No insurance company should be allowed to overrule a doctors recommendation. If someone has paid-in and a doctor has signed off on it, they should pay, by law, in full. Anything less than that, is practising medicine without a license and needs to be prosecuted as such.

For profit health insurance and pharmaceutical companies are the definition of domestic terrorists! You could add the fossil fuel companies to that as well. Those companies jeopardize citizens' lives and safety on the daily!
As a pharmacist working for these companies, I can tell you we are abused to the point that it is hard to express in words. The amount of pressure on us is severe. They don't care about patients; they care about numbers-the number of scripts that are filled daily, the number of vaccines that patients receive. There are quotas that need to be met, as high as hundreds in a short amount of time, with multiple things that need to be done at once, which significantly decreases patient safety. They don't care about patients or pharmacists that work for them. We are extremely overworked and burned out.

Unfortunately, for Luigi and our country, he has landed himself in another institution of our society with a history of failing to provide justice, but fulfilling the mandated 'appearance of justice', as laid forth in the foundational constitutional contract. The lower courts are not Article III, and are not judicial but work in admiralty/administrative legislated authority. Subjecting the general public to statute is against the original intent and meanings of used words...It is treason, everything they do. They try to make it 'compelling' to rebut and defend our rights, but only criminals can be subject to involuntary servitude (and compelled performance is the same thing) according to the 13th amendment.

Out of ignorance, most people I've asked misidentify and think they are citizens...when they would properly be calling themselves civilians. Driving...is a commercial word when the courts use it, meaning you are carrying passengers or cargo for hire. Passengers are people who pay for the ride.

My other pharmacist asked me how John was doing last shift. I said “Fine why, is he sick?” … “Oh… John passed away Thursday night.” I was counting pills when I heard the news and I could no longer see what I was doing through my tears. Everyday afterwards, I could not stop thinking about John. He was a father to 7 (most adopted), married to another pharmacist, and in his late 50s. He used to joke about how the shredder reminded him of the chuckee cheese ticket machine… I begged my (chain) retail pharmacy to provide me with mental health services because I was struggling. How could I not picture him everyday in the same place we used to work together? How could I forget the joy he brought to the pharmacy when it had become bleak without him? After he sent me home, apparently he stayed 3-4 extra hours. When I left, we still had 500 scripts left in the queue… it was only him and I. I thought he would go home after me… I guess after he got home, he either died from a heart attack when he got there or in his sleep (knowing this would not have changed anything, and it would have just made me more angry regardless), but I do know I was the last person to see him alive because his family was sleeping. I do not know if he filled all the scripts in the queue, but I can only imagine if he was there that long he did. And what was it all for? And it weighed on me. And it still weighs on me. I begged them for help multiple times and they refused to provide me with mental health services… I was traumatized. I am traumatized. But after that, I quit my 4 year Registered Pharmacy Technician career, and I don’t believe in 2 weeks. When I’m done, I’m done, and you do NOT deserve the courtesy of knowing when. Because I have always been the most reliable, efficient and thoughtful employee at every job, so when I leave, THEY FEEL IT.

I learned this. Drugs in Canada have capped prices agreed with by the pharmacuetical companies. a drug sells for $60 in Canada, sells for $650 in the USA, both made in the USA, one is sold in Canada, the other in USA, they have a 5 year patent. When the patent expires in Canada, the drug gets a generic certification, remains on the market as a generic drug that must be sold for much less, $10.00, however in the USA that same drug that sells for $650, when the patent expires, the drug company pulls it from the market in the USA and replaced with a new patented drug that sells for much more. $780.00. Same drug sells in Canada for $60 as well. WTF. this is criminal.
It's not just limited to Canada either, the rest of the world fights for lower prices for their people. Only in the US, do drug company have so much influence to keep the politicians on both sides in their pocket and to kick out those who don't get corrupted.
the UHC denied my young daughter treatment at Johns Hopkins when she became blind with the first symptom of MS. So she could not avoid....now blind. UHC pay up.
I became unnecessarily further disabled from MS because of Anthem's delay of my initial treatments. I hate these jerks and feel no sympathy for their little plights...Ooh, and I just got off the phone with the pharmaceutical company Biogen, trying to get help with my *$100,000 plus* (every six weeks) MS infusion. *_F them!_*

This should be brought up in Luigi’s court case by his lawyers! How many lives has Luigi saved indirectly because of his justifiable actions? How many lives have been lost because of Brian Thompson’s direct involvement with United Healthcare? I would love to see a fair trial where the jury gets to decide after all evidence is put on the table.
@@grandfrosty Thank you. I'm not an attorney. I do not know procedure; I do not know rules of evidence or motions or even how to address the damn court and I never studied juries. I am not one to say what kind of evidence should be introduced. I do know Luigi's head lawyer is very well qualified and comes with a stacked resume. She knows more about this than the lay person trying to pound a point on youtube, which is fine. Thank you for the bible passages, I do not think this is the time or place for this. As we know, every side will use the bible as their own weapon. One verse, five opinions.
I had a cancer operation in 2023. It was large and left a very large wound. After the operation I was given a change of dressing and sent home with instructions to take care of it myself, no homecare or wound-vac. The wound was on my lower back upper buttock so me taking care of it was impossible without causing damage, the wound was 7"W x 6"L x 3"D. I went to my surgeon's office two days later to ask if his nurse could change the dressing. The nurse looked at the wound and asked me "where is the wound-vac?" I didn't know what that was so she explained it to me, I told her I didn't get one, she setup homecare. The first visit from the home care nurse she asked me the same question "where is the wound-vac" I told her I didn't get one, she changed the dressing and took a picture of the wound. Two days later her next visit didn't go well, the dressing stuck to the wound, and I ended up passing out from the pain, the nurse called an ambulance, 7 days after the operation I went to the ER with an infection and a 109-temperature that caused brain damage all because I didn't get the wound-vac. I was in the hospital for 3 days before they gave me the equipment which caused me enough pain, I passed out again when it was installed. I spent a total of 10 days in the hospital because I wasn't given the wound-vac to keep me out of the hospital, if they had given me the equipment the hospital was only going to get money for the operation and one day a week for wound care, instead they got 10 days of money for drugs, doctors, nurses and room charges on top of the operation and wound care visits. Every nurse and doctor that saw the picture and heard the story said I should get a lawyer. When I was able to do it, I only had 6 months before the statute of limitations hit. I spoke with over 20 lawyers, none would take the case because I couldn't pay. One even told me to just bring to small claims court. I'm still recovering 18 months after the operation, no work and no benefits, my food stamps were taken away because a friend paid my rent a couple months and I reported it to the government, they took them away because he gave me money. I have extreme PTSD because of this whole thing and I'm finding it very hard to continue. I created a gofundme page with the picture taken by the homecare nurse. gofund.me/a481ec70 Justice for me and everyone who has the same horror story will happen when it is seen like this. I've reached out to others regarding my story with no replies, I don't want your money, I want your exposure to help spread it.
I just looked at your GoFundMe page and donated. I am horrified at the wound you were sent home with. Anyone who thinks we have the best Medical Care/Health Care in the world is an idiot.
The right to CONTRACT is the supreme law of the land. It supersedes the constitution, and the corporations have think tanks of lawyers figure out loop-holes to rob the system. Corruption from the top-down. The fight is always an uphill battle, a up-stream struggle. The water is poisoned. The words are archaic and cryptic. Psalm 118:8, Psalm 146:3, Jeremiah 17:5, Isaiah 2:22. The choice, of course, is always up to you.
Big pharma are one of the true PRIVATE, SHAREHOLDERS who truly runs the world. Be happy with what you got because THE OWNERS of this country don't want that.
Yup. Firefighting used to be for-profit. Switching it to a public utility saved lives. Switching healthcare to a public utility will save even more lives.
Let us not forget that the "cyber attack" allowed them to not pay doctors and then because of that they(UHC) bought the practices of those same doctors for pennies on the dollar. They told investors that the attack will have no effect on their bottom line and in the end they are going to make all the money now!
Yep I had to pay out of pocket for my meds, my mothers and my sons twice because it lasted 6 weeks in my area. PMB was the issue more than UHC. Want to guess who is deep in the PBM part of pharmacy? BlackRock. I know for a fact because my ex runs their PBM business.
I lost my 40yr old mother and my 17yr old brother within 19 months of each other. I was asked to donate their organs. Which I did. It was a terrible experience. Organ transplant is very expensive. I choose not to be organ donor as it benefits only the rich.
The hospitals make money from taking organs. If they see or hear "organ donor" they think cha-ching. I took myself off the list years ago. Young adults are in a precarious situation. If you are over 50 you are less likely to get an organ, unless you're rich.
As soon as I'm able, I'll take myself of the organ donor list. My reasoning is that if it incentivized a handful of doctors to go halfway through the harvesting process on a middle-aged man (who survived it and is now severely traumatized and disabled), they wouldn't think twice about letting me die just to reap my kidneys, liver, heart, and whatever else they want. Organ harvesters are rich enough to put research into lab-grown replacement organs. Let 'em do that instead of relying on the deaths of thousands of ordinary people to extend their own lives.
As a cancer survivor myself I'm shocked to my core at the idea that an insurance company can overcharge 1000% for drugs that cancer patients need. WTF! If serial killers murdered as many people as the deaths caused by the insurance companies they'd be sitting on death row. Can someone please tell me what's the difference?
there are 2 justice systems. One for the rich, the people who run the county. they are allowed to commit any crime, as trump said, he could shoot someone on 5th avenue. Meanwhile, the plebs must be controlled through propaganda fear and faux democracy while they spy on us
The answer is clear: Original Medicare for Seniors including dental, vision and hearing. It would actually be cheaper than giving the funds to private corporations like UHC to administer care to Medicare.
@petermoate5412 you're right. Unfortunately, we are a long way from there. Nothing like that for the next four years. I think the next administration is hoping to privatize Medicare.
This is so discouraging because I just don’t see how we will ever go to a single payer system with all of this money and all of the jobs that are intertwined with this disgusting predatory healthcare! I can’t stand it
The job losses may not be significant if we go to a Medicare4All type plan. All of the people who are processing claims now at private insurers may be needed to process the same claims as they go thru the new system.
@@DavidTaylor-n1zTrump will make Luigi into a martyr. Trump will make Luigi an example of why you shouldn't step out of line. All Trump wants is to punish Americans who don't vote for him in 2020. Didn't you see his official presidential portrait? Dude looks straight up evil movie villain mad. He's mad at Americans who made him look bad. He wants revenge. He will have his revenge.
agree, I work in a nursing home and the meds they are taking...keeping people alive who can't walk on a tube feeding just to give them meds???? DISGUSTING!
I'm Canadian, never paid a dime in healthcare costs, no premiums, no copays, care is excellent. Like all systems it has its problems. One that we don't have is having to argue with an insurance company that we pay hundreds a month in premiums and get denied, and if we are approved we don't have to pay a deductable. that's called extra billing and its illegal in Canada. Create an affordable system made in the USA. make it happen. UHC...UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE. billions in profit. People should go to their employer and if they have UHC they should go to another carrier, one that doesn't deny 32% of claims, send a message. write or call your elected officials, make them bring in UHC Universal Health Care.
Congress needs to get on board for change, but Congress and these insurance companies have this dysfunctional relationship going on between them. They need each other. Congress needs money from these insurance companies to run their campaigns, and these insurance companies need Congress in order to pass legislation to help them. Sadly,I believe this next administration will not be helping anyone. They love getting all this money from these monsters.
@@PyewacketCharmer-w6mthe money can be taken out of politics !! Start protesting ! Start petitions deliver these petitions to your senator ,to your local elected officials !! People power will get this done ! UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE FOR EVERY AMERICAN ! ONE PAYER , YOU ALLMPAY ENOUGH TAXES FOR THE RIGHT TO GET GOOD HEALTHCARE .
Our elected leaders will have their dinner parties with celebrities and laugh at the American people. They always do. Plus they give each other awards.....
They are a huge campaign contributor. They are all in bed togeather. Feathers on same bird. They don’t discipline them because they see profits hand over fist collecting premiums denying claims allowing an office worker make surgical life and death decisions
It’ll be a slap on the wrist at worst. They’ll pay a % of what they gained via scheme. It’ll look like a big number to satisfy public but it’s pennies to them.
About 30 years ago, United Healthcare was a pretty decent insurance company. Its shameful what greed can do. It destroys everything in its path for more & more. Its never enough.
My dad’s insurance FIDELIS denied my dad’s claim for his angina. It stated that it was not medically necessary although the ambulance noted he was possibly having a heart attack as well as the physicians who admitted him into the hospital for three days and did a stent on my dad… it’s utterly ridiculous how they are treating people with real life crisis conditions. 😢
PRICE GOUGING SHOULD BE ILLEGAL IN THE USA. HERE IN AMERICA THEY NOT ONLY GOUGE US IN MEDS BUT, ALSO FOOD AND RENT. THE RICH GET RICHER AND THE POOR GET POORER.
Jordan thank you for your coverage on this. We don't even see this kind of coverage and other progressive media. And we definitely don't see it in legacy media. I encourage everyone to share this great reporting.
I’ve told multiple people in my family and friend group that it if I ever get cancer, I’m going to accept my fate and not treat it, even if it’s just starting because I can not afford treatments.
In Australia we have our PBS Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme where life saving drugs are government subsidised, which means drugs costing many thousands of dollars cost only a few dollars for the patient.
Luigi is the hero to many especially to those that have been ignored by these DEATH CARE INSURANCE COMPANIES. These insurance companies have become extinct and need to be put out of their misery and ours. When President Obama was developing the ACA, the Republicans said that the ACA has DEATH PANELS. Well, we already have DEATH PANELS. These insurance companies have DEATH PANELS. Enough is enough. Sadly, this next administration will not be doing anything to help us. CONCEPTS OF A PLAN mean absolutely nothing. We need SINGLE PAYER/UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE just like every other industrialized nation in the world. We need change. Our lives depend on it.
I've been forced off my MS meds because insurance companies deemed them not medically necessary and made me switch meds. Yes we appealed but I was still rejected
Thank you, Luigi, you have opened so many eyes to the corruption in healthcare. You should be freed from any responsibility due to the fact you have helped people. We need to organize a protest on any day they dare to take you to a trumped up trail. You are not a terrorist . You are a man who said enough.
Were you able to use a coupon from Single RX or Good RX? I use a coupon whenever the pharmacy runs into problems with insurance. Also, is there an alternative prescription? Call your doctor.
@@sct4040 Yes. My husband’s dermatologist prescribed a cream that our local HEB wanted $174. He told them to run it through Single RX or Good RX, and that cream went down to under $19.00. Why such a difference is prices? I think they just try to get as much money as possible no matter what. It’s disgraceful, and these DEATH PANEL companies need to disappear.
I’ve noticed that the VA hospital has switched a lot of veterans from advair to symbicort…I’m not sure if it was due to price difference or something else. (I used to work at the VA hospital as a respiratory therapist).
I had asthma for my entire life, went to emergency rooms thousands of times. Kept getting sicker with all the drugs. Turns out I was allergic to almost all the food I was eating. Changed my diet drastically over a decade added supplements, I've gone from more than ten rx to one occasionally. I had to take steps to free myself from that rx revenue stream.
It’ll be interesting when the people begin to realize that there are multiple cures for cancer, but because none of them are patentable pharmaceutical drugs-you never hear of them, and they become the “dangerous and unnecessary” treatments that this CEO is referring to.
When he goes on trial, then the corruption of United Health Care should also be exposed in the trial, but it probably won't be allowed as a defense. So the trial of UHC has to take place in FRONT of the court house. Present evidence, and personal stories of health care denial or delay, every single day of that trial in front of the Court House.
They could give people generics that would work the same, but they don't. Is all about them, no respect for the people. Is never enough for this corporation.
We desperately need an overhaul if our political and judicial systems here in the US. Corporations shouldn't be allowed to keep buying judges and politicians.
So sorry for that Father. Everything is killing folks, foods, drugs, DEW's n more. I hate these times n I wish I could turn back the times! I hope these companies get what is due them: KARMA!
@LiangYong-k4c doesn't surprise me at all. After it got through my thick head that every other developed country has universal healthcare I started leaving hashtags like #MedicareForAll on news sites on RUclips (for some reason I can always get RUclips). I've been doing that for about 10 years now. I got terrible insults at first. But no one could shame me. And the fact that all these friendly faces on the news shows KNEW that healthcare was available in just about any other country - and never mentioned it! That really stoked the fire that kept me going. Even before Luigi did his thing, I'd noticed the amount and tone of comments my hashtag gets has really changed. Sometimes I even get likes! The anger is there, and it can't help but grow. Who's going to forget their son dying unnecessarily because of lack of medication? Or your wife or daughter dying because of lack of surgical intervention? More and more people will lose their loved ones unnecessarily, and they won't forget. President Biden has a very touching speech about gradually healing as you look at the chair where your deceased loved one used to sit. But what do you feel when you look at that chair and realise it should not be empty?
I am in the hospital as we speak and United healthcare just denied me acute rehab. Now I have to go home like this and try to walk so now they can just bring the rehab to my house Congress needs to force Medicare to go back to traditional Medicare and Medicaid and get rid of these price gouging people and they are costing lives anytime. It's for profit. That's what it's going to be profit for them. No help or death for you
I only have Part B Medicare (which is the original) but it doesn't include dental, hearing or vision. You have to buy privatized Part D to get medication and privatized Medicare Advantage to get dental, hearing and vision. It's another scam.
I have united HC and have cancer. Lung surgery, $85,000, kidney removal, $108,000, bladder, $25,000, broken leg, $60,000, pleural effusion, $20,000 and now EV & keytruda, $85,000/month. Why they like drugs over surgery.
Lost my dear cousin here in Italy. The ordeals she faced and all us around her was plenty to face and deal with. Here the universal health care covered it all. I can't wrap my head around the idea of how a patient with the same situation, over there in the States, have also face the bureaucratic and especially the financial ordeal, and be at the mercy of a cold corporation, who's main objective is not the best possible care, but instead the most (let's say) "cost effective". I feel you brother.
📌 this is so disgusting how they scammed people that were sick and then they want us to feel sorry for the CEO the past give me a break I find that hard to do
My dad had a good job with benefits, went to work every day, even worked OT, was a good, hard worker. He literally played by all the rules. Unfortunately, he had Type 1 Diabetes. His blood sugar became harder to manage and one day he passed out at work from low blood sugar. Then he was fired (for passing out at work). He lost his livlihood, his insurance, and after a downward spiral ended up on dialysis and ended up dead. Before he died, was on medicaid, living in medical debt, barely surviving. Then the dialysis center tried to charge us for the appointments he missed (because he was dead). Apparently, he should have called from his grave! I was in high school and my parents were divorced. My mom had to handle all of that, I can't imagine trying to fight those bastards!

Same drug sells in Canada for $60 as well. WTF. this is criminal.
We are being redrumed here in USA 😮 Love my Canadian brothers and sisters❤❤❤❤
It's not just limited to Canada either, the rest of the world fights for lower prices for their people.
Only in the US, do drug company have so much influence to keep the politicians on both sides in their pocket and to kick out those who don't get corrupted.
@ yes, that is true, it is criminal. call your MP or elected officials, ask why this is the case and legal practice in the USA, watch him squirm.
American sometimes go to Cuba to get medicine.
Americans are seen by pharma bros as sacrificial suckers to "make up losses" from normal prices elsewhere in the world.
If an insurance company drops you for any reason, they should back pay their clients
Absolutely!!
True
right, it is just stealing at this point
That goes for home insurance too. Pay for years then get dropped when it’s convenient for the company… so terrible !
the UHC denied my young daughter treatment at Johns Hopkins when she became blind with the first symptom of MS. So she could not avoid....now blind. UHC pay up.
I'm sorry
I became unnecessarily further disabled from MS because of Anthem's delay of my initial treatments. I hate these jerks and feel no sympathy for their little plights...Ooh, and I just got off the phone with the pharmaceutical company Biogen, trying to get help with my *$100,000 plus* (every six weeks) MS infusion. *_F them!_*

How many lives has Luigi saved indirectly because of his justifiable actions?
How many lives have been lost because of Brian Thompson’s direct involvement with United Healthcare?
I would love to see a fair trial where the jury gets to decide after all evidence is put on the table.

I had a cancer operation in 2023. It was large and left a very large wound. After the operation I was given a change of dressing and sent home with instructions to take care of it myself, no homecare or wound-vac. The wound was on my lower back upper buttock so me taking care of it was impossible without causing damage, the wound was 7"W x 6"L x 3"D.
I went to my surgeon's office two days later to ask if his nurse could change the dressing. The nurse looked at the wound and asked me "where is the wound-vac?" I didn't know what that was so she explained it to me, I told her I didn't get one, she setup homecare. The first visit from the home care nurse she asked me the same question "where is the wound-vac" I told her I didn't get one, she changed the dressing and took a picture of the wound. Two days later her next visit didn't go well, the dressing stuck to the wound, and I ended up passing out from the pain, the nurse called an ambulance, 7 days after the operation I went to the ER with an infection and a 109-temperature that caused brain damage all because I didn't get the wound-vac. I was in the hospital for 3 days before they gave me the equipment which caused me enough pain, I passed out again when it was installed.
I spent a total of 10 days in the hospital because I wasn't given the wound-vac to keep me out of the hospital, if they had given me the equipment the hospital was only going to get money for the operation and one day a week for wound care, instead they got 10 days of money for drugs, doctors, nurses and room charges on top of the operation and wound care visits.
Every nurse and doctor that saw the picture and heard the story said I should get a lawyer. When I was able to do it, I only had 6 months before the statute of limitations hit. I spoke with over 20 lawyers, none would take the case because I couldn't pay. One even told me to just bring to small claims court.
I'm still recovering 18 months after the operation, no work and no benefits, my food stamps were taken away because a friend paid my rent a couple months and I reported it to the government, they took them away because he gave me money. I have extreme PTSD because of this whole thing and I'm finding it very hard to continue.
I created a gofundme page with the picture taken by the homecare nurse.

Between the doctor and patient no middlemen needed
Let us not forget that the "cyber attack" allowed them to not pay doctors and then because of that they(UHC) bought the practices of those same doctors for pennies on the dollar. They told investors that the attack will have no effect on their bottom line and in the end they are going to make all the money now!
They never did figure out who was responsible for that cyber attack.
Weird
What Crap!!
And this is not criminal……
Yep I had to pay out of pocket for my meds, my mothers and my sons twice because it lasted 6 weeks in my area. PMB was the issue more than UHC. Want to guess who is deep in the PBM part of pharmacy? BlackRock. I know for a fact because my ex runs their PBM business.

I lost my 40yr old mother and my 17yr old brother within 19 months of each other. I was asked to donate their organs. Which I did. It was a terrible experience. Organ transplant is very expensive. I choose not to be organ donor as it benefits only the rich.
Thank you to each of your family members that donated.
I have ever been an orga donor. I don't like that it's mostly the rich rhat end up with them.
The hospitals make money from taking organs. If they see or hear "organ donor" they think cha-ching. I took myself off the list years ago. Young adults are in a precarious situation. If you are over 50 you are less likely to get an organ, unless you're rich.
As soon as I'm able, I'll take myself of the organ donor list. My reasoning is that if it incentivized a handful of doctors to go halfway through the harvesting process on a middle-aged man (who survived it and is now severely traumatized and disabled), they wouldn't think twice about letting me die just to reap my kidneys, liver, heart, and whatever else they want. Organ harvesters are rich enough to put research into lab-grown replacement organs. Let 'em do that instead of relying on the deaths of thousands of ordinary people to extend their own lives.

there are 2 justice systems. One for the rich, the people who run the county. they are allowed to commit any crime, as trump said, he could shoot someone on 5th avenue. Meanwhile, the plebs must be controlled through propaganda fear and faux democracy while they spy on us
UHC is guilty of crimes against humanity!
The answer is clear: Original Medicare for Seniors including dental, vision and hearing. It would actually be cheaper than giving the funds to private corporations like UHC to administer care to Medicare.
Medicare is nearly $200 monthly and only covers the bare minimum. It is criminal!
Yes!!!
No, Universal health care as in first world countries.
@petermoate5412 you're right. Unfortunately, we are a long way from there. Nothing like that for the next four years. I think the next administration is hoping to privatize Medicare.
So true. Because Seniors use the Advantage Plans because they cannot afford dental, vision, and hearing.
This is so discouraging because I just don’t see how we will ever go to a single payer system with all of this money and all of the jobs that are intertwined with this disgusting predatory healthcare! I can’t stand it
The job losses may not be significant if we go to a Medicare4All type plan. All of the people who are processing claims now at private insurers may be needed to process the same claims as they go thru the new system.

Parasites, along with THE BANKERS!!
I'm Canadian, never paid a dime in healthcare costs, no premiums, no copays, care is excellent. Like all systems it has its problems. One that we don't have is having to argue with an insurance company that we pay hundreds a month in premiums and get denied, and if we are approved we don't have to pay a deductable. that's called extra billing and its illegal in Canada. Create an affordable system made in the USA. make it happen. UHC...UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE. billions in profit. People should go to their employer and if they have UHC they should go to another carrier, one that doesn't deny 32% of claims, send a message. write or call your elected officials, make them bring in UHC Universal Health Care.
Congress needs to get on board for change, but Congress and these insurance companies have this dysfunctional relationship going on between them. They need each other. Congress needs money from these insurance companies to run their campaigns, and these insurance companies need Congress in order to pass legislation to help them.

I’ve noticed that the VA hospital has switched a lot of veterans from advair to symbicort…I’m not sure if it was due to price difference or something else.

@LiangYong-k4c doesn't surprise me at all. After it got through my thick head that every other developed country has universal healthcare I started leaving hashtags like #MedicareForAll on news sites on RUclips (for some reason I can always get RUclips).
I've been doing that for about 10 years now. I got terrible insults at first. But no one could shame me. And the fact that all these friendly faces on the news shows KNEW that healthcare was available in just about any other country - and never mentioned it! That really stoked the fire that kept me going.
Even before Luigi did his thing, I'd noticed the amount and tone of comments my hashtag gets has really changed. Sometimes I even get likes!
The anger is there, and it can't help but grow. Who's going to forget their son dying unnecessarily because of lack of medication? Or your wife or daughter dying because of lack of surgical intervention? More and more people will lose their loved ones unnecessarily, and they won't forget.
