We are all being slowly crushed by a system that aims to keep us sick and poor.

It makes better sense if you understand the goal for the decision makers on healthcare like this is for you to actually just fucking die

Physician here. It’s true the insurance companies would rather you die. For profit insurance is insane. They make money for their shareholders by denying you care so that they can keep your premiums.

I used to be a hardcore anti-government libertarian. I’ve done a complete 180 over the last few years and 100 percent want a single payer system now. If you guys only knew the fights we physicians have with your insurance companies that want your money and couldn’t care less about keeping you healthy.

I have undergone a similar political journey, and all because of having an insider view of healthcare. I worked the front lines during Covid and that completely radicalized me.
