Democrats are fighting this government shutdown to keep your health insurance costs from skyrocketing.
Trump and the Republicans are hellbent on taking health care away from you.

Trump & his Republicans are fighting to ensure that Americans in Texas, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, and a bunch of other red states pay TWICE what they paid before for healthcare.

People have no idea how hard it is for Black women to always have to break glass ceilings, set new records, and "be the change."

It literally weathers us, kills us from the inside out.

I see things the same way! Health insurance industry is costing US economy at least $1.5 trillion per year for worse service. Every other developed company has proven single payer leads to lower costs and better service. Just buy industry out; in total, industry is worth about $1 trillion.

Texas Paul @realtexaspaul.com · 1d

I don't understand why I see things so differently. I see a health insurance industry that thinks it's entitled to charge people 1/3rd of their income for healthcare. That industry shouldn't be "fixed." It should be burned to the ground and its ashes pissed on.

If you have a chance to ask a California gubernatorial candidate, ask them for their plan for universal health care in the state.

Single-payer?
Public Option?
Swiss-style system?

If they don’t have a universal health care plan, move on to the next candidate.

Good thread! Everyone on here seems to get it. Our obscenely expensive, inefficient, unjust multi-payer system serves the moneychangers, not patients and their families. Now do something. Demand a universal single-payer system. Join SP advocacy groups. pnhp.org #MedicareForAll

So he's saying we should have some kind of payer that reimburses hospitals for costs equally. For that to work there would have to be only one -- a single payer...

Removing the profit motive from Healthcare is the only solution to this. It's either always going to be like this or we get single payer.

It’s common sense to do so. Taxpayers deserve to get benefits from what they pay in. Real reform would be universal healthcare. Far cheaper. Cut out those money-grubbing middle men.

Part Of The Problem @partoftheproblem.bsky.social · 17h

We need Universal Healthcare. NOW. ACA premiums, even tho they are “discounted”, are still far too unaffordable for many in this country, keeping access to healthcare out of reach for hundreds of thousands. MTG is correct. Insurance companies are ripping us all off, and NOBODY in government cares.

Nearly half of America’s early educators qualify for public assistance. That is absurd.

We need to rebuild childcare infrastructure to support workers by paying employees at least $24/hour.

What if we, hear me out, made sure the hospital was paid the same for each person treated because the government negotiated prices for everyone, like in, I don’t know, some sort of universal healthcare system. That would really solve this problem.

🚨I am saying this to everyone for FUTURE reference (if we get there). Please PLEDGE✋ to make healthcare a crucial issue ALWAYS. In 9 yrs as a Patient & Patient Advocate, it's always been: NO ONE CARES about healthcare UNTIL it's hanging by a thread. This MUST change if YOU want UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE!
