The For Profit Healthcare Debacle

Doctors won’t accept health insurance, because insurance companies refuse to pay doctors. 

So, you have to pay to see your doctor despite the fact that you have already paid the insurance company. 

You have two choices. Go broke or die. Meanwhile, insurance company CEOs bring home $100 million bonuses every year. They’re not going broke. 

God bless America! 

This has to stop! It’s insane! The system has to change. 

Start by requiring all health insurance providers to operate as not-for-profit businesses. Blue Cross was non-profit for decades, and it worked fine until recently, when for-profit businesses like Anthem licensed the Blue Cross brand. 

Ban ownership by hedge funds and private equity firms. No one should profit from refusing to provide medical treatment or medication to someone who needs it. 

The system has to change.
