When they talk about privatizing Veterans’ care and Medicare, they mean allowing companies to provide healthcare for a profit.
But how do companies make those profits? By *denying* care to many who need it.
Don’t get fooled by the “privatization” label. It means “for profit” and YOU are the cost.

But I will say the sunset from the pier was nice.
From Schools and Prisons to the VA and beyond, 'privatization' means 'for profit'; and that means inflated costs, lower payrolls, less dedication, reduced quality and minimal effectiveness.
It also means dumber kids, smarter criminals and thousands of unnecessarily unhealed or dead Americans.
My insurance said they wouldn't cover the stay because it wasn't a medical emergency.
The privatization of Medicare would be 100xs worse; systematic annihilation of elderly & disabled.
Somehow he has decided to ignore JFK’s speech, “Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.”
Thank You, George
They are private insurance hmo plans. They are tricking seniors into thinking it Medicare. Project 2025 has all seniors turning 65 enroll into Medicare advantage plans by default. This will privatize Medicare unless people wake up.
Imagine the dividends paid out...
Free market NEVER WORKS IN HEALTHCARE.
NEVER.
Why? Because people can’t compare quality and price. And when supply goes up, “demand” goes up because people can’t judge if Rx is “needed” or not. Look at the knee replacements in Vermont (or NH?) data.
God help you if you ever need to go out of network to see a specialist or require in home nursing care. Ka-ching, ka-ching.

Pull from the vine only as much as needed.
Don't allow sociopaths and psychopaths to dictate society's rules.
Right now: ridiculously bad—no contact lenses (even with a letter of med necessity), no specialists, & I'm lucky I can even get operated on before the end of December.
It’s been Great.
We only pay out about $300.00 per month and our deductible is 240.00 per year for each of us.
Disqualify trump.
It’s private insurance and their goal is profit not your health.
That’s what Republicans want to force on Americans.
It only takes a few minutes and best of all..doesn't cost any money.
We don't need money in politics. We just need people to participate.

I thought i had to follow everybody to read their stuff but I was wrong. I get like 10-20 of those in my email every day and I try to read them all.
Thanks for your input!
Trying to figure out who was paying for what.
Vets received huge bills for an ambulance and on and on.
Not all doctors or hospitals are honest.
Put fraudsters, Snake Scott, in jail.
It's public BECAUSE not everything generates wealth. That doesn't mean they aren't essential.

Americans were trained to hate socialism. Sadly, all these ideas that make live in Europe objectively better than live in the USA... are socialist ideas.
If Americans ever find out how bad their livelihood is compared to Europe... We gotta make ready for them to want to come here
Their performative patriotism makes them unable to grasp that truth.
If anything, someone will comment under this: „NOOO! AMERICA GREAT! YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE WATER IN EUROPE!“
Which is good. Cause then they never learn and we keep on living on their cost. 😅

Mandate that the only place members of Congress, their families, Congressional staff, and the President can get medical care is at VA Hospitals.
Don’t get rid of the VA. Fix the VA.
I paid it through general taxation. So visits to hospital, and doctors were included in that money.
Since I turned 65, all my prescriptions, including my annual flu jab are free.
Just basic state-run insurance.
An IT dept I was in with 4 employees was replaced with IBM. Response time went from 1 hour to 2 weeks and cost ~ 1 million more. Our ex-clients *hated* it.

Right now they offer a few cheap perks to lure in the ignorant. Then they “manage” care by delaying and denying, their usual shit.
Write this at big capital letters at every wall.
As a former Social Security employee: all applicants must provide proof of citizenship or residency before getting any benefits payments!
And all proofs submitted are verified too!
