🚨NEW REPORT: Health insurers raked in $371 BILLION in profits since passage of the ACA, while raising family premiums to $26K a year.

More than 40% of the profit went to UnitedHealth, whose profits rose 400% as the company denies nearly 1 in 3 claims. buff.ly/3ZtqD4d

Wikipedia:
"Social murder is a concept used to describe an unnatural death that is believed to occur due to social, political, or economic oppression, instead of direct violence."

Reality in the US:
"🚨NEW REPORT: Health insurers raked in $371 BILLION in profits since passage of the ACA, while raising family premiums to $26K a year.

"More than 40% of the profit went to UnitedHealth, whose profits rose 400% as the company denies nearly 1 in 3 claims.”

@davidsirota Media - "A senseless tragedy, nobody could ever know what led him to it.."

@davidsirota Republicans: “And that is why we must end the ACA. It only made healthcare more expensive for families.”

@davidsirota

Imagine if Dems spent the last 10 years talking about the grotesque health corp profits as the driver of costs?

@davidsirota "profit" whats the product again? Dead people?

@davidsirota Time for reparations!

We don't need a War on Health Insurers. We just need to enact Eminent Domain by the People for the People and Make It Right.

There will never be a day when a Person (Corporation, Human, or AI) will Do the Right Thing on their own. We will only do so when held to account by others, by the masses, by the power of the many standing together.

@davidsirota Why are y'all paying into this system? as a basically healthy person who went without health insurance for over over 5 years - what are you paying for? $26,000/year to cover nothing? The health insurance you're paying for is a scam.
