38. Much better healthcare? For who?

Sun Nov 9, 2025, 02:45 AM

Sunday

You get some money, but the insurance companies are free to decide how much your healthcare costs.
It's just another scam to move money into the hands of big corporations, but this time we are the intermediates.
Want to bet how little the money the government provides in terms of actual healthcare needs.
Just another scam.
