Can you please keep the appeal court case that was approved Friday allowing the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau to be dismantled in your reporting? This is going to be out shadowed by the other big news of the day, but it is a horrible loss for the nation.
Thank you for your patient advocacy. I worked as an RN my entire career and was appalled by insurance bullies towards patients and myself. I saw your video and know you rock!
I was in France last year and a French friend of mine was diagnosed with breast cancer. I was amazed at how well she was taken care of. In France, once you get a cancer diagnosis you do not pay anything more toward your healthcare, it's free from your cancer diagnosis until you're cured. Besides getting excellent medical care they assigned my friend a therapist and a physical therapist to help her get through radiation. Also she was given free taxi transportation to and from her appointments. It's so humane. We are a wealthy country and its insulting what we have to put up with in our system. I was thinking if you add up all the people on medicare and all the people on medicaid thats somewhere in the neighborhood of 160 million people I think. Right there we have structure for a universal system of some sort. I am no expert but it defies logic what we have to go through to stay healthy in this country and I am very encouraged we are starting to hear from doctors. Thank you!
Our Malady by Timothy Snyder is an easy read and talks about exactly this since he has lived in a couple different countries and experienced healthcare personally in both.
American women need to get ready because it’s coming A national abortion ban will be on the floors of Congress within the next year unless the Nazis get skitterish because of the 2026 midterms
The Nazi regime would be happy to push this onerous Project 2025 agenda item but they’re testing this at local red state’s level In this vein Oklahoma becomes a testing ground for how the Nazis will be pushing doctors around in getting their agenda implemented
This is soooo abusive and delegitimizing to physicians specifically OB Gyn’s who by physician’s oath must take care of Medicaid patients By creating an anti-abortion loyalty oath the Nazis are pushing doctors into a corner essentially saying to physicians that we will cut the financial legs out from underneath you unless you play ball
Since OB Gyn’s are now mostly employed by corporations that run hospitals, this comes down to the decision of medical corporate America to stand up to this Nazi ploy Of course the corporations will listen to the physicians who work for them but ultimately it will be a corporate decision Will they capitulate like the legal community or will medical corporations stand for what is right for patients? Time will tell
Yes đŸ™Œ I just remember how Republicans use to say we can’t have socialized medicine like Canada because they have death camps. I only see one group making death camps and it’s not the Canadians …wonder who that can be? Insurance has to go and Medicare for all. This current system isn’t working especially when billionaires in govt are at play
Thank you so much for a very interesting, informative and important video. I've been retired for quite some time but before that worked for many years in the employee benefits arena, and saw a lot about the employer-provided health insurance arena, with emphasis on large companies. I gained a good reputation and trust among clients and insurance companies because I've always been very honest and never hesitated to fight for what's right. Through the years I saw things become more commercial and less honest and helpful so can identify with your experiences. Direct contracting is just what Kaiser did long ago, and it's been very successful, with many good doctors (like in Southern Orange County, CA) leaving prestigious hospitals and medical groups for the growing Kaiser network. United Healthcare, on the other hand, "grew" by buying what had once been smaller, good networks. And it's even worse for personal coverage when there's no employer, etc. to help. Even the ACA/had-has its issues with individual financial requirements allowing wealthy people to obtain coverage at big discounts.
Ok, the way I see it, and you see it too, is change. Really what do we have to loose. Start fresh. Assholes have taken us down a road I don’t want to go down. So the best for all of us is equally… go for it. Make our health system work for by all Americans. Go forward. It’s a start.
UCSF accepted Medicare and USAA for my ovarian cancer -- I was lucky. This is not right for anyone to have to pay for being able to beat cancer? This is evil!
I was so lucky to have lived basically an illness free life. I was 1 year into retirement when the cancer diagnosis came and had fortunately been advised by a good friend to get regular Medicare A/B, along with a supplemental plan, rather than the hideous Medicare Advantage plans. I am thankful every day when I think what would have happened to me had I still been on an employer's corporate 'healthcare' plan when the stuff hit the fan. In one year I had major surgery, cyberknife radiation for a brain metastasis, chemo, and then immunotherapy for a year and paid almost nothing out of pocket (& have fantastic doctors!). Being on Medicare before I got the big illness literally saved my life. Four years later I am still well, still receiving good care, hiking 10 miles a week, and NOT bankrupt!

Oklahoma Demands Doctors Sign Anti-Abortion Loyalty Oath to Keep Medicaid Funding

Get insurance companies out of the middle!! Universal health care is the only way to go!!

Putin doesn’t just want Kiev, that fucking menace wants Europe, too. For starters. And seriously, why tf hasn’t he been arrested yet?
Soon millions of Americans will lose their healthcare and will be interested in new alternative forms of healthcare.

Yay, Finley they are doing something about how the Insurance companies are harming people.
