I learned today that my staff and I are being dropped by our health insurance company,
BCBS-TN, on May 1. This is how small, queer businesses are treated in #tennessee. Not 30 days... not even two weeks notice to try and come to with health insurance coverage for all of us. Fuuuuuuuuuck health insurance companies.

@DenisCOVIDinfoguy I see it in every hospital in Victoria, BC & yet majority of staff aren't masked. I'm one of very few people in health care services, who have to see clients in all 3 of the hospitals here, who never stopped masking up. Cleaner air systems haven't been installed to increase public health safety in hospitals either. Our health care system will collapse - physically & financially - if provincial & federal governments keep ignoring covid & the many dire, costly, medical consequences it brings.

Shocking report: Balochistan’s healthcare system leaves 80% without treatment access https://english.mathrubhumi.com/news/world/balochistan-healthcare-crisis-80-percent-lack-primary-care-pakistan-i6vd4a1y?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #Balochistan #PakistanNews #HealthcareCrisis #PublicHealth #Quetta

What makes this case notable is not the amount stolen, but the logic behind it. The story resonates because it frames incarceration as more accessible than treatment, which many people interpret as a systems-level failure rather than an isolated act of desperation.

Two 60 Minutes reports expose a deeper truth: privatization is draining U.S. healthcare and infrastructure, leaving Americans to pay more for less while corporations profit.
