As a hospital social worker, I saw a man with Ambetter insurance need a nursing facility but owe 50%—thousands per night. He and his family couldn’t pay, so he suffered. Medicare for All would fix this. #MedicareForAll #HealthcareJustice

Challenging the system is part of the job. Don’t confuse patience with acceptance. True advocacy is about continuous pushing against policy and resources obstacles for the client. That is an act of macro practice.

Social workers cannot place a “fix” on the client. Our job is to coach them to utilizing their own strength. The most empowering clinical strategy is to stop oneself from “fixing” the client. Practice more active listening, and less diagnosing.
