An entire industry built on taking money they didn't earn to deny the care our doctors prescribe for us... Are we stupid??
I mean, the electorate keeps voting for people who won't pass health care reform so.. Yes?
worse, we vote for healthcare reforms that would take us back to when no one poor got any care at all. we elected our own killers
Those people are the only options on the ballot though. We can't vote for something that's not an option
The fuck are you talking about? First of all, primaries exist. Secondly, with only a few notable exceptions, Democrats favor single-payer. The original ACA was a government healthcare bill with a private option but Joe Lieberman was the holdout and gutted it. Stating otherwise is intellectually dishonest and deliberately ignorant, or at worst a malicious rewrite of history.
In the last primary who was calling for a switch to a single payer healthcare system? None of the candidates were talking about that.
Joe Liberman left office in 2013. That was 11 years ago.
What the fuck are you talking about about?

Not only that , but voting for the people who are promising to make it even worse.
Propaganda told them to.
Are we stupid??
Yup.
It's not stupidity, because over 99% of us didn't have a choice. It's greed. Greedy little piggy leaders of major systems designed to fuck over everyone but them.

Good. Burn it all down and replace it with universal healthcare.
Like every other modern country! They all get better care for less money!!!
No, you see, America is bigger so it won't work for some reason
Just ignore economies of scales you little working class peasants. That doesn't work here.
It's because they have more people per capita, duh.
Awfully optimistic of you to expect that it'll be replaced by anything better.
If I don't have even a shred of optimism my mental health would be x10 worse. I need it, swiper no swiping. 🙃

Burn the industry to the ground.
Is it 0? No?
Have a ways to go then.
Same goes for number of biz execs/CEOs.
What shit timing for this... Imagine if this happened like a year ago. Maybe Democrats could have actually had a reason to be pushed to talk about this... Seeing how even Magoos were happy the guy got killed maybe things could have been different.
We live in the stupid timeline though so somehow this will just get worse :/
1/3+ of the party wanted Bernie. Twice. And they couldn't be arsed to talk about it, his primary policy position. They're still not taking about it. Too much donor money involved for them to give a shit what their voters say.
Had a reason? They already had a reason. They had thousands of reasons. Thousands of Americans dying due to the shit industry. Is that not a reason enough for Democrats?
They always had the excuse of "people love their healthcare!" That's the line that was always trotted out. It would be pretty difficult to keep that line when we're literally executing healthcare CEOs and having a positive nationwide reaction to it.
If journalists would actually do their proper duty for the population and not their masters (lmao) they'd start pushing representatives on the topic as it relates to the response.
(Instead though we get articles like "Bad luck Brian was the working class hero, not Luigi" from the NYT. 🤮)
Bernie's Medicare For All plan has been out there close to a decade now and I would argue that proposal is a huge part of his popularity. Democrats knew that and they told him, and by extension his supporters, to go fuck themselves. They know people want this but they don't care.
Good. Shareholding and profiteering off healthcare should not be a thing. It should be a government service not a business, although I'd bet a million dollars I don't have, that it won't happen under Trump. And if it ever does happen, they had better fucking plan it to be rock-solid against ruthless cutthroat cheating grifters like him.
Health food shelter clothing.
All of these things should be provided to everyone in every country, paid for by taxes.
Just eliminate the struggle of the common person from these 4 things is a goal worth being a prime prime directive
Portip: short stock. Pump bullets into CEOs. Profit from dump.
That's an actual series of missions in GTAV

I'm not entirely sure why the stocks are falling. Does anybody think they're going to tidy up their profit margins? They're going to walk around in armored limousines with security details. And the new administration is going to make absolutely certain they can still bulldoze their way through.
One of them already walked back a "we will limit the amount of anaethestic you're allowed in surgical procedures" they'd announced.
The market sees that the CEOs fear for their lives and want to make it sound like they care rather than deny care, so profits will fall, because paying for healthcare is a lot more expensive than paying a call centre worker to say no.
Hence the industry as a whole is less profitable, because, you know, what with death being so unpopular suddenly these days amongst healthcare CEOs.

For once, we have a good news.

Sounds like tHe mARkEt thinks something will gut the industry. But there is no indication of actual real change happening. So what's going on?
The rich are experiencing fear and reacting emotionally.
Most of these ghouls only care about money, so maybe this will help
