Private health insurance as a rule serves no purpose except to make money for private health insurers. It is a leech on the very system it claims to serve. #Medicare4All
Here is a sobering reminder of how insurers have rigged the game as we enter tax season: NEW: A whopping 60% of @AnthemInc's ~$137 billion revenue came from the federal and state taxes Americans paid last year. wendellpotter.substack.com/p…

Now do government health insurance
Replying to @marwilliamson
Understatement but certainly on the right general track. It's more like a stage four cancer well on its way to consuming the host, corrupting everything it touches.

If I look at how the government handles things, including this pandemic, I don't know if Medicare for all can help us, though I agree that something has to change.

What is the profit margin for private insurance companies?
Replying to @marwilliamson
Medicare for all, indeed. Wish every state would start by expanding Medicaid that hasn’t done it. God so many people could be helped that need it more than ever.

Medicare has been sold out to the private profit of insurance companies who call it the Medicare Advantage plans which is a way for them to suck the money out of Medicare completely enabled by the federal government. The government now only works for corporations and oligarchs.

I support Medicare for all, but we should also include Universal healthcare. People should be able to pick and choose their providers. I have HSA and I like the fact that I get to keep my money if I don’t use it. It’s like putting money into a 401k. It’s good for retirement.

When government gets involved costs go up and productivity/quality goes down. Government is force. Get government out of health care. Prior to 1965 it was.
