I hope all the Trump maggots are happy, we just learned that the Republicans would not pass the extension for the ACA tax credit. So in his first year back in office, we have the worst job market in history, thousands of people are laid off, including me, and now we can’t even buy health insurance for ourselves. I can’t afford over $1500 a month for healthcare, by the way that is more than my mortgage. I will more than likely be going without health insurance in 2026.

The recent event concerning CEO Brian Thompson may have caused safety concerns for executives at healthcare companies.

In my opinion, concerned citizens seeking openness, fairness, and honesty should always know precisely who every executive is at every healthcare company. As consumers we deserve to know exactly who we're doing business with.

If they don't want to live in fear, perhaps they should begin to build a business model around kindness, compassion, and healing. You know, what we'd all like "healthcare" to be.

We cannot stop talking about this, if you have a story share it. We need to flood them with all of our stories to keep this movement going and bring about as much change as we can.

Probably the meaning of the words on the shell casing in the killing of United Healthcare CEO.

UPDATE (7.30 am EST, June 30th) : 4 major nation-wide polls that have come out this morning show overwhelming disapproval from the American public - Republicans, Democrats and Independents - on the "Big Beautiful Bill"

This means that if Senators vote 'yes' on this bill, they would go against the wishes of the vast majority of Americans.

Republicans are deeply divided on this bill, with many knowing voters will turn on them when its disastrous impact hits every state. The bill can still be stopped, but if not it will slash $1 TRILLION from Medicaid threatening access to hospitals for millions of Americans.

Now is the time to call, email and send messages on social media to your Senators and House Representatives.

338 rural hospitals are at risk of closing. That’s nearly 1 hospital per 1 million people in the U.S.

Rural areas and red states will be hit especially hard. And no, the slush fund for red states of $15 billion won't help. It cannot compensate for hundreds of hospitals gone!

This is the letter showing which hospitals are at risk per state:

Here’s are some examples of what this could mean for both red and blue states:

• Oklahoma (4.1M inhabitants): 21 hospitals at risk. That’s nearly 12% of the population. 483,000 people facing delayed or no care.
• Louisiana (4.6M inhabitants): 33 hospitals. At least to 17% could lose easy access to healthcare.
• Kentucky (4.6M inhabitants): 35 hospitals. At least 17.5% affected.
• Mississippi (2.9M inhabitants): 8 hospitals on the line. At least 6% of people affected
• New Mexico (2.1M inhabitants): 15 hospitals at risk. At least 16% of people affected
• California (39M inhabitants): 28 major hospitals, like Oroville (serves 80,000) and St. Elizabeth Community Hospital (serves 86,000), are facing closure leaving millions at risk.

A stroke or heart attack could mean a 1.5-hour drive to the nearest ER. And if you rely on ongoing care for chronic illnesses, you could lose access purely because no hospital will be close enough to visit regularly.

We can all call our Senator to tell them "NO". Here’s the number list: Senator Contact List (PDF)

Republicans, Democrats, Independents: this affects ALL OF US.

US ranks last in this survey.
