📢 Is anybody listening? Anyone in the US?? Any POLITICIANS in the US??

"'Millions of voters believe their out-of-pocket #health #insurance costs have become unbearable and something has to change,' Anderson said."

"A memo breaking down the research says that voters 'will reward candidates willing to hold them in check.'"

> [We need] a commitment to one another to disrupt the normalization of mass suffering and death. To use our voices, our time, our talents, and our money to support organizations that educate and empower rather than silence and punish. To advocate for all children in all spaces, whether or not they want us at the table or try to hold us down.

Like #MsRachel Dr Chomilo is told he can advocate for #children, just not #Palestinian children.

I keep hearing that universal healthcare means endless waits and crumbling clinics.

After years under the Italian system, the reality is different. You get a priority code based on medical need.

Chronic conditions are fully covered. You might wait six months for a hip replacement, but you will not spend six years paying for it.

I wrote about how it actually works.

Health Insurance Scam? Woman Pays More WITH Coverage Than Without for Care

Why does insurance cost more than cash? This shocking story breaks it down. A viral story reveals how U.S. health insurance forces patients to pay more, not less.

Re. the last post I boosted:

Do US medical soaps and dramas ever cover the financial implications for patients of being helped by the show's paramedics/doctors/eccentric but actually a genius consultant?

"Hooray we cured your incredibly obscure illness, here's a bill for a million dollars thanks. And by the way your insurance doesn't cover obscure illnesses".
