 So this is from Becca 2400 for-profit health care should be illegal period This is a really great tick-tock by Christie PM and I had to share it with you because it's so insightful She's so concise and explaining why for-profit health care as a giant ripoff and yeah, let's watch seeing transparency video You know that back in January There was a requirement placed on hospitals that they needed to publish the prices of their common procedures So the public could see it is almost the end of August and less than 10% of hospitals are compliant with this Now this is a giant giant deal. I actually just did a story Or a video talking about the story from the New York Times where they actually look at the hospitals that did publish their prices And it's evident why these hospitals don't want to publish the prices because it kind of reveals that It's all the ripoff, but I'll shut up and let her continue But even more than that look at this this hospital put on their website. We understand that we were required to publish our rates We haven't invested our resources into this because it provides something that will only be useful to our competitors We aren't in it for them. We're in it for you Could you imagine going on to a car lot and being like hey, I want to buy a car Can you tell me the price and then they're like well We don't invest our resources into pricing out our cars because then the guy down the street might see our prices and try to Sell you a cheaper car. So instead just buy the car and I'll tell you the price afterwards because I care about you And for the hospitals who are posting their prices check this out a Colonoscopy common procedure at this hospital if you are paying out of pocket You will pay an average of $1,400 But wait for the same colonoscopy at a similar facility if you are paying out of pocket You will pay an average of $14,000 now. Do you think that this facility is sticking that camera up your butt so much better than the other facility that they get to charge you $13,000 more No Patients are going into crippling debt. This is the only industry Where we just kind of accept this in the United States and I think that's slowly but surely people are waking up and they're realizing that Private health care private hospitals is a gigantic fucking scam, but I mean when you see the Price differences between hospitals for the same procedures. It's it's mind-boggling like I feel like there's no way You can't have this information and not become radicalized and immediately want to abolish Private health care and private hospitals because they're they're so brazen and how they rip people off Medical debt is the number one cause of bankruptcy in the United States Yet nobody is holding these hospitals accountable and I am tired of it Yeah, and that's why I will say that not only should the let's be advocating for Medicare for all But I really think that you know, we have to emphasize that Medicare for all is just to compromise in actuality I think that the main goal for the left should be to move us towards a national health care system like the US where we had this NHS and a lot of these hospitals if not the overwhelming majority of them is Private is excuse me not privately owned. It's nationalized So, um, yeah Christy, uh Christy PM or is it? Christy PRN, okay Give her a follow folks. Um Really great content here. Yeah, Christy PRN
