@ProPublica When Virginia passed a law limiting out of pocket insulin cost to $35 per vial, I kept getting charged more. I asked my insurance carrier about it and they said “that’s a state law but we are a national carrier” so they insisted they were not subject to the state regulation. I informed my local state delegate but never heard anything else about it.
@ProPublica My thoughts, there are more of us than there are of them and they can't control us if we don't cooperate. We have power in numbers, they know it + count on us not wielding that power. If doctors/nurses and patients unite, we could get them under control.
@ProPublica
Healthcare corporations have an outsized control of our lives. Instead of doing good, they suck the life out of us if we were ever to require their services.
@ProPublica it's almost like people who aren't your doctor shouldn't be making your medical decisions when they have a profit incentive to do so. Health insurance in the US is an absolute disaster by design and the people that it hurts most are those with the least.
