So long as our healthcare system is for-profit, only those who have the money to afford it will have the privilege of having it.

I can’t emphasize it enough: Healthcare prices are fake. Never, ever pay the first bill in full. Make a good-faith effort and call the provider to get on the record a request for a reduced bill. This was for an urgent care visit while I was uninsured: from $420 to $102. pic.twitter.com/5QgG7M0sFe

Literally, when it started being reported in the earlier days of the pandemic that Black people were the hardest hit, that was the exact point I knew it was a wrap on it being taken seriously.

And probably like a week later, at most, the unmasking protests started popping up. 🙃 https://t.co/orcEyEft7i

64% of Americans disapprove of Roe v Wade being overturned, and it shows:

Abortion rights have won in every election since the decision — in states both red and blue.

The far-right SCOTUS can do its best to erode abortion rights.

But the people are going to fight it like hell.

No. They won’t. Their cruelty & need for control don’t HAVE limits. Get it through your heads.

This is the result of us being the only developed nation with a for-profit health system. This is why I support universal healthcare & hope you will too.

We found the greediest non-profit hospital in the country: UPMC in Pittsburgh.

Executives there raked in $225 million in one year alone, while putting patients and even their own employees into medical debt.

Their scheme is all funded by your tax dollars—and they’re not alone. pic.twitter.com/rgPtQR092I
