Chris Murphy: " Nobody seems to be able to make economic sense of these tariffs, and there's a reason for that.  He's going to use the tariffs in order for every company to have to come to him, kiss the ring, bend the knee, pledge loyalty ."

The thing is, I feel like if someone truly, accidentally, & unintentionally made a n*zi salute on a national stage, they would be appropriately horrified by it and apologize. And when they don’t ….. it says everything.

Only half of the money spent on prescription drugs goes to the companies that discover, develop, and manufacture them. A new study by BRG sheds light on intermediaries’ impact on cost of medicines despite no contributions to research, development or manufacturing.

When they talk about privatizing Veterans’ care and Medicare, they mean allowing companies to provide healthcare for a profit.

But how do companies make those profits? By *denying* care to many who need it.

Don’t get fooled by the “privatization” label. It means “for profit” and YOU are the cost.

Have you heard this really good news?

UCSF scientists have developed a molecular GPS to send immune cells into the brain to kill tumors without harming healthy tissue.

They also used the cells to tamp down inflammation in a mouse model of multiple sclerosis.

Why do they make so much money? It's because the more claims they deny, the more money for the stock holders

I don't condone the muder of Brian Thompson but we also need to focus on victims of the healthcare system.

Insurance companies could reduce hardships for families with severe health issues. But many are responsible for more deaths than war criminals.

We need better healthcare in this country.

Good morning and Happy Friday to everyone who has paid into Social Security their entire adult life and is determined to make sure Republicans keep their filthy fucking hands off of our benefits.

Same goes for our Medicare and the Affordable Care Act.

You may not understand why, but the healthcare insurance and PBM contracts YOU have signed for Tesla, SpaceX , @X, along with CEOs of other big companies , have more impact on healthcare costs and quality of care in this country, than anything you can do with DOGE

My point is where are the headlines bringing to light the track record of UnitedHealthcare denying care that should be covered.
