Healthcare is a social right, not a privilege to be rationed by corporate insurers and canceled by government fiat. The fight against the assault on social programs cannot be separated from the fight against the capitalist profit system.

Insurance works by the health majority paying in enough to cover the sick who need the care (not including the money going to greedy fucks making record profits off the premiums).

So if they kick people off who have “never filed a claim” they’re kicking the ones off who are helping support the whole thing.

Bet the plan is to claim the government can’t subsidize the cost anymore because there’s too many sick people, and shut it down.

    funny enough it also increase the cost for the ones still on the insurance, because theres less people paying into it now. the deductibles nad OOP are designed to discourage people from using the insurance chronically in pratice.
