Let's hope he's a patsy.....for one of his insurance competitors.
Obviously, but.....a guy can hope, can't he?
Then they are probably in excellent health and have no empathy for those who can't say the same. Same with their family members. So, for better health care for everyone, try electing a person in a wheelchair. But wait, that won't work. Gov. Abbot is in a wheelchair, while Texas still doesn't have extended Medicaid.
Hmmm. Do I condemn murder? That’s an odd question. In Fahrenheit 9/11, I condemned the murder of hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi people and the senseless murder of our own American soldiers at the hands of our American government.
The solution is simple. Throw this entire system in the trash, dismantle this immoral business that profits off the lives of human beings and monetizes our deaths, that murders us or leaves us to die, destroy it all, and instead, in its place, give us all the same health care that every other civilized country on Earth has: Universal, free, compassionate, and full of life. Give us Scotland. Give us Uruguay. Give us Taiwan. Give us Canada or give us death! Just go ahead and deny us all now the care that we will someday need. Or give us Canada and let us get busy curling.

Health Care Company Payouts Favor Shareholders, New Research Shows
Most of health care companies’ net income goes to shareholders, according to a research letter recently published in JAMA Internal Medicine.
Over the past 20 years, health care companies spent 95% of their net income on shareholder payouts, totaling up to $2.6 trillion, according to the research findings. Shareholder payouts also tripled over this period—a trend largely shaped by a few powerful pharmaceutical companies, the research team noted.
These findings reveal that “funds are being distributed back out to shareholders rather than being put back into the health care system,” says Cary Gross, MD, senior author of the study and professor of medicine at YSM. These decisions directly impact the health and health care of regular Americans, he says.
.............................
Of the $5 trillion spent by the United States on health care in 2023, roughly 70% was funded “in some shape or form” by taxpayer money, says Gross, who is also a professor of chronic disease epidemiology at Yale School of Public Health. This includes tax breaks for employer-based health insurance as well as direct funding via Medicare and Medicaid.
