CavyherdHealth Insurance companies should be nothing more than payment clearinghouses
Miss Gayle (@[email protected])
Attached: 1 image Health Insurance companies should be nothing more than payment clearinghouses and have no authority whatsoever to deny any treatment or medication ordered by your physicians. It should be illegal for health ins companies to be for-profit, or issue stock, and all executive compensation packages should be capped at less than $1million a year. It should be legal to sue existing health ins companies severally and executives individually for causing you harm by denying your treatment or meds.
Nicole ParsonsHow about public denunciations of the billionaires preventing #Medicare4All ?
Start with Koch Network; they own the most corrupt politicians. They've been at it for over a decade.
Koch Network doesn't do healthcare at all, just "health insurance" plans that don't pay out when it comes time.
A handful of billionaires don't have the right to decide who lives or dies.

Well, yes, of course.
Just set about making my fall medical appointments, and turns out, new "insurance" wants me to pay $500 for a screening that the previous insurance covered. Fortunately it's one of those gratuitous "test to make sure nothing has changed" on a factor that has been stable since I've been doing these screenings.
So yeah, no. See also: FUCK no.
Blessedly, I could afford it. But the whole thing just pisses me off so much....
william ⁂ maggosEverybody would switch to fedi if they knew everybody else would too. The value of having full control of your social media reach forever is obviously worth the cost of figuring it out once and paying the hosting costs.
These educational and collective action problems are so frustrating. See #RankedChoiceVoting and #Medicare4All.

Paul Wermer, CC BY-NC-SA 4.0#Medicare4All would save lives, improve quality of life AND reduce costs.
And thanks to #RFKJr and his policies, more Americans are already suffering costs - both health and monetary - from misguided polices from vacinations to diet.

OMFG WHY can't my dr's office figure out how to request the freaking GENERIC!?
I've been fighting (this round) off and on for three months now to get this straightened out after my insurace changed, and FOR SOME REASON, my Dr's office can't figure out how to operate their prescription portal, so I keep getting slapped with $1.5K copays for a drug that should be a copay of $10.
HOPEFULLY we've now got it straightened out from the insurance side, but WTAF....
