@thatsnotrightpolitics BREAKING: JD Vance announces he will kick almost a million Americans off of their insurance! Last year, Republicans allowed the ACA's subsidies to lapse, causing premiums to triple for millions of families. This year, they're just straight up stripping insurance coverage from Americans. And in 2027, most Americans can expect to pay significantly more each month for health insurance next year, whether they get it through work, the Affordable Care Act or Medicare. 92% of U.S. adults have delayed or avoided medical care due to high costs. Meanwhile, a new study from Yale estimates that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year. If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have universal healthcare. We're the only developed country without universal (single-payer) healthcare. Americans pay up to 300% more than other countries for procedures and prescriptions through our antiquated, for-profit system. Even citizens with insurance can pay thousands a month in premiums, copays, non covered procedures, etc. Because healthcare in the US is treated as a for-profit business instead of service, with charges and costs astronomically inflated. Conservatives argue that single-payer healthcare would mean major tax increases or excessive wait times. Nothing but scare tactics. Other similar countries see moderate to slight increases in taxes to cover healthcare, but those costs are offset without the costs of premiums, co pays, or medical bills for out of network or non-covered treatments. Costs for uninsured Americans wouldn't be passed on to insured Americans through higher premium prices because ALL Americans would be covered! There would be no pleading with insurance companies to cover your life-saving care. No bills for hundreds of thousands of dollars. No waiting until your on death's door before seeing a doctor because of fear of the cost. No hoarding medication because you can pay for it or your rent, but not both. It's time the wealthiest country in the world stops bankrupting its sick citizens. Enough paying 200-300% percent more for healthcare to pay profit margins for hospitals and drug companies.
