So, how does Direct Primary Care work? How will this method begin to replace comprehensive insurance plans and lower costs for everyone?

#healthcare
Direct Primary Care is a game-changing structure for healthcare providers. It cuts out insurance companies, lowers costs and administrative fees, and provides patients with quality, focused, and personalized care.

Over 75% of healthcare can be provided in a primary care setting. So this means 75% of average expenses will be covered under a flat monthly fee, instead of costly insurance premiums and deductibles.
Fee based primary care costs between $25-$85 per month and includes unlimited visits, consultations, and wholesale prescription drug prices.
A single county in North Carolina saved over $1 million in a single year in taxpayer funded healthcare claims. If this practice was adopted nationwide, billions would be saved without compromising quality, and increasing access to everyone.

Direct Primary Care paired with catastrophic insurance plans can revolutionize the healthcare industry, save money, save lives, and ensure affordable healthcare access to those who previously could not afford it.

How pharmaceutical companies weaponize patents: A Thread

#Healthcare
Frederick Banting discovered insulin in 1923, he refused to put his name on the patent. He felt it was unethical for a doctor to profit from a discovery that would save lives. The patent was sold to University of Toronto for $1. They wanted their medication to remain affordable.
It is now 97 years after the original insulin patent was sold, and there currently no true generic Insulin products on the market.

Walter Ogrod was convicted of murder in 1992 and coerced into confessing to a crime he didn’t commit. He sat on death row for 20 yrs trying to clear his name. Luckily, he was able to and was released in July.

Walter is just one of many who have been exonerated from death row.
172 people have been found innocent and released from death row since 1973. That’s an average of 3.5 wrongfully convicted people exonerated each year. How many are not being exonerated? How many people are still being unjustly sentenced to death every year?
As we know from stories like Walter Ogrod, the justice system makes mistakes and willfully prosecutes innocent people.

The system is not foolproof. The cost is too high. We need to #EndTheDeathPenalty

It’s hardly a #PeaceDeal when Isreal and the UAE weren’t fighting to begin with.
Bahrain and Isreal have already had peaceful diplomatic relations for decades.

This was a sham of an “agreement” made between militaries to secure weapons purchases from the United States.
Isreal, Bahrain, and the UAE have already been working together since 2015 to completely devastate Yemen, leading to over 20,000 airstrikes and countless civilian deaths.

Of course they’ll come together for the “peace” when promised weaponry from the U.S. as part of the deal.
We will never have #PeaceInTheMiddleEast until the US government stops trying to pick winners and losers among warmongering heads of state. There will be no peace until we stop with the interventionism, gets out of the Middle East, and lets the people there decide what they want.

This man's name was #DuncanLemp

He was killed in a police raid of his home back in March, and they still haven't released any evidence of why or how it happened. Image
Duncan was a student and a software developer who was working on starting his own business, and was very devoted to his girlfriend and family. He was also an avid and vocal supporter of the right to keep and bear arms. #2ndAmendment Image
Early March 12, police carried out a no-knock raid of Duncan’s home that he shared with his parents and 19 y/o brother.
They claim they were acting on an anonymous tip that he owned illegal weapons, that he "confronted" them with a weapon, and that they shot him in self defense Image

Want to know why the cost of living continues to go up, year after year?

Want to know how the government can "afford" to pay for endless wars, the war on drugs, the militarized #policestate, and so many other destructive policies? Image
Want to know why the US government is over $26 trillion in debt, and rapidly rising, or why our #economy bounces between boom and bust cycles, leaving the poor and middle class further and further behind?

The answer to these is very simple: it's because of the Federal Reserve.
The #FederalReserve, or Fed for short, is the central banking system of the US. It controls how much, or how little, money is being printed.

Its main purpose is to lend money to government-approved banks at low-interest rates, so they can lend it to you at higher rates.
