Medicare for all is the only option that gets us off this ridiculous, capitalist, brutal, "health care" merry-go-round. Anything short of that is just window dressing on the old system. I'm sorry that this is your reality, Lisa Ferrara.

As a healthcare professional,, it has always struck me as counterintuitive that the less the health insurance companies pay for our care, the more profitable they are. And guess which party gets the right to deny coverage.
Healthcare for profit is a prescription for disaster. The entire developed world knows that and offers universal healthcare for all their citizens. But, not the richest country on the planet! Oh noтАжwe must gouge the sick, injured and infirm for our profits.
Medicare had a chance until George W, the previous owner of the STOOPIDEST POTUS ever crown, turned it into a profit center with тАЬMedicare Advantage.тАЭ We all now know who gets that advantage. More fucking billionaires.
All the money they spend advertising Medicare (dis)Advantage could be way better spent actually just paying some folks' hospital bills or paying for some of the services they constantly deny - services that might actually save them having to spend more money down the road. But no. That makes way too much sense.
I have so many "healthcare professionals" working on their own behalf it's become nearly impossible to buy some Indica chocolate bars. Easier to hit the street for some bud.
Given the fact that they want "Medicare for None," I'm thinking the "for all" thing is off the table. They *want* us to die. It saves a fortune in Medicare and Social Security if we're dead.
Medicare for all still puts the insurance cos in charge of pharmaceuticals. It's great for hospital/rehab etc but the pharmacy benefit managers (CVS) are raking in the dough and the Rx copays can be surprisingly steep which is why Biden also passed caps on copays for Rx via medicare plans. It just needs to be legislated across the board that no matter who dispenses insulin under any insurance or pharma program it's capped. Period. End of negotiation and fuckery.
Medicare for all is necessary since those of us on Medicare canтАЩt see a doctor because reimbursement rates are too and any doctor can choose to not accept Medicare if they donтАЩt want it. I just retired a year ago and have yet to find a doctor because of this.

Doc - ditto. At some point, it dawned on me that plumbers made more $ /hr than I did. So I got off all insurance panels. Still in healthcareтАж

Thank you, Carol. You are 100% correct. Hoping Medicare For All becomes a reality in my lifetime.

Pessimism I actually agree with.
And bonus, they get to steal all the SS money.

You definitely make a good point.
I'm a licensed insurance agent. I don't sell but I do know where the grifting happens. Good luck and keep us posted!
