@davidho
the health care corps dont want it solved. Cures cause them to loose customers and then they have to go to work. It is that simple.

the problem is #capitalized, for profit, #healthCare system.

#capitalized #health #insurance and #medical Care does not work. Its the wrong business model.
Capitalized system have a goal of max profit. In health care you get the max profit when you deliver the least amount of service for the most money.
That is not how we should be measuring a health care system.

We need a democratic single payer socialized medicine model. The USA doesnt need to invent one, they exist all over the world.

@cynblogger The monopolies are going to take advantage of #disastercapitalism as you note. Lara says fiscalizing #climate #modeling was the cost of keeping the well #capitalized companies in the state, retaining some competition, and avoid burdening the state as the insurer of last resort. The alternative was more #flybynight companies like the one that collapsed after #Paradise. He says the state will validate the models.
The market and courts have begun to price in #fire; shortly #floods and #extremeheat will push the market toward better actuarial models. Foster city raised their #levees, San Mateo is going to bond to do levees and #BiggerPipe engineering. But can you fit an atmospheric river in a pipe? Some cities are already taking about the street at the pipe, an option not available to Sacramento! There’s an opportunity to continue advocating with the insurance commissioner since actuarial science is a lousy route to #keepitintheground and #ManagedRetreat.

"we've #medicalized and #capitalized the natural #human state to such a degree that "seasonal affective disorder" is a diagnosed illness instead of being recognized as a natural part of being an #animal... of course #people are tired and don't want to work during the winter, we're NOT SUPPOSED TO! we're supposed to stay indoors and snuggle up and eat stored food and sleep during the winter! but since this gets in the way of Generating Profit 24/7/52, it has to be medicalized and otherized, and we are told that there is something wrong with us for experiencing this #natural #phenomenon."

@BruceMirken This is another example of the problem with #capitalized #healthCare. #Preventive services means better #health and lower health care cost and since #profits are higher on the more expensive treatments of sick people; well you get the picture. Its all about the profits. follow the money,
