Privatizing a business basically means adding an extra expense/tax to the business and customers. The payout to the shareholders.
Since 2010, profits of top health insurers have hit a collective $371 billion.
$120 billion was funneled shareholders.
Meanwhile, half of US adults say they can’t afford an unexpected $500 medical expense.
We do not have to keep living like this.

Health Insurers’ $371 Billion Windfall

Michael Moore has put up his documentary "Sicko" for free. As a Danish citizen I'm baffled of the existence of private health insurance. Think that, instead of just going to the hospital, I would pay a middle man to deny me care when I need it. #healthcare www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbEQ...

As the oligarchy begins to take shape, this meme seems more prescient than ever. They have convinced you that immigrants are your enemy while they pick your pockets at the same time, you’ve been duped. It’s the billionaires who are ruining this country,not migrants. Always has been. #RiseAndResist

1. In April 2024, California raised the minimum wage for fast food chains to $20/hour
The industry claimed it would be devastating & require significant job cuts and prices increases
Here is what really happened: workers got a raise, prices went modestly, and the industry continued to add jobs

What really happened after California raised its minimum wage to $20 for fast food workers
What would happen to the fast food industry if it had to pay its workers something closer to a living wage?

The next DNC chair should make two things clear: No super pac money in democratic primaries and not a dime of corporate pac money for the DNC. That is a basic first step to ensure our party represents working and middle class Americans.

The concentration of wealth in the hands of an elite few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.
When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, the American people don't have a voice.
The result is demagoguery and corruption.
