Whether it is unchecked A.I. replacing nurses, hospital execs pulling 8-figure salaries while patients crowdfund their care, or people rationing insulin while big pharma posts record profits; this isn't left vs right. It's the ultra-wealthy vs everyone else.

His three month salary for being absent was fully paid AND he didn't lose his health insurance. How many others can say the same if they just didn't show up to work for three months and refused to let their employer know why they weren't going to work?

screenshot from article: It is often the insurers, not the therapists, that determine who can get treatment, what kind they can get and for how long. More than a dozen therapists said insurers urged them to reduce care when their patients were on the brink of harm, including suicide.

All the while, providers struggled to stay in business as insurers withheld reimbursements that sometimes came months late. Some spent hours a week chasing down the meager payments, listening to hold music and sending faxes into the abyss.

Wow, what an honor I will never forget - speaking on the steps of the NYS Capitol building surrounded by hundreds of medical professionals, advocates, caregivers, and patients to fight for the NY HEALTH ACT - a bill that would replace private insurance in NYS with a single payer system that covers ANYONE living in NY regardless of employment status, immigration status, race, gender identity, etc. Simply put, healthcare would center CARE, the way it should be and already is in EVERY other developed nation in the world. Please read up on it and have a conversation about it. The people united can never be defeated. Thank you to @pnhp_nymetro @caringmajorityrising and everyone who works everyday to get us closer to making this a reality. And to @michael_saruh for always supporting me at my side. Thanks to all the Senators and Assemblymembers who gave us time today, and a reminder to be bold and make the choice to center PATIENTS OVER PROFITS.
