My friend @AdyBarkan has "good" health insurance, but it's not nearly enough. Every month, he has thousands of dollars in medical bills that his insurer won't cover. His wife Rachael spends hours every week arguing with their insurer. That's time she can't spend with Ady.
@AdyBarkan The basic profit model of an insurance company is to bring in as much money as they can in premiums and pay out as little as possible in health care coverage. We like our doctors and our nurses—but I've never met anyone who actually likes their insurance company.
That's why I'm fighting for #MedicareForAll. So that people like @AdyBarkan get the care they need. So that Rachael doesn't have to spend hours on hold, filling out forms, and fighting to get Ady's care covered. And Ady can enjoy the time he has left with his family.
