[4/5] Despite efforts to increase transparency in medical billing, our bills are as opaque as ever. It's not only costing us personally, but it also creates a system that rewards price gouging, and is a primary reason why healthcare costs are spiraling out of control.
[3/5] One factor driving the outrageous cost of medical care in this country is how hospitals and insurance companies conspire to create a black box around medical billing. Ever try to decipher a hospital bill? "Good luck!"
[2/5] But what we get in return is a mixed bag. Excellent care in some areas, but overpriced and low-quality care in many others.
[1/5] Lack of transparency in medical billing is making healthcare unaffordable.
Making amusing videos about complicated subjects is fun, but out-of-control health care costs are no joke. No country spends more money on healthcare than the United States.
When you don't know your options, you're left without any at all.
It's time we fight back against corporate medical price gouging.

[3/3] This is not business as usual, but the old playbook won't work. And Democratic leaders and health care professionals need to stop acting like it is. RFK must go, and he must go now, before anyone else gets hurt.

[2/3] ...and each day he continues as Secretary of HHS, he disgraces the institution he oversees with his pseudoscience and misinformation.
[1/3] The CDC's purpose is to guard the public health of this nation, but Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is doing everything he can to undermine that mission.
RFK is a walking and talking threat to the health of every American...
The way we offer healthcare in America is a sign of a broken system. It's time we fix it.

On July 30th, 1965, President. Lyndon Johnson signed the “Social Security Amendments of 1965,” establishing a national health insurance plan for older Americans.
With the right leadership, we can do something big again, just like we did 60 years ago today. Read my full thoughts here:
