Blue Cross and Blue Shield denied payment for the proton therapy Robert “Skeeter” Salim’s doctor ordered to fight his throat cancer. But he was no ordinary patient. He was a celebrated litigator. And he was ready to fight.
B-b-but who will pay for it if we have a single payer public healthcare?!?!?!
Meanwhile it costs more money to prop up these private “insurance” scammers than it would to fund Medicare for all. The only goddamn country out of all others of similar standing just somehow can’t figure it out!
And who fights this shit? Republicans. Who wastes the most money, racking up trillions and trillions of extra debt to throw on the pile? Republicans.
They are the part of fiscal responsibility for billionaires. The rest of you literally can fucking die and they will smile. More money and resources for them.
Republicans are the one reason I can’t really get behind single payer. Because when they’re in charge nobody will get paid and nobody will get healthcare.
Let’s just be a lot more careful than the Fucking Founding Fathers were, or FDR, or Obama, to carve in safeguards against plundering and manipulation by evil-minded fascists. At the very least, lock in automatic funding that adapts to the cost of living index. And lock out privatization that doesn’t come with financial contributions to the public system.
$120k to show US health insurance literally kills people for profit and it won’t actually change a damn thing how they do business.

The death panels were already here.
It’s all about protecting the profits of the corporation, so, it’s more like a death board of directors.
