Spoke to a supporter this week who said, "I had a stroke 9 months ago. I'm now disabled & paying thousands a month despite having health insurance. I'm financially ruined."
Of all developed nations, such injustice only exists in the United States. This is the end result of our for profit health industry. Enough.
We Need Guaranteed Healthcare.✊🏽
And when I’m in Congress you can bet I’ll fight relentlessly for it.❤️
I am Canadian, diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer in 2022. I had specialist consultations, tests, a biopsy, more consultations, scans, surgery, a hospital stay, nurse visits, hormone treatment, seven weeks of radiation. I meet with an oncologist and urologist annually, after blood tests.
Cost to me was about $250, to travel to the hospital (65km) and back, and pay for hospital parking.
In the USA this would have cost me $150,000-$250,000 and forced us into bankruptcy.
