It's not a simple matter when your insurance company denies a claim. You then become responsible for paying for your health care after spending thousands of dollars on insurance premiums. But it should not mean that you lose your life.

Do you want war or do you want health and child care? Pres. Trump said the feds can't support Medicare, Medicaid, and child care because of the cost of war. He said the states should cover care. #healthcarenotwarfare #singlepayernow

Our Mexican neighbors are expanding their health care system to give everyone access to free health care. The rollout began April 9. So our neighbors to the north and the south have universal health care, while we have a war and Americans get sick and die because they cannot afford health care.

New ACA plans could increase deductibles by $31,000. That means you'd have to have $31,000 in health care costs before your insurance kicked in. Plus you'd have to spend a lot of money on premiums, as well. It's time for #singlepayer #Universalhealthcare. Stop the madness!
