Summary
The killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson has reignited debates over the U.S. healthcare system, with Americans sharing stories of denial, delays, and exorbitant costs despite having insurance.
Many report fighting insurers for coverage of essential treatments, facing hidden costs, and taking drastic steps like career changes to secure health insurance.
Critics blame corporate greed for worsening access and affordability, while others note the system’s complexity discourages seeking care.
Though some find employer-provided plans satisfactory, the overall system is described as profit-driven and increasingly inaccessible, leaving many financially strained or avoiding medical help altogether.
Practices closing start at least by late 2000s, most of the 2010s there was a lot of consolidation, esp targeting provider firms with ownership shifting to PE firms. While health insurance newly hopped up on ACA regulations turn into mega corpos in their own right along with vertical integration.
Long story short, this is how the frog got cooked folks.
Kasier Permanente is a non profit so prolly has the best bones. All these parasites need to be nationalized under Kasier and then over a decade turned into a single payer, government ran organization model on of the successful templates across the world. Daddy pick which one he likes but this shot has to work.
This will never happen, i have better chance of exiting work class 🤡
