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

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

This Yale study is incredibly important. “Medicare for All Who Want It” costs $600 billion more than #MedicareForAll. It also doesn’t cover everyone or ensure comprehensive care.

It’s time to choose: ensure healthcare for everyone or protect profits-over-patients status quo? https://t.co/0ICFEUCcaC

An anti-Obamacare guy tries to explain “third-world health care” and accidentally describes America.

Nonsan Community Village‘s insight:

If you don’t have your health, aren’t you unequal?

Not providing universal health care is – unequal.
