Biggest theft of our lives. That was our money and they handed the refund to corporations instead of back to you

Screw-worm in the meat.
Cyclosporiasis in the produce.
During a food affordability crisis.
During a massive cut in SNAP & WIC.

Again, elections have consequences.

The cost of your flight went up because you searched for it twice. Your rideshare costs more because your phone battery is dying.

This is surveillance pricing – corporations using your own data and behaviors against you.

In the US Senate, I’ve got a plan to ban it.

I don’t think people realize how much healthcare costs are driving big companies to fire and not hire.

It costs them $30k per family, per year for premiums and care. Most of that goes to the massive, vertically integrated insurance companies that send weekly bills that no one reviews in details. And it doesn’t include the company overhead to deal with it all. It’s usually the 2nd largest expense after payroll. Which is insane

It’s far easier to blame AI than it is to blame Healthcare costs.

Want to increase jobs, wages and improve affordability for every American ?

Break up the biggest insurance companies. Make divest non insurance companies. They don’t need thousands of subsidiaries. That’s how they game and abuse the system and increase costs for all of us.

Call your senator and tell them to support the BreakUp Big Medicine Bill by @HawleyMO and @SenWarren.

If you want demonstrable proof that you’re immersed in the most powerful propaganda system in human history, just realize literally nobody can afford anything, which in previous eras woulda created revolutionary conditions but in this era is barely a topic of public conversation.

Powell: "The thing a good number of people on the committee are concerned about is the very very low level of job creation. If you adjust what has been the trend job creation over the past 6 months for what we think is the overstatement due to overcounting, effectively there is 0 net job creation in the private sector"

[David J. Bier @David_J_Bier]

That is insane: "Biden’s pardons eliminated roughly $680,000 in financial penalties owed to victims or the government. In contrast, Trump’s second-term pardons have forgiven criminal debts of more than $1.5 billion."

@DebtCrisisOrg Terrible. How is this even legal to have people change their plan based on a new SAVE plan then take it away? They should have grandfathered people into it.

Jon Stewart should run for president. Seriously.

Mark Cuban: Dems are “not offering any solutions and they’re certainly not saying ‘Break up the big insurance companies, break up the big hospital networks.’ At least if they said that, it would show that they understood what the hell was going on.” https://t.co/C8YllYKqTy

If we fined insurers and providers $100 every time they over-billed, incorrectly denied care or misrepresented any amount of patient out of pocket, we could pay of the national debt

They play on the fear and information asymmetry that exists in healthcare

Break them up. Make them divest non insurance companies. And when we are done with the insurance companies , we go to the hospitals and then to the pharma wholesalers. Break em up. Make the markets efficient again.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

I warned that private equity taking over Walgreens would be bad for workers.

This is the private equity playbook: they hollow out businesses, cheat their workers, and drive them into the ground.

Red Lobster, Toys "R" Us, and Joann Fabrics. Who’s next?
