2026: Big Pharma is hitting the 'Patent Cliff,' with 70B in revenue at risk as blockbusters like Ozempic face expiration. But the industry is already using AI to snap up late-stage assets and find new ways to extend their monopolies. Health is a biological common, not a rent-seeking asset. We need to enforce generic accessibility and dismantle the automated extensions of medical scarcity.

This is exactly what happens when healthcare gets treated like a commodity instead of a proper public service. The report on Scotlandโ€™s health system shows that when you pump money into strong public hospitals instead of flogging it off to for profit clinics, you get better results and less inequality. Scotland put the focus on building capacity, training staff, keeping care in house, and giving it out based on need, not how fat your wallet is.
Meanwhile in England, and in places letting privatisation run riot, weโ€™re seeing massive wait times, a two tier setup where the rich skip the queue, and battlers left in the lurch.
If we want a fair dinkum, more efficient health system here in Australia, weโ€™d better listen up: bulk up our public hospitals, stop pouring taxpayer dollars into private profit machines, and treat healthcare as a right, not a bloody privilege.

@vagina_museum it is also not a pedantic detail, because over 6.7 million a year suffer from ectopic , the majority of which happens within the tubes. In the South, that translates into thousands of deaths (totally preventable, when you can count yearly maternal deaths due to ectopic pregnancies in the UK on the fingers of one hand).

Next Saturday we're teaming up with our buddies at Appalachian Medical Solidarity and the Asheville Bail Fund to host a discussion on abolition through the lens of healthcare with Dr. Ronica Mukerjee, co-editor of "All This Safety is Killing Us."

This discussion will examine the book as well as the impacts of over policing and deadly conditions at the Buncombe County Detention Center on our own community's health and well-being. Copies of "All This Safety Is Killing Us" will be available during the event, along with opportunities to support local grassroots efforts toward health justice. We hope to see you there!

Full details can be found at firestorm.coop/events/3398-abo

Appalachian Medical Solidarity and Asheville Bail Fund host a discussion of All This Safety is Killing Us, the first abolitionist anthology that focuses on healthcare!

Murder wonโ€™t fix U.S. healthcare

Cheering the murder of a CEO and bitching about our crappy healthcare system on social media appears to be way more fun than fixing the system.

Okay, it may not be fun fun, but itโ€™s for sure an easy and popular approach to accomplishing nothing. 

So who is actually working to fix the system? How can we the people help reach that goal without shooting anybody?

Seriously. I want to know.

Significant campaign finance reform is one key to fixing our healthcare system.

What activist groups, nonprofits and/or other organizations are headed in the right direction?

Donโ€™t tell me itโ€™s the Democratic Party. If they were competent at this or interested in a fix, they would have done whatever it took to trash Citizens United by now or kept it from happening in the first place. They could have set and enforced strict limits on all campaign contributions by everyone and made the information public.

Both major parties like big money. Smaller parties donโ€™t hesitate to take big bucks, either.

Significant campaign finance reform is one key to fixing our healthcare system. Another is scrapping the grossly unfair practice of letting the wealthiest among us pay little if any income tax.

If we donโ€™t have the will to stop big money and big-big corporations from buying lawmakers at every level of government, we wonโ€™t fix much of anything.

So I ask again: Who is actually working to fix the system?

Please comment if you have an answer, and donโ€™t hesitate to share or reblog this.

B.J.
