@ProPublica
Not shocked…
Just angry & disgusted.
Just imagine the waste in the more “lucrative” private sector!
Inflation my arse!

What’s so heartbreaking are the resulting consequences…
Are Vets prepaid for their “healthcare”, such as it is…
With the highest cost…
They’re own well-being.
They’ve been robbed far too long.

Diminishing access to women’s healthcare &…
Shortages of obstetricians & maternity wards!
The mortality rates of black mothers is criminal.

@ProPublica wow, at this point I’m not even impressed. You just have to assume this is happening everywhere and in every industry. Doctors be damned.
