USA #SickCareForProfit offered damn near 0 phone interview opportunities for 3 months after 1-yr Springfield, VT contract ended in late November '23.
I was offered a contract in St. Johnsbury, VT during that time - but it was rescinded after I requested #ActuallyAutistic ADA accommodations.

Insurance companies aren’t just players in the fight with doctors over money; they’re also the referees.
They produce their own guidelines on when to pay claims. If a doctor appeals a denial, insurers make all the initial decisions.

It's easy to think--at least he's telling families to vaccinate their kids. But the effect will be lower vaccination rates. Why?
Those who already avoid vaccines will see this as validating their extra caution. And some on the fence will now try to delay/spread out shots and end up skipping some.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.

The point I'm attempting to make is I believe subsidies are ineffectual "band-aid" on a gaping slash wound in coverage under #SickCareForProfit.
It needs to be extensively overhauled, if not 100% replaced with #MedicareForAll, in USA within next decade!

My very important question:
Will House & Senate Democrats (especially if they regain power in 2026 midterm elections) consider #PublicOption as first *LONG OVERDUE* step toward #MedicareForAll?!

Americans are sick of skipping doctor’s appointments, rationing medicine & delaying lifesaving surgeries because health care is so expensive.
If we don’t act now, millions of Americans will lose their health insurance. Dems are fighting to protect our people & reopen the government.

Mom initially vehemently resisted the #SickCareForProfit rehab facility advice - until around her birthday, June 21, 2023, when she finally entered Green Mountain Nursing & Rehab home in Colchester, VT.
I wrote a Google review about that place, excoriating them for turning on bright lights at 5A.

She self-administered at least 6 weeks of IV antibiotic & IV anti-fungal agent via PICC line.
