Insurance denying things because they say it’s “not medically necessary.”
Like, I’m the doctor, not you. I said it’s necessary. Medically.
WTH are you talking about?
We just let Big Insurance practice medicine without a license and that’s not okay.
Reminder, the United States can afford anything it wants to prioritize. It just chooses to prioritize war and billionaire space races and not the environment, healthcare and everyday people.
Without saying “vaccines” please explain Joe Biden’s pandemic plan b/c it sure isn’t stimulus checks, universal masking, free tests and masks to all households, ending filibuster, extending unemployment or cancelling all student debt & I’m wondering why isn’t he presidenting
They don’t want to give everyone $2,000 b/c they’re worried that next you would want them to give homeless people homes, or uninsured people health care, or free public college to the public, or all of the other basic shit most industrialized nations already have.
PPP Loans were forgiven because rich people benefitted from them.
Student loans will not be forgiven because rich people don’t have any of those.
Any questions?
How come politicians like Joe pretend they can’t pass laws that benefit 99% of people b/c some 1%ers may benefit too yet they pass laws that benefit only the top 0.1% all the time⁉️
Today was tough.
Two diabetics couldn’t afford their medications.
Had to tell someone they have Hep C & prostate cancer. Their first question was about whether or not I thought their treatments would be covered.
Health shouldn’t be so expensive.

The takeaway from the UFOs being shot down over Lake Michigan & Lake Huron today is that Ohio has been poisoned, not by aliens but by our own government.
Animals are dying. The toxins are in our ground and water. This affects us all, not just Ohio.
Joe Biden told a fundraiser tonight that he is bracing for “an increasingly negative campaign that the Bernie Brothers will run.”
“We can’t let...this primary become a negative bloodbath,” he adds. “We can’t tear this party apart and reelect Trump.”
No we can’t. Asthma inhalers are $250 and sleep apnea testing and CPAP costs like $5,000 and this administration is against Medicare For All.
Also, you owe millions of people $600 stimulus payments.

Apparently it’s unprofessional for doctors to post social media pics wearing bikinis & drinking alcohol, so here’s me doing both.
#MedBikini
Also deemed unprofessional, profanity & political talk but these dudes can fuck off b/c health care should be free at the point of care.
We loved Bernie because of his POLICIES which favored everyday people, the poor, & the vulnerable.
Adopt his policies and you have our vote. It’s that simple.

I’m no 45 fan. But, ultra wealthy politicians mocking people’s body habitus while flaunting freezers full of hundred dollar ice cream while ppl starve & refuse to vote for UBI & universal healthcare during a damn pandemic should not be celebrated in any way.

Audience Member: Do you think there should be a time limit that people should be allowed to be on welfare?
Bernie: For corporate welfare, yes. I’m ending that immediately.

Don’t blame this on the voters. It’s the shitty & corrupt 2-party system.
Blame the Democratic Party. Blame Pete.
Blame Joe.
Blame Barry.
Blame Clyburn.
But don’t you f’n dare blame Bernie who would have won, b/c I won’t tolerate that bullshit terribly well!
There are men who fight a day & are good, others fight a year & they're better; there are those who fight many years & are very good, but there are those who fight their whole lives & those are the indispensable ones.

suggests protesters pack it up, in light of new reforms: "People are still out protesting. You don’t need to protest. You won. You won. You accomplished your goal. Society says, you’re right. The police need systemic reform.”
#MedicareForAll
covers dental, vision, hearing aids, long term care, & mental health therapy. It will cost ZERO at the point of care. Why wouldn’t anyone want that⁉️
Medicare for All Who Want It means “I’m beholden to health & Big Pharma exec’s who rob tax payers”
There are 14 million union workers in America who have fought hard for strong, employer-provided health benefits. Medicare for All Who Want It protects their plans and union members' freedom to choose the coverage that's best for them.

We cannot ignore the strain that emergency situations like the coronavirus pandemic put on many families who are already living paycheck to paycheck.
I introduced the LIFT Act to give working families up to $500 a month. We need it now more than ever.
Seems to me like if you can order insurance to pay for 8 COVID tests per month you can order them to pay for 8 vials of insulin, 8 doctor’s visits, or 8 days of hospital treatments.
I’m going with the guy whose been fighting for
#singlepayer
universal health care since the 90’s. If we ALL rally behind him this time, when the next pandemic comes, health care costs won’t be an additional worry we’ll have to deal with.

Can you imagine how disrespected you’d feel if someone you knew who owed you money (not $20, a couple grand) went on vacation without paying you?
They really DGAF.

I love you, Ava & respect your opinion. I’d be honored to talk with you one about why I as a black, female physician & mother of two black boys who are big for their age and love to wear hoodies, am supporting this
#NotMeUs
movement organized by Bernard Sanders.
People be like:
“I’m dying. I NEED health care!”
And then be like:
“No, not from him/her. I don’t like THEM advocating for it. They’re too angry! They’re trying to get me health care the wrong way.! 😡”

Thanks for always fighting💖

Jill Biden, wife of former vice president Joe Biden, spoke to NPR about her new book and her husband's recent overture to Anita Hill.
"He apologized for the way the hearings were run. And so now it's kind of — it's time to move on," she said.
Capitalism is so confusing. It wants you to buy stuff. But also wants you poor. It wants you to, above all, go to work. But also wants you dead. Dead people can’t work.
#Omicron
is so severe they won’t you even let asymptotic US citizens back into the country without a negative test 24 hrs before departure ✈️ , but it’s so mild that a symptomatic essential workers can be forced to work in a hospital around high-risk, sick individuals. Got it!
How about, instead of opening up the country and dying for capitalism, we instead give people $2,000/mo UBI and universal health care so they can stay at home safely and not die or starve.

Show our 👑 SNT some love today for showing restraint in the face of this foolishness. Da fuq.
Biden administration health officials are weighing whether to offer high quality masks to all Americans as the Omicron variant fuels a record surge of Covid-19 cases
Jill Biden is wrong.
THERE’S NOTHING TOO FAR LEFT ABOUT:
💵 Livable Wages
🏥 Universal Health Care
🤛🏿 Racial Justice
🌎 Habitable Planet
💧 Clean Water
📚 Debt Free Education
Other nations do it! We must stop letting wealthy politicians gaslight us into thinking otherwise.

I usually say, “Give me somebody who can approve this now & save money. B/c if you don’t, I’m sending them to ER & I’m going to tell the patient exactly what to say to make sure no competent physician will let them leave w/out a CT. This will cost you more money.”
When Biden loses to Trump and Trump cuts Social Security & Medicare, don’t say we didn’t warn you.
If Biden beats Trump, 😆 and Biden cuts Social Security & Medicare, don’t say we didn’t warn you.

@JoeBiden
on Sunday, Sanders will speak on before of voters Ds will need in November—and the ideas that inspire those voters.
Did you watch the entire Town Hall or stop when the Black women & men started to speak⁉️
He was there to listen to US as POC about how to meet our needs, not to speak for us. You should check out the rest of the event. It was 🔥 🔥 🔥 listen to OUR black voices.
#Flint
Sanders just finished his speech in Flint and as far as I can tell, it was a shorter version of his stump speech. He did not "directly address the AfAm community and make the case for why black voters should support him over Vice President Biden" as his campaign said he would.
You are a damn human being!
