Our 4-year-old son suffered an asthma attack. We rushed him to his doctor, who refused treatment. Why? Because our health insurance wouldn’t cover it.
We had UnitedHealth—who leads the industry in rejecting 32% of all claims.
We must end the violence in America’s health system.

Good luck with your son, I hope it won't happen again soon.
@paul @QasimRashid Nixon, a republican enacted for-profit medicine in the USA, 1970ish. Capitalism is the problem that includes a misconception that it serves the masses. It Does Not. it is cannibalistic because there are too many humans, who want max profits at the expense of others
Btw, if anyone in this conversation failed to vote for Harris because of a single issue: Gaza, then you deserve the coming pain of another Trump presidency debacle.
I can make a good argument that greed, rather than Regan, brought down the USSR.
If I remember correctly (and if I was taught the truth
) Orwell's #1984 was about #communism but I think, in light of the present, that the moral applies equally to any society led by elitists.
I don't think limited #capitalism (with #publicsafety, #corrections, #masstransit, #education & #healthcare excluded) is that bad.
I think it's the greed & arrogance that bring the fall of all
@Impish4249 @paul @QasimRashid I’ve said often that Capitalism can only work if it is muzzled, that it’s excesses are capped, that the excess ‘profits’ are plowed back into society for health and stability. With the New Deal, the guard rails only held briefly, sliding backwards ever since.
The problem, we are selfish, not like minded, we take from others for personal advantage, easily corrupted and will allow Capitalism’s excesses to destroy us.
@Huntn00 @Impish4249 @paul @QasimRashid
"Capitalism can only work if it is muzzled?" Work at what? If by "muzzled capitalism" you're referring to regulated capitalism, capitalism under regulations would still exploit workers, so it wouldn't work for them, that is, if the elimination of exploitation of the working class is the goal.
