WATCH: “They asked me if I wanted my medication or if I wanted my TODAY show interview to run.”
United Health denied his life-saving medication until it was about to become a national story. A cruel, broken for-profit system. 🇺🇸 #MedicareForAll

I thought it was an act of Dark Comedy.
The Hippocratic oath is silent on profit motives....
It's like paying protection money to people that will NOT protect you!
This needs to change.
I'm mother of 3 albinism children
from Gaza Palestine 🇵🇸
My children have been struggling with Visual Impairments since birth and my sons want medical care

If his mom left behind assets, then her estate would have to pay debts.
If you're trying to point out that debt collectors behave in illegal/unethical ways, then say that.
They've dumped Cigna for...?
Yep. United Healthcare.
Oh lucky me.

I just had my 27th surgery ☹️ but I am rocking this boot 😃
making 1 company pay the price, while if you look at ALL the other insurances, you see they all have weird rules.
We need to take out the roots while we r at it! The 1%!
But we r busy fighting each other (blue vs red) while we have a 3rd player in our game. We must unite red and blue to first overcome this problem (foundation) before we can go apart again and build on top of it. but i doubt we want to go apart or need to after.
Every goper district, point out what protections/earned benefits local goper rep stripped from bill and how Dems had to pass bill or benefits/gov employees would disappear.
and don’t go on msnbc/cnn/etc and ‘did that!’
All the ads seem to be about 'Ask your doctor if 'BunchaBull' is right for you.' And Americans keep buying 'BunchaBull'.
Republicans cut spending on EDUCATION.
Now, the only ones winning are the big corporations.
Shame!
Withholding medication to achieve a political concession seems like doing bodily harm with a terrorism enhancement.
Yeah, tell us who the criminal/s are for killing people.
It’s like … just pay for preventative and early testing, it is cheaper in the long run.
Enraging isn’t a strong enough word for it - especially when you learn why UHC finally gave in.
Profits and Optics Over People 🤬
Private health insurance companies should not be legal.

Same goes for pensions.
Make them buy their own on the open market out of their own pocket, then watch things change.
No bonus for you😅😂🤣😂😅
Most governments know that keeping the populace healthy means they are more productive.
It would probably be Much higher in America because salaries are higher
nurse in Uk = $45,000 nurse in USA = $75,000
family Doctor (GP) in UK = $170,000 while in USA = $316,000
So national tax would be around 30% in US
I agree we do pay the most; but those working in the Healthcare system get paid the most.
There are still 25 million without health insurance, so they are saving a ton of money already (unless they get sick).
600k families go bankrupt due to medical costs each year because they aren't getting the coverage they pay for.
My late partner was a family Doctor, worked her butt of, on call 24/7 also did Moonlight in the ER. Her solution was to allow people to "buy into" Medicare or Medicaid or go private..
She also "persuaded" me to eat better and exercise.
To prioritize profits because of lobbyists and political contributions is sick and a great evil.
SAVE UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE!
