The coronavirus pandemic didn’t create these gaps in our healthcare system, but it did bring them into sharp clarity. Say it with me: healthcare is a human right.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that California can get universal healthcare at least for itself, since Biden is against it... #MedicareForAll #NeverBiden

Any plans in mind to make the situation better? Right now nothing seems to be changing... convoluted insurances and medical assignments, hidden costs and etc...

Healthcare should be a MINIMAL human right, especially in a super wealthy country like the U.S. The fact that it's not is shameful.
