fox 🦊🏳️🌈 @foxes.bsky.social · 04/10/2026At least I knew not to cite a bill that Democrats authored and passed to support a non-profit (Kaiser Permanente), as an example of the GOP passing laws to kill non-profit health insurance. Did you think Ted Kennedy (D-MA) was somehow a Republican? Or that KP is a for-profit or that HMOs dominate? 100
fox 🦊🏳️🌈 @foxes.bsky.social · 04/10/2026It's an especially weird claim since the bill is basically a subsidy for a non-profit healthcare organization (Kaiser Permanente) It's like saying Republicans are responsible for the amount non-profit insurance in this country and pointing to the Medicare Act. It's fractally wrong! 000
fox 🦊🏳️🌈 @foxes.bsky.social · 04/10/2026You're going to need to be more specific. That's a genuinely good, Dem-authored and Dem-passed (Dems controlled both chambers) bill that seems completely unrelated to the claims described in the picture. 200
fox 🦊🏳️🌈 @foxes.bsky.social · 04/10/2026this is, genuinely, extremely normal for rapidly growing companies. if your revenue is growing very quickly, then you can pay off any debt you take on today in a pretty short time frame. reminded of cory doctorow claiming uber wasn't and would never be profitable right as it became a money printer 240
fox 🦊🏳️🌈 @foxes.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I'm not sure what specific numbers you're looking at, but *providers* are majority non-profit today, and *peoples' insurance plans* should be roughly 50%/50% non-profit vs. for-profit. Republicans didn't pass a bill in 1973 (a year when Dems controlled Congress) that moved that needle. 000

fox 🦊🏳️🌈 @foxes.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Health insurance did not have to pay for very much for children in 1973: if your child got leukemia and badly needed healthcare, there were no expensive cancer treatments your child could get, they'd just die. $25 billion in profit today would be equivalent to <$1/month/capita in 1973 dollars. 100

Diet and exercise are great for depression but nobody accuses people of cutting corners for taking Zoloft. All evidence suggests these things are incredibly safe and effective. 8564
