What an odd headline to see as Americans decorate potatoes and rocks instead of eggs for Easter 👇

"US’s biggest egg producer’s profits triple as prices soar.

The DoJ is investigating, with Cal-Maine’s 👉 profits nearly eight times as high as at the start of the bird flu outbreak "

#Resist #ResistOfTheDay
Please copy and paste into the forms on the website of your members of Congress, then boost.

This #Republican Administration views #healthcare as a means to enrich corporations, and I want you to be loud and clear about a few specific things:

--Last week's boost of Medicare Advantage reimbursement rates is about boosting corporate #profit. Each year, #MedicareAdvantage plans cost taxpayers $83 billion more than Traditional #Medicare. This extra cost goes mostly to the private companies who administer these programs. These programs promised our government they would lower costs, then didn't. Giving these companies more in reimbursement will not improve health or shore up rural hospitals. It will enrich already rich insurance companies. In their budget reconciliation they are going to cut Medicaid. The poor will face cuts to their healthcare while the insurance companies rake in more money.

--Companies facing tariffs on medications or precursors for medications will pass these costs onto consumers. The companies will make money while millions of Americans each day face the dilemma of paying for food or paying for medications. This tariff whiplash caused by the Republican Administration cannot include medications or their precursors.

Please fight for the elderly and the working poor. Please talk about these issues every day, particularly with news media in Republican-voting parts of the state. Side with the people, not corporations.

nick:

you agreed #healthcare as #profit is wrong, bless you

you appreciated how #plutocracy (not #capitalism) corrupts the legislative process to continue being a rent seeking #parasite- not a #freeMarket

since we agree here, you need to take the final step with us:

where peaceful change to stop suffering and death for profit is blocked

then #luigi is *inevitable*

you don't have to embrace him

but you must accept him

because luigi is the symptom, not the root problem

@gocu54 @deepmud

"it doesn't give anyone the right to be the judge, jury, and executioner"

you're speaking of the "#healthcare" system that debilitates, bankrupts, and *kills*

for #profit

right?

i am not asking you to support #luigi

i am asking you, simply:

do you think there will never be pushback?

and if pushback through normal, legal means is stymied

by the parasites profiting here

via #corruption

do you think that pushback will just magically disappear?

please think on this:

those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable" -jfk

@remixtures You write: "their bosses, who want to maximize profit". The economic ignoramuses like you can't understand that #profit is the proof that the #business makes people more happy (less unhappy). Under #capitalism, the businessman can't make a profit, if consumers don't buy his goods or services. So you should read/listen to the real economists, i.e. #Mises and/or #Rothbard, and don't repeat the nonsense of #Marx or #Keynes. mises.org/library/book/lessons

A Trend I May Not Like

A few years ago, a very good primary care physician who I had been seeing for decades joined a national chain of medical providers called Village Medical. I have not noticed a drop off in the quality of services. But, there is a less personal feel than what I experienced with private practitioners for most of my life and I am a bit worried about the more distant future of medicine.

This morning, I received an email announcing my dentist is making the same move, joining a national group called High Point Dentistry. The email is written to reassure me: “So what’s changing? Just the name. We’re gaining added support, resources, and dental specialists that will allow us to enhance your experience.” The online ratings of other branches around the country are great. But, I don’t entirely trust online ratings.

Does this amount to a growing capitalist takeover of medicine by the U.S. corporate world? Will the future be more like “trickle down” medicine? Is less administrative work, reduced malpractice risk, or something else the incentive for physicians to join these chains rather than remaining independent? Even if the medical services are okay for now, I worry that may not remain the case after big business has captured a sizable majority of practices and decides to focus more on profit and less on patient care.
