He’s working on it while trying to convince people it should still be privatized & we should revoke the ACA because companies are “gaming the system”. What does Mark Cuban sound like? Another con man businessman trying to make money in the broken US system which he can only make $ if it stays broken

Healthcare is politics. Human lives are at stake with policies. Private gain is always about the money. Any RN in this country can show you the horrific US capitalist system that has caused many to die unnecessary deaths for capital gains. Mark, sounds like you’ve been bought out and sold.

“Insured people” is where the problem begins. Human lives shouldn’t need insurance. It sounds like we are trying to confuse people with numbers & metrics as opposed to normalizing the expenditure as an ethical priority that all countries need for basic human rights. Tax the rich? Funds found.

The ACA was a stepping stone meant for the next leader to take bold action into providing Universal Healthcare. Where is that leader? No where to be found. Instead we attack the ACA & provide no healthcare solutions as a replacement so that the same people gaming the system can get more rich. C’mon.

Insurers & billionaire businesses will always find a way to cheat the system (legally). The problem isn’t the ACA, it’s that we have an entire enterprise profiting off the backs of the poor & the sick. Then we have 0 rich allies championing what the people really need, Universal Healthcare. Simple.

You said it perfectly. Trump is a con man that will lie about the worth of a $1 & Dems are undervaluing everything society truly cares about so they can keep the other half of that dollar bill. Where’s government for the people by the people? Gov isn’t a business. Humanity > consumerism. Priorities

You mean citizens of this country who battle illness everyday of their lives? Sorry, who’s your target audience then?

Y’know who else has economic hardship? Every person in this country who ever has to go to the doctor and makes less than $50k + every individual with chronic illness or any major accident. What happens when people lose their job? They find another. It’s about repositioning them in the right place

Small business owners are being eradicated under the status quo/inequitable wealth distribution. Knowing this, entrepreneurs want to have ethical businesses that pay our staff a livable wage while providing coverage. The problem? Big Corp scare tactics on tax systems, increased wages, etc. bc profit

Nonprofits don’t do anything. Trust.

Tell ‘em Mrs. Zemla. What we really need are actual ethical business people willing to sacrifice profit for the greater good of humanity. Billionaires spend millions on propaganda, but when the poor lack allies at the top our reach dwindles. How else do we think the world became so polarized?

Nah. You’re sketch.

Hmm. Maybe eradicate instead. Cap salaries, cap costs. And reposition employees within insurance agencies into other fields.

Yes we know UH will work. And the solution is quite simple, minimize capital gains in the healthcare field. RNs were military personnel before capitalism turned them into hotel cleaners. RNs see patients die everyday due to profiteering. Flip the structure. Enforce RN-to-patient ratios. Humanity 1st

Yes. That too. They want to ban TikTok bc of its “algorithm”. Reds want it to be the popular Meta algorithm that perpetuates disinformation at every turn & propaganda. As they said on Fox News “Americans will have access to propaganda, but also other things. It’s free will to consume what we want”

This is based on a system dependent on consumerism. Socialism does not depend on consumerism because it is a decentralized form of government that puts humans before money. But no one is saying it has to be either or, except we are saying that we have an oligarchy and that the rich have socialism

Did someone read the union busters manual? Why do we think monopolies have so much power? What gives them that power? Now let’s say that power was transferred away from the CEO and to the employees, what would happen? If the CEO doesn’t show up to work, what happens? And if the entire staff dont?

Ay, ay. It’s easy to uplift capitalism when we ignore the exploitation of entire continents, humans, the destruction of the planet, its ecosystem, and its historical failures to provide basic public resources because they’ve been privatized for capital gain/profiteering to benefit a business owner.

In my little poor town he makes half a million before his nearly quarter million bonus at the end of the year. And his salary is based on averages of CEO salaries in the country for hospitals. Average salary in my area? Less than 50k

Also meaningless when it’s made as a bandaid solution to keep problems going as opposed to solving them bc otherwise, they’d all lose their jobs. Ultimately eradicating the reasons for becoming a nonprofit. Cause shouldn’t it be about resolutions? Systemic resolutions? Reparations? Liberty? Justice?

This is when TikTok unleashed “Project Texas” an attempt to have the business run under Oracle in ATX by Americans for Americans. But ultimately what’s happening? Scare tactics so mainstream social media can be owned by one business bringing a major “IPO” and stock opportunity. Monopoly, we American

Damn. Instead it’s just “will I make my rent this month?” What happened to my paycheck? Just got it the other day, but damn I got a housing crisis. People telling me how to budget. Like they don’t pay 3x more, but how much am I supposed to earn? Baffled. Cause every week I just make 3 figures. #rant

We already have people dependent on GoFundMe to access care. We also have systems in place that already cover healthcare for a select few with our taxes. Why pay twice for the same item? That’s illogical. Just expand the service to all and get rid of exclusions. That’s what lowers costs for all.

I’ve worked for nonprofits the majority of my career. It still is about making the ED pretty wealthy at the expense of employees. I’ve been fired twice for advocating for my own healthcare + the healthcare of employees within healthcare centered organizations. It’s corrupt unless owned by the public

Exactly. Treating healthcare like a business is commodifying human lives. A business wants profit, so what happens? Corners get cut and quality of care goes down. No one should be financially buried for having a chronic illness, medical accident, etc.

Scrap insurers. Create equitable progressive tax systems for universal care. This gets rid of the small entrepreneurs worries of not having care & also not being able to provide healthcare to staff. Why dependent on a CEO for healthcare when they can’t even pay a living wage?

I appreciate the math & economics but the simple truth is that a fully privatized healthcare system is an enterprise and not a public service. Universal care works well. A unified system has more gains than everyone trying to bargain prices separately. Even businesses know that. Hence monopolies
