Medical Industrial Complex

The average family health care insurance premium in 2016 was $18,764, meaning that Mark Bertolini from Aetna alone required 100% of the premiums from more than 2,200 families just to pay him in 2016. Of course, the “C-suite” of these health care insurers are loaded with other high-paid parasites who are just as busy gouging the young and old alike. 

This is a complete travesty and joke. Congress and the Senate, sitting on their deservedly low approval ratings, pretend they cannot do anything about it. Too complicated they say. Bullshit I say. Go after the obscene pay packages and profits of the insurance industry as a first matter of business. 

Then make it a crime for hospitals to bill people differently for the exact same services. 

 DYI:  Robinson – Patman Act or Anti-Price Discrimination Act enacted in 1936; All President Trump needs to do is enforce the law, that has civil and criminal penalties, health care prices would drop on average 75% (that’s NOT a typo!) 

That’s a no-brainer. Can you imagine if your mechanic had a secret pricing formula for every customer that was, literally, based on their maximum ability to pay?

Nobody would stand for it, it’s disgusting that we tolerate this when it comes to something as vital and necessary as our health and even lives. 

Fury, not tolerance, is what's needed now.
