The Healthcare Dilemma: Selecting Patients for Profit

🚨 New Insights into Healthcare Selection! 🚨 Last week, the CFO of Universal Health Services (UHS) revealed that the company chooses patients based on insurance plans that offer the highest payments. #Healthcare #Ethics #Patients #Profit #UHS #Trend

Last week, the CFO of Universal Health Services (UHS), the country’s largest private psychiatric hospital operator, made a startling revelation. The company chooses which patients to treat based on whose insurance plans offer the highest payments. Do I need to repeat it?.. This candid admission has ignited a debate in the healthcare industry, but is it really something new? Type your…

love how aras will paint animal testing as this 100% cruel inhumane thing where the subjects are kept in dirty cages and tortured endlessly meanwhile at my actual animal testing facility we have to tell the professors to cut back on the enrichment items for the peanut butter lab because they've stuffed the cages so full of colourful shredded paper and hides that we can no longer easily locate the animals to do a health check without disturbing them

Guys, things are getting bad for people who take SSRI's. The shortages are intentional for capital gain. The FTC is open for public comment for only 55 days. It's time to tell them how drug shortages affect us!!

The upshot of A City on Mars is that most of our cool imagined spacefutures are not viable but to their point that it's almost never going to be cheaper/more efficient to bring in resources from outer space versus Earth, in space archives the exploration companies lobbied to reduce Earthside extraction so they could corner the market instead. Call that advanced greenwashing.

Poor babies. They use their patent power to literally EXTORT money from sick people, especially cancer patients causing people to lose their life savings simply to stay alive.

Now they wail that their obscene profits may drop a bit when they never should have been that high in the first place.

Can't even mention that a store near me is clearly using abusing the TFW program because they refuse to pay little more than minimum wage in a high cost of living area (also you won't get benefits and you'll only be part-time) because the fascists and right-wingers will jump in to say it's about immigration and white replacement.

No, it's because rich white people want to hoard even more money and found an intentional loophole to both make more money (via paying employees less) and also have more power over employees, employees who may or may not know Canadian employment laws (or safety laws) and even if they do, don't have the ability or support to try to hold the company accountable.

You can absolutely criticize the federal government for keeping the loophole open but it predates Trudeau by decades and it was Harper who both expanded the program and added a way for companies to fast-track TFWs. It was also under Harper that companies started firing Canadians (or not hiring them) and then requesting permission to mass-hire TFWs instead.

But the way the right wing talks, you would think Trudeau started this whole thing and the poor multi-million and multi-billion dollar companies are being taken advantage of. Also that housing prices, lack of new developments, and zoning issues started with Trudeau and are the fault of mass-immigration he has a boner for instead of being an issue for decades and experts warning this would happen if governments didn't act ASAP.

Instead the neolibs and cons kept cutting back and kicking that can down the road, a can that started being kicked by Mulroney and the Conservative Party.

The real DeSaster is what Ron DeSantis stands for.

An unofficial campaign slogan of DeSantis is “Make America Florida".

DeSantis' 2024 pitch: Make America Florida

Do we really want Proud Boys molls to be able to ban books across the country? 

Florida mom behind Amanda Gorman’s book ban linked to Proud Boys: report

Under DeSantis, Florida has become the state where sanity goes to die. 

It’s always easier to prevent DeSaster than it is to deal with it after it takes place. With the GOP enveloped in extremist hysteria over the past couple of decades, we’re never more than one election away from fascism.

Register and vote in every single election.

The new episode of The Million Movie Project Presents is here!!

I go a little personal here talking about the WGA and SAG AFTRA strikes in the need for AI regulation, in how I ultimately lost my primary source of income to it. It's not just something effecting actors, but is infecting every industry, and no ones jobs are safe. If we don't band together and support the strikes, unionize workplaces, and push for universal basic income (UBI) and universal healthcare not tied to employment, we're facing a living and employment crisis like the world has never seen (even worse than now).

Then, I even found some time to get around to discussing some film history, on how yesterday's musical is today's action movie.

Honestly kind of terrified how many of you will reblog a completely unsourced post on here about mental or physical health or even posts giving medical advice from some random person that clearly isn't a licensed medical professional.

Even more disappointed with how many of you will make a post about it just because you did a deep dive on the subject so now you're think you're an authority on it and you're helping.
