Well said.

Of course, like our drug problems, I think it's not really the insurers or CEO's at the root, they are symptoms of an insufficiently educated populace making poor decisions that invite the greedy to take advantage.

Provide #UniversalHealthCoverage and starve out #evil #insurance execs with no shots fired.

Wondering if we could, in a week, get America riled up against health insurance extortion mafia, make a big splash Thurs. Dec. 12, UN WHO Universal Health Coverage Day #UHC2030 "to raise awareness about the global commitment to establish #UHC by 2030" (seems mostly targeted for those other (poor) countries, continents, it seems, not #OECD)
