Movement rallying for healthcare reform and justice for Luigi Mangione

[Elisabeth Potter MD @EPotterMD]

A nine week delay in treatment changed this patient's life forever.

She asked me to share her story.

This patient has Crohn's disease and was doing well on a medication that controlled her disease. Then, because of an insurance-related delay, she lost access to that medication for nine weeks.

During that time, she developed a rectovaginal fistula, an opening to form between her intestine and her vagina. She underwent multiple surgeries to try to repair it and they all failed.

She now lives with a colostomy.

This is why I push back when people describe delays in care as administrative issues.

They are patient issues.

By the time a medication is approved, an appeal is reviewed, or a policy is changed, the damage may already be done and the patient’s life might be impacted forever.

You can fix a process but you cannot always undo the harm.

Behind every delay is a person whose life may be permanently changed.

We cannot keep treating timely access to care as optional when the consequences are this real.

With the New York Health Act, New Yorkers would get more and spend less.

See which candidates support it, who are really fighting for it, and which are ok with New Yorkers suffering through our healthcare and affordability crisis.

The answer to skyrocketing healthcare costs isn’t to offer people loans and exploit them further.

For New Yorkers, the answer is guaranteeing everyone healthcare and saving them money by passing the New York Health Act.

🚨 Karen Friedman Agnifilo condemns the statements from some Luigi Mangione supporters who celebrated UHC CEO Brian Thompson’s murder at the NYC courthouse:

[Erik Uebelacker @Uebey]

LUIGI: Mangione’s team just filed a new motion, claiming Pam Bondi should have recused herself from the case because of her ties to the Ballard Partners lobbying firm.

A Ballard client? United Healthcare.

Just want to be clear that United Healthcare is responsible for around 10K deaths per year due to denied claims
