The #ACA / #Obamacare is a popular but not overwhelmingly popular system (60% popularity). It left a lot of the problems with the #private, #forprofit #US #medical system intact and is vulnerable to #farright attacks.

Only 8% of #Democrats oppose #MedicareForAll, yet no Dem politicians pursue it. Ask why.

Reminder: This was the #RonaldReagan #Healthcare Plan made by the #Heritage Foundation who would then make #Project2025!

Such a mess for public health and the environment: “To be clear, science *is* real, and MAHA is not the answer. But ideological inconsistencies, and gaps between rhetoric and action, leave spaces that conspiracy theorists are all too happy to fill.”

We've been shortchanging people with low incomes for years. We need to raise taxes on the rich so that they pay their fair share and then pay people a #BasicIncome, implement #MedicareForAll, raise the federal minimum wage to $15/hour, pass a #GreenNewDeal, and work our way towards a #Solarpunk future. clasp.org/press-room/press-rel

Despite all that, I have no idea which plan to choose. Last year's plan left us with surprise out of pocket expenses, even though I had carefully reviewed all of the plan's details.

This was an expensive HMO plan (anything other than a managed care plan is way out of reach) that should have been fine.

It wasn't.

If I can't sort through this w/all the knowledge & privilege I have, then who can?

Health ins in the U.S is a cluster fuck.

We need #singlePayor or #MedicareForAll

So my wife used up the balance on a medical expense. Then a couple days later when I went on the #healthequity website to close the account, I noticed another fee applied! After another couple hours yesterday on the phone with a supervisor, I again got the fee refunded and initiated the account closure. I hope this is the last of my troubles with them, tho of course I'll be checking that this get closed out as expected.

This a year ago and after a couple hours on the phone, I got the fees refunded and was told I was put on a plan that didn't have the fees. Then last month, I noticed the fees returned starting in Dec. After another couple hours on the phone with #healthequity supervisor, I again got the fees refunded and was again assured that I was on a plan that should no longer have the fees. But with my trust eroded, we planned to use up the balance and close the account.

My #healthsavingsaccount story dealing with #healthequity screwing me repeatedly with "admin fees":
A few months after leaving my prior employer, I noticed unexpected $3.95 admin fees starting to show up on my HSA, apparently as I was to learn because the balance had slipped below their $2.5K minimum that now applied because I was no longer on a corporate backed plan. No notice was given to me of the plan change, minimum balance reqt, or balance falling below this.

“Any Democrat condemning Green’s protest or voting to censure him should know no peace. Their constituents should be ceaselessly demanding to know what they are doing to protect health care for the poor, working class, disabled, and elderly — and why their elected officials thought it was a good use of their time to condemn their colleague who was standing up for exactly such policies.”

jacobin.comThe Democratic Opposition Should Look More Like Rep. Al GreenIn interrupting Donald Trump’s speech to Congress, Rep. Al Green showed more vigor in opposing the president’s undemocratic, anti-worker agenda than any other act since Inauguration Day. Democrats should emulate Green, not censure him.
