I’ve been reading a lot of @pulte / #TwitterPhilanthropy and many of the cases are intractable and hard.
One father has a daughter with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis. Both parents work. The medications are expensive. Medical bills pile one, wages get garnished. Mortgage default.

People are working hard but wages are low so most people eat cheap processed food, which leads to even more sickness and auto-immune diseases, and the cycle continues, and it’s only going to get worse until we grow up and face it.

These are the kind of ideas people should be coming up with re: healthcare. “Those credit cards that roundup and send to a fund? Make a card that does this. People can opt in for a tax rebate. All their card purchases round up and go to desperate families in need.”pic.twitter.com/sLouoEsZDJ

There is: the way the Founders intended it to work, that is to say we would have strong, compassionate local communities that came together to help people less fortunate.
-
And in the age of GoFundMe and the like, those communities no longer even have to be local.

It seems possible to cut spending per person in half, but then we need to cover the 64% without government coverage today.pic.twitter.com/6LTdIn2FXE

That’s what nonprofits are for. The government has no place in healthcare.

But we CAN easily pay for it all. We are the richest country in the history of the world- we can at least have what countries far poorer than us have. We need to reverse the trend over the past 50 years that is redistributed wealth to people who don't/can't even spend it all.

Americans subsidize every other country's drugs. An aspirin should not cost $11.00 per pill in our hospitals. Once HMOs started, that was the beginning of the end.

As a country we need to invest more in early childhood health and make sure the youth grow up with better health practices. With healthcare we need to spend money more efficiently and ensure everyone has a basic level of care.

We need a third, sane, centerist party. There are so many disenfranchised people floating out there right now who feel completely rudderless because of the ridiculousness that is happening on both sides. Now is the time for it to happen.

The answer is debt. The People are kept poor so a select few can profit off of their debt and suffering. America should’ve banned usury at its founding. If the communists win, it will because we failed to stop profiteering off of others misery.

Spend less on pointless wars overseas, and more on health care and mental health (an issue ignored, like opioids till now).

Get the government out of the healthcare business so markets can normalize. Anything else is “heartless”
