Summary
Rising frustrations with the U.S. healthcare system have been amplified by increasing insurance claim denials and mounting costs.
Patients report prolonged battles to access doctor-recommended care, with surveys showing one in five privately insured Americans faced denial in 2022.
Anger has intensified following the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, spotlighting issues like AI-based claim reviews and profit-driven practices.
While Trump’s upcoming administration proposes deregulation and privatization, critics warn this could worsen access.
Public distrust persists, but significant reforms appear unlikely as partisan debates stall progress in Washington.
How long do these frustrations have to rise? I remember reading about this shit over two decades ago.
When is it enough, exactly?
As long as rich people give enough food and basic necessities to the poor you all will never be uncomfortable enough to fight back. That is the whole point.
Literally expressed in a kid’s movie 20 years ago
That’s the problem, there’s no such thing as “enough” to the people who already have all the power
