2/ Every barrier we place will cause harm to the most vulnerable in our society. And it becomes a viscous cycle: inadequate care leads to worsening of health status which makes it harder to find work. Those with the most complex medical issues will suffer the most.
3/ Ultimately it will cost states more money as these vulnerable people will end up with complications of their illnesses that cannot be reversed or easily treated.
4/ They will end up in our emergency rooms, where they will only be able to get stop-gap treatment, not comprehensive care. And the cost of this emergency care will be borne by society.
5/ This is shortsighted and cruel. It harms vulnerable people who already struggle to survive. And it costs society money. Shameful.
End/ The solution: #MedicareForAll. #HealthcareIsAHumanRight.
