The fight for universal coverage/#MedicareForAll is closely tied to the fight to cut costs. And there are many simple ways to do this! 3/x
Government must flex monopsony muscle to bargain down prices of Rx drugs, med tech for Medicare & Medicaid. All other countries do this! 4/x
(This is currently prohibited by the federal law that enacted Medicare Part D. Both candidates Trump & HRC pledged to undo this.) 5/x
Change IP law that rigs system for Big Pharma. Current regs are an upward pre-distribution money suck for Big Pharma shareholders! 6/x
Remove entry barriers for medical education, build more med schools–more physicians in key fields will drive down costs! 7/x
The fight for universal healthcare is also a fight to lower the blood-sucking costs, not just to expand our crappy system as is. 8/x
Good news is we can absolutely do this, if and only if we lose the tunnel vision exemplified by @KevinDrum’s willfully clueless post. 9/9
Idk how that asshole ended up at mother Jones. That org has become so diluted
but the right people make the money.
that's just about the laziest estimation of costs I've EVER SEEN
Get federal & state tax load and extra regulations others do not have off u s healthcare and it would cost less here
Health Care is a public utility. As a profit source avarice supplants morality.
