[Health Over Profit @H_O_P4E]

At a time when folks desperately need access to care, our for-profit system is closing hundreds of rural hospitals bc they're not "profitable" enough.

We can do better. We have to: #MedicareForAll

[Allen’s Mom @cloudess]

@HealthcareUS My son, Allen, died 5/11/2018 after being denied SSD and having to ration his insulin. @PhRMA is allowed to gouge insulin prices in the US, other countries have fixed prices. His insulin was $2k/month. I watched him die and now live without him. The system is broken
