This is how for-profit healthcare works:
You pay a private company to help cover your healthcare expenses.
Your doctor has to ask this company before treating you.
The private company then decides if they will cover it. If they say “no,” they make more money.
It’s immoral.

My autistic adult daughter just said, "The only difference between Asperger's and autism was how well you functioned under capitalism. That's why billionaires still cling to the term."
"Asperger's" is an outdated, offensive term.
Hans Asperger was a eugenicist Nazi who called autism "autistic psychopathy", sent disabled kids to be euthanized, promoted "race hygiene" and "supported the Nazi goal of eliminating children who could not fit in w/ the Nazi Aryan ideal"
