Health care expenses have risen 101% over the past 30 yrs but costs related to medical services have decreased by about 1/3 since 1980. The biggest reason for the increase is insurance costs, which have grown by 740% since 1984. #RemoveTheMiddleman #MedicareForAll #UnrigTheSystem

When you add up the profits the healthcare industry is making ... and then toss in the premiums we pay ... "Medicare for All" would clearly be paid for ... If Norway, England and Germany can do it ... We can do it!

Due to insurance middlemen, our healthcare system has become exceptionally corrupt & way beyond expensive. Medicine which costs 2 to 5 cents in several countries cost $20 or more in USA. It’s outrageous how our insurance system is designed to price out & bankrupt so many.!!

Like millions of other relatively low income senior citizens, I cannot afford to get sick even though I'm insured by Medicare. I've been lucky so far. I've been blessed with good health. Sometimes I pray that if I'm ever involved in a serious accident, God will take me.

The real problem is those Americans who spend $0 a year on Healthcare year after year and end up in the emergency room with a $50,000 bill that would have never happened had they gotten some cheap preventative care but they opted to pay rent instead.
