This book lays out the data and logic of the only solution to fix the so called American ‘healthcare system‘: free, accessible universal healthcare. Why is the wealthiest, most developed country in the world the most under developed when it comes to healthcare, and also the sickest?! Most of us are aware of this problem and have experienced its inequities. Many of us are cast into poverty and even die from it. It does not have to be this way.
JenniferEgnor There are some stories in this book that will not surprise you but that will infuriate you, making you scream, WHY?! Shown: one of my EKGs from April 2011 when I was diagnosed with a deadly heart problem called Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome. I died that night and was brought back. Grateful that we had ‘good‘ health insurance at the time from the job we had. My co-pay at the ER that night was $50. Some folx cannot even afford that. A few ⬇️ 3mo
JenniferEgnor months later when we got the official bill, it asked us to pay $150. The rest of the bill that we didn‘t have to pay, was $170,000 and change. What if we did not have this insurance at that time? What if they had refused to pay for it? In America, it‘s often pay up or die…make your choice. I plead with those in power to make the moral choice they know we all need in this country. Universal Healthcare for all. 3mo

JenniferEgnor @Suet624 we have to keep fighting for it, although I don‘t think either of us are going to see it happen in our lifetime. Right now in SC, legislators are once again trying to pass a ‘constitutional carry‘ law. And of course they don‘t care about the healthcare crisis. 3mo
