Americans don’t need to “sacrifice” anything.

We can have better healthcare at a much more affordable cost.

It’s time for Medicare for all

@nytopinion Medicare for all proponents do not “say that total healthcare spending would remain roughly the same”. In fact, we know it could save trillions peri.umass.edu/publication/it…
The employer sponsored healthcare system is collapsing. Employer sponsored family plans cost 20% more than they did just 5 years ago. More of the cost is being shifted onto employees, and businesses are still struggling to keep up.
Meanwhile, 28% of people on employer plans are now considered underinsured.

There are no market incentives to control costs or cover more care.

It’s way past time for Medicare for all.

Well, we've finally seen the first ad from the newly formed industry front group @P4AHCF. It was filled with a health mix of distorted claims and outright lies (imagine our shock!) @BizHealthPol president @wendellpotter is here to set them straight. (A thread!)
Employer sponsored coverage isn't "affordable" for business owners or workers, and that cost is a huge reason we're seeing worse health outcomes.
Most of us haven't had a statistics class recently, but here's a refresher on the basics...

How To Make $10,000/Month As A Marketing Consultant (10 Steps)

Making an income online isn't difficult -- but it does take dedication, and a solid plan of action.

So in this thread, I want to give you a plan of action to help you hit $10k/month.

Let's DIVE IN!
1. Find your market

The first step, isn't to create a service.

It's to find a market with a noticeable pain point.

How can you do this?

Look for an industry with a painful problem, and ideally, they KNOW they have a problem. More specifically to our situation, look for...
...an industry that is currently not doing something the way they should (far from objective truth).

Businesses which utilize cold-calling exclusively, instead of using social media marketing, for example...

Here's why Trump's 'decision' to pull out of Syria is so much more dangerous than Bush 43's "Mission Accomplished" gaffe... #ThursdayThoughts

I think I found where you can read that great #healthcare article but the ads are SO intrusive. amrank.info/2018/07/11/why… @ImageAltText I’m paraphrasing, but seriously this is what some people believe. Step one, free market, step two (blank), step three Profit!Turns out it’s actually cheaper for healthy people to subsidize the sick. It’s a common refrain of people who have a lot to say but almost no knowledge of healthcare markets that the main problem with health spending is that there isn’t enough choice. “Make the market more free” they say, “and cheap healthcare will magically pop out.”“When healthy people pay some of the health costs of sick people everyone ends up paying less.”
What I like about the article is how it points out in simple terms why the free market idea doesn’t apply to healthcare.
