Health insurance companies are highly inefficient bureaucracies with extremely expensive administrative costs and wasteful spending that have absolutely nothing to do w/ health, and that’s why the US healthcare system is the most expensive in the world w/ only mediocre outcomes.
They also require doctors to spend hours on redundant forms and useless paperwork that take valuable time away from them that could been better spent with patients. Health insurance is also funded through a flat tax, which means healthcare CEOS pay them same for premiums as the
janitor, and probably even less bc CEOS have expensive lawyers and accountants that can find loopholes. It’s even worse for the millions of ppl who don’t have healthcare, who can be bankrupted by an unexpected health emergency.
America doesn’t have a functioning healthcare system, it has a national scandal. We can do better, the time is now for #MedicareForAll
