40 million Americans don't have any insurance. 60 million more don't have adequate insurance. Insurance companies try hard to disqualify your claims. Hospitals overcharge to minimize their losses because of the insurance companies. Higher taxes and EVERYBODY IS COVERED !!! https://twitter.com/nataliehamill45/status/1619821760240664577
