For profit healthcare should be abolished. Healthcare is a human right. Insurance companies have been allowed to determine who lives, who dies, who suffers and who goes bankrupt for far too long. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/health/texas-copd-suicide-insurance-delays-medication-b3060531.html #uspol #healthcare #medicare #disability #ableism #chronicillness

USA friends over 65: I just got a letter saying that my Medicare Part D prescription plan is being discontinued at the end of the year, and I will need to enroll in a different one. I'm looking for recommendations for what I might switch to. #Medicare #PrescriptionInsurancePlans

“Richard Marles says #Australian authorities have made their displeasure about the time it took for #OpenAI to notify the government of the #Medicare breach known, including in a one-on-one meeting between Anthony Albanese and #SamAltman in New York last night.” There is a USA Trade war on “socialised medicinal care”, so is this a grey-hack under cover of a so-called mistake? #Intel / #CyberSecurity / #espionage

In my rural state of #Vermont, and I presume others, all the #hospitals have ceased to operate birthing centers and #OBGYN clinics due to the Big Beautiful Budget elimination of #Medicaid and imminent scrapping, at this years' end after midterm elections, to the #Medicare reimbursements upon which hospitals have also been made to rely. Meanwhile the Private #Insurance (reimbursement-collection & service-denial) Industry has been greenlighted to raise premiums out of reach for a third to half of households while remaining nonresponsible for any such coverage. People are opting not to seek care. Probably all coincidental. #healthcare #medicalNews #healthNews #financialNews #redistribution #plutocracy #plunder #healthcareIsAHumanRight #nvma Ectopic Pregnancy Deaths Have Nearly Doubled.

Trump-shaped ecstasy pills can be fatal, Dutch drug institute warns - I’d 🤣 but…turns out it’s not just pills. #TrumpRegime policies can be and often ARE fatal. Think #ICE murders of citizens, #DOGE cuts that have killed thousands, #SNAP reductions, and of course, the #HHS public health policies of brainwork #RFKjr. FFS, kids are dying of measles, after it was once eliminated. Next, the #repubilcans are going to go after #Medicare and #SocialSecurity. Cruelty IS the point with #Trump.

"I Received a Cease and Desist" Most people fold when they get these because they know they don't have the money to fight a corporation's lawyer. So corp lawyers depend on these to bully people into things they'd never win in court and they know it. May this Streisand Effect them to hell. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ha7Tehhasjg #Maine #USpol #Healthcare #Medicare

On July 30, 1965 President Lyndon B. Johnson made Medicare and Medicaid law by signing H.R. 6675 in Independence, Missouri. Former President Truman was issued the very first Medicare card during the ceremony. #Medicare #Medicaid

The first presidential candidate to include a proposal for #UniversalHealthcare was #TheodoreRoosevelt in 1912, but the first tentative, partial step toward it was taken by #LyndonBJohnson on #ThisDayInHistory in 1965 with the addition of #Medicare & #Medicaid to #SocialSecurity.

“ #Trump admin is planning to scrap US #Medicare subsidies, which could leave seniors facing higher rates for their prescription coverage next year. After 2026, the government will stop providing billions in subsidies to insurance companies that keep premiums low for Medicare prescription plans.”

"Sen. Andy Kim on Tuesday unveiled a proposal for all American children to receive Medicare, a program he’s dubbed MediKids, saying Democrats must bring new ideas to move the conversation on healthcare forward. Kim’s MediKids Act would automatically enroll every child into the program at birth, provide continued eligibility until the age of 26 and cover 100% of the federal medical assistance percentage for this cohort." https://thehill.com/homenews/5980026-sen-andy-kim-medikids-proposal/ #healthcare #medicare #ChildrensHealth #USpol
