Regardless of political position or background, most people can agree that our current American system of healthcare is in a disastrous place. Care
is expensive, hard to access, and convoluted, and there aren't many streamlined, accessible resources to help people navigate this space. There have been many proposed changes to our healthcare system, and proposed new systems that would hypothetically take the place of our existing one. But what would it really take to see a meaningful improvement? The Tangled Knot of American HealthcareArguably the biggest issue here is that American healthcare is a tangled knot of different systems, resources,...

| June 24 | Guardian Staff
The US supreme court agreed on Monday to decide the legality of a Republican-backed ban in Tennessee on gender-affirming medical care for transgender minors, as the justices waded into another contentious issue implicating LGBTQ+ rights. They
took up an appeal by Joe Biden’s administration of a lower court’s decision upholding a ban on medical treatments including hormones and surgeries for minors experiencing gender dysphoria in Tennessee. The court will hear the case in its next term, which begins in October.

California owes the federal government tens of millions of dollars for incorrectly claiming medical care reimbursements for noncitizens, a federal audit found. The
Golden State must repay nearly $53 million to the federal government after it “improperly” claimed reimbursements from the Medicaid program for illegal immigrants and other noncitizens, according to a recent report by the Office of the Inspector General at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The findings emerge as California grapples with a massive budget deficit in the tens of billions of dollars. ... The issue surrounds how California officials calculated federal reimbursements for noncitizen...

Nolte: Gavin Newsom Backs Off Stupid $25 Minimum Wage Healthcare Law
|

Breitbart ^
| 05/28/2024 | JOHN NOLTE
Gov. Gavin Newson (D-CA) is backing off a law he passed mandating a $25 minimum wage for healthcare workers. As
a Wall Street Journal editorial points out, Newsom is only doing this because the state feels the burden of this stupid law. California has already pummeled private businesses with stupid $20 minimum wage laws, which remain in place. But… Since the fascist state of California picks up much of the state’s healthcare tab, Newsom is backpedaling: The editorial board of the Wall Street Journal wrote: The state’s budget deficit has ballooned to $45 billion. Mr. Newsom projects that the new...

The nation’s largest healthcare provider wants its Covid unvaccinated doctors back

| 05/25/2024 | Andrea Widburg
Kaiser Permanente is America’s oldest HMO and largest healthcare provider. It’s
a superb institution but is suffering the consequences of embracing the leftist COVID narrative. As a sign of its retreat from its COVID dead-end, it’s now trying to get its unvaccinated doctors back into the fold. For 33 years, I’ve been a completely satisfied Kaiser patient.* I’ve never received anything but good care from the people who work there, whether doctors, nurses, physical therapists, receptionists, pharmacists, or anyone else. I also think it’s a fantastic model of how medical care can be done well and affordably. Kaiser is named...

Florida passed a law requiring hospitals to publicize the costs of unpaid care for migrants, and the reports thus far show that the loss to the state’s hospitals is a massive $566 million just in 2024 — and taxpayers are picking up much of that loss.

In our final Monday Lineup, we expose a second round of sexual predators from the Northeast – all of them found inside the abortion clinic, with a state license that gives them access to the very women they have shamelessly attacked. Sexual
abuse is not healthcare, and neither is abortion. BOTH are criminal. Meet Roger Ian Hardy, last seen fleeing the country after 30 years of sexual abuse, cover-ups, and silenced victims came to light… Much of the abuse perpetrated by Roger Ian Hardy could have been stopped if state officials would have taken victims seriously and if medical professionals...

The Deconstruction of Healthcare in America Continues
|

April 28. 2024 | Self
Made an appointment to see a medical specialist affiliated with a large hospital and teaching institution located in Tampa, Florida. The appointment was made two months in advance, the office was that far booked up and its services apparently that much in demand. On
the day of the appointment, I arrived twenty minutes early, produced my insurance and identity cards, and was given a portable tablet to complete some documentation. Just about everything I had to electronically sign on the tablet was about disclosing my personal medical history to anyone who asked for it, and agreeing that anything done to...

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, America First Legal’s (AFL) lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) unearthed new documents regarding a radical presentation and plan distributed internally by Assistant Secretary of Health “Rachel” Levine on “Measuring Sex, Gender Identity, and Sexual Orientation.” These records reveal that the Biden Administration
is trying to radically change governmental data and statistics on sex in the name of “gender identity.” AFL obtained these documents through litigation against HHS to enforce a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for Assistant Secretary Levine’s communications regarding pediatric “transgender clinics,” otherwise known as the genital...

The US Supreme Court on Monday ruled that Idaho can enforce its ban on sex changes for children. Healthcare
professionals can face up to 10 years in prison for mutilating children or providing puberty blockers to them. In December Judge Lynn Winmill, a Clinton appointee, ruled that Idaho could not enforce the transgender ban while the lawsuit by two plaintiffs made its way through the courts. The US Supreme Court 6-3 granted an emergency request filed by Idaho’s Attorney General. Idaho previously enacted the Vulnerable Child Protection Act which protected children from dangerous puberty blockers and procedures that remove body...

President Joe Biden took on a heckler who interrupted his speech at the D.C. train station, then joked that the man could probably best him in a fight. Biden
grew fiesty immediately after touting provisions in his American Rescue Plan that had the 'biggest investment in childcare ever.' At that point a man briefly interrupted his remarks, pegged to 'care workers recognition month.' 'I tell you what - You want to come make a speech or shush up, okay?' Then, Biden added, 'He looks like he could take me,' drawing a laugh from the crowd of supporters. He quickly moved...

The man had considered removing the two fingers himself. A
Canadian man had two healthy fingers amputated to treat his “body integrity dysphoria,” a case report about his procedure reveals. The 20-year-old ambidextrous man experienced “profound distress” over his left hand’s fourth and fifth fingers and decided to have them amputated, according to the case report, which was published March 27 in Clinical Case Reports, an open access medical journal. Body integrity dysphoria is the rare phenomenon of individuals wanting to amputate parts of their body, usually limbs, often because they feel the body part does not belong to them....

We all know life has gotten more expensive lately… but has anything provided more sticker shock than healthcare? Health
insurance premiums rose 7% last year. Medical costs are expected to rise 7% this year after increasing 6% last year. And I’ve exclaimed “What?! That can’t be right!” after receiving a medical bill or checking out at the pharmacy more times than I can count. Yet my doctor friends claim they make less money and spend more time doing insurance paperwork than ever before. I felt bad that one of my physician friends recently had to spend time fighting with my...

Healthcare rapists As shocking as the revelations about mass rapes of women and children by UN “peacekeepers” and “teachers” may be, even more distressing is that UN employees supposedly dedicated to healthcare have carried out those very same atrocities and are led by an actual terrorist. As
Frontline News previously reported, the World Health Organization (WHO), a UN agency, is headed by a terrorist who keeps rapists and pedophiles on staff giving them the power to abuse the poorest people in the world. He even flies these staff members to towns in the developing world, with fancy rental cars and...

Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra refused to explain Thursday why “hardworking Americans should pay” for foreign lawbreakers’ healthcare when grilled by Wyoming Sen. John Barrasso. Barrasso detailed how cities are being overwhelmed by illegal immigrants draining their resources and putting a massive strain on health funds and infrastructure,
noting Denver Health saw more than 20,000 illegally present foreigners seeking medical care in 2023. Denver Health is “at a critical, critical point” as costs pile up, CEO Donna Lynne said, according to Becker’s Hospital Review. “Can you please explain why it is the responsibility of hard-working American...

Our government obsesses over the number of uninsured while insured Americans die waiting for health care. Numerous
recent articles advise investors which healthcare stocks to buy and which ones to avoid. Other economic reports confirm healthcare as one of the fastest growing segments for jobs in the economy. These writings fail to report that as stockholders profit and as more healthcare jobs are created, patients suffer and die due to the seesaw effect. Stocks and Patients A 2020 study compared ten-year (2007–2017) performance of top healthcare stocks to patients’ access to care. The time period extended from before the Affordable...
