Everything but what's really needed—money and a crackdown on the insurance companies killing people for profit.

Are Biden and Harris actually going to talk about changing our horrible Private For Profit Healthcare System? I doubt it. No other country in the world has a healthcare system like the US has. Our healthcare system is a disgrace. I cannot imagine how I would feel if my family had to deal with $50,000 of medical debt.

There should be no such thing as medical debt. We need single payer health insurance.

As long as there is a financial incentive in the American healthcare system, there will be reasons to deny care and to profit from the sick.

We need a true Medicare for All system that insures everyone without taking money out of the patient's pocket. Even the traditional Medicare system has co pays, deductibles, etc. None of those patient expenses should be allowed.

That was a meeting about absolutely nothing they're just pandering for votes. And this writer is just advocating for Democrats

This news in under-whelming. Address medical debt? We need NO medical debt as in other countries with single-payer universal healthcare. Enough is enough. Cut the crap and give the American people what they need.

I can solve this entire thing. Insurance companies only manage data. If you charge for managing data, say $10/month, and let the patient pay for his own risk, you can cut HALF from the cost of health insurance. Read the details here: https://sentiahealth.substack.com/
