LETTER: Sucking profits from our pockets

»  Comments | Post a Comment

For-profit insurance companies are the problem, not the solution. Passing our money through the hands of middlemen so that they can suck profits from our pockets makes no sense — except to the
CEOs who benefit. No wonder they are busy creating fake “grassroots” support or scaring people into thinking that they — the for-profit insurance industry — are looking out for our best interests.

Every man, woman and child deserves access to health care. Do we continue to fund wars and harm people, spending billions, or do we create a people-focused society, providing “Medicare for all,” for
much less than the cost of any war?

As long as for-profit insurance companies are running the show, their CEOs will get richer and our citizens will continue to become poorer. What kind of world do we want to live in?

Without “Medicare for all,” we will continue to be at the mercy of for-profit insurance companies, we will continue to see premiums and out-of-pocket expenses rise, and we will continue to have worse
health indicators than any other industrialized nation.

We now take for granted Medicare for seniors. Let’s leave to our grandchildren the ability to take access to health care for granted. What a wonderful world it could be.
