The $10,000 Deductible and the Myth of ‘Affordable’ Care How disappearing ACA subsidies, soaring premiums, and bureaucratic chaos nearly left a consultant with multiple sclerosis uninsured.

"The business of health care is not broken; it is working exactly how it was intended. It was designed for people to pay in just in case something happens, then not to pay out when it does." We need a redesign - patients over profits! #MedicareForAll

For a lot of people, that can be a really dangerous question, an equation. Like, how sick do I have to get to go pay that $500 deductible? - Hilary Hodge, American expat who moved to France because of the price of healthcare.

How Much Longer Will Americans Wait for Real Health Reform? From the Clinton-era collapse to Obamacare’s limits and new Medicaid rollbacks, corporate power continues to stall a national health system that puts patients first.

"How much longer will Americans put up with the denials for care and the gigantic bills they will pay if indeed they actually get the care they need?"

"To be a Black woman in America is to have an adverse experience at the doctor's office...constantly feeling dismissed, misunderstood, gaslit, downplayed and straight up lied to." -Christina Brown, content creator from NYC

When it comes to health coverage, we should really pay attention to what works.

There’s no good reason for millions of people in the U.S. to be uninsured or underinsured.

It’s time to abandon private health insurance | Letter We know from experience — with Medicare — that the government can administer health insurance better than commercial insurers.

HEADLINES: GOP War on Health Care Drives ‘Drastic Drop’ in Health Coverage for Working Families — Protect Our Care New data illustrates what working families from Maine to Texas have been feeling since the Trump-GOP health care premium hikes hit on January 1: health care isn’t just more expensive...

1.4 million people have dropped health insurance.

How many more have to risk their lives for our lawmakers to finally scrounge up the moral and political will to fix our broken healthcare system?

YOUR DOCTOR SPENT 12 YEARS IN SCHOOL TO HELP YOU. YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY SPENT 12 SECONDS FINDING A REASON TO DENY YOUR CLAIM. AND SOMEHOW THE INSURANCE COMPANY GETS TO DECIDE IF YOU GET TREATMENT. THE SYSTEM IS BACKWARDS.
