My partner was infected with Covid by doctors because the doctors refused to use respirator masks or air filters.
Twice.
So now I'm campaigning.

Nurses in my town are fighting because the hospital is understaffed, endangering patients, while the hospital CEO walks off with $4 million a year in ill-gotten gains.
Mark, I really hope this set of tweets was acutally a satirical advocacy campaign for single-payer, because otherwise, wow.

I’m just a simple primary care doc (one of the annoyances mentioned in the 1st post), but I’d humbly suggest rich men consider that there might be entire fields of study, bodies of literature, diverse disciplines of subj matter experts, and a world full of lived experience on a topic before posting

I had to go to my primary to get a referral for a specialist I have been seeing for over 5 years. My new health insurance wouldn't cover a doctor appt without it. Now I need to get one every year just to see her.

I’m sure a ton of people are posting this same thing, but for us regular peons most specialists already do require an appointment, approval, & referral from our primary care provider first. This is the norm. Basic adult knowledge.

Mr. Cuban, most of us are already paying a huge percentage of our salaries in copays, premiums, and deductibles IF we’re lucky enough to have employment-based insurance. The money that goes to insurers now would more than fund a single-payer system. Dozens of countries make it work. Think, please.

Bro are you joking? I DO have to see my PCP before I can see a specialist. In fact, I usually have to go through MULTIPLE visits with a PCP before they will give me a referral to a specialist. And THEN I usually get to wait 6-8 months to see the specialist. You are way out of touch.

I recently compared notes with an American on health care costs, wait times, and tax rates. You guys are getting scammed. And I’m self-employed so pay for my own private health insurance (for prescriptions, dental and optical coverage bc it’s cheaper than paying out of pocket).

Mark you CURRENTLY have to see a primary before you can see a specialist and even then insurance sometimes says "nah we're not paying for this, it's not necessary" what world are you living in??

This is because of the "paperwork arms race". The doctor has to pay for half a dozen staff members to fight the insurance company, who pays half a dozen staff members to fight you. They both hire more every year in the "arms race".
If you pay cash, no arms race.

I work for a pediatric specialty hospital, and our specialists don’t need a referral to get paid by Medicaid but so many commercial policies do.
Pretty much every claim he’s making here against M4A is what commercial insurance is already doing 🤣😭
The audacity he has is wild

You literally can't buy fee-for-service 80/20 plans in many counties in the US. They are simply not an option where I live. The insurance companies refuse to offer them.

I've looked into several of these super-expensive medications. Guess what, single-payer government systems pay for them, the US private insurers don't. So that's fun.

There's no way that the 8 to 12% more in taxes is going to be more than they currently 50% of my income that I pay for healthcare. 🤣🤣
Also FYI - Europe is much further ahead on several things vs US 🙃

You keep describing the current system and asking people if they want that as a consequence to some different system.
Not only are regular people experiencing these things, we are already paying more than every other country on earth to do it.
So much of it gets hidden, get it out in the open.

Pro tip, Mark: before you post about something, bother to actually learn something about what you're talking about. You don't have to learn much, just enough that you don't sound like you're living on Bizarro World

Mark, what do you think happens in the United States? This is the country where very rich people have access to the most expensive doctors and hospitals and we don't.
In countries with single-payer, far more people have access.

US insurance companies currently refuse to pay for curative medications and care. Meanwhile, governments with single-payer can afford to pay for those medications and they do so.
Many people are leaving the US BECAUSE OF THIS.
Have you considered doing your homework before posting nonsense, Mark?
