We are the ONLY country which has a For-Profit Health Care System

Every other country in the world considers it a crime to make a profit off of charging people for health care. Every country except ours.

When you ask a congress person why we can’t seem to get people to see what’s wrong, they say, “they like their health insurance coverage, so they don’t want to change it”.

I feel like I’m being told the biggest lie I’ve ever heard told – and people do nothing but nod their heads in agreement with it. I used to have great coverage, too, when I worked – but I would’ve been waaaayyyy happier if I could’ve gotten health insurance that didn’t try to rip me off every time something important had to get done.

Every day, I read and listen to stories about people who’ve traveled abroad who’ve been through really incredible health crisis problems while out of the country. Not one single one of them had to pay a bill or wait three weeks to see a doctor. Not one single one of them had to worry about their financial situation or feel like a second class citizen while waiting to receive care. Even in Mexico, a foreigner can get better health care – for free – while visiting their country.

People are DYING in this country while trying to receive care – they are dying because they are not able to pay for health care.  They are dying because they’ve lost their homes trying to pay their bills.  They are homeless, broke, hungry, and completely lost, and cannot work because they are too sick – and can’t get well because they have NO health care.

I really wish people would open their eyes and stop sitting idly reading these stories. We have to hit the streets, protest out loud, and really start shaking things up. Enough is ENOUGH.
