's unconstitutional..

Americans are sick & dying putting off needed medical care, as the healthcare industry rakes in record profits. It's mass murder for profit!
Illithidbane
Everything in the US is about money. Jesus is about money. School is about money. Gov't is about money. We are the Ferengi without the Rules
Rdj326
insurance is a scam especially when its a requirement like car insurance.
Illithidbane
But if we had single-payer healthcare, there could be "death panels" that deny care, or people could have to wait for care! Imagine it!
eromitlab
Public sector death panels? Horrible! Private sector death panels? Essential!
Wolfshead009
Instead we get denied care and individual bean counters with no medical knowledge making the call.
GhostoftheNorth
I think if we didn't have republicans,universal healthcare would be available,for everyone.

Health coverage is not health care. There’s no such thing as universal health care.
spartys
Has nothing to do with Republican or Democrats. It’s called greed.
SJTango
There’s no such thing as universal anything. Having health insurance isn’t healthcare. Good grief. Most places don’t take gov insurance
Illithidbane
I wish we could AB test reality. Run a timeline with no conservatives in gov't post 1865 and one with only cons. See the difference.
fonicartes
If not that, I wish there was a way a city/county/state could do it as a test case.

Plenty of Democrats are against universal healthcare too.

There are democrat conservatives who are against universal healthcare. Ex. Manchin, sinema etc.

Come now, let's not pretend that either party will even think about bringing in M4A.

Or with a POTUS who promised to veto M4A if it crossed his desk.

Well once we start indicting the Jan 06 enablers, we can win the majority again.

do you think the insurance companies haven't bought of the Democrats also?

Funny thing is, most republicans support medicare for all. Unfortunately, they salivate at the chance to fellatiate racist jackboots more.

My wife worked in an oncology department for about 6 months and had to quit. Thought she would be helping patients deal with treatment...
LordHosk
She was basically giving hospice care to you people who couldnt afford to take time off work for treatment, or who got kicked off insurance.
LordHosk
had to take more than 2 weeks off and couldn't afford early care. 6 months, over 70 patients, 54 died, 52 directly related to insurance BS.
LordHosk
She heard it over and over from her patients "I knew I was sick, I had insurance, BUT I couldn't afford to take the time off/They fired me"
jemappelletosca
Your wife should write a book. Or a blog. This is horrible to hear about

The medical system in the USA is a joke - and as always, Republicans are to be thanked.
SJTango
No. Health insurance is a joke… and that’s a democrat initiative
oddmog
And countries like the UK and Aus are hurtling towards having the same systems as the USA despite proven awful for all except very wealthy.
SJTango
Because they learned that there’s no such thing as free anything and they have doctors quitting left and right

Well, you do know people still get paid in civil service too right? But yes, under/funded/paid and covid burnout staff private and public.

BUAHAHA! You actually kept a straight face with that one! Heheh... now pretend that Biden didn't promise to veto M4A if it crossed his desk.
MADchemEE
I thought the ACA required insurers to spend 90% (?) of their intake on care. Like, they're limited how much profit. Am I wrong?
SJTango
You are incorrect.
IOnlyNeedOneBall
About what. You stealing a marines account to post the most traitorous limp dick takes imaginable? Get the cheeto dust off ya lips.
oldguyexlurker
I'm not going to place that ENTIRELY on the Republicans. Democrats allowed the ACH to be hijacked by the insurers as well.
SJTango
I mean ACA IS insurance ?

Something can be better than nothing, but the ACA has killed any further progress in this area without solving any of the core problems.
