Well, that happened. Guess we've gotta fight for universal healthcare now, huh?

In the heat of the ACA chaos, remember this simple truth: None of this mess happens with universal healthcare. If you're done watching healthcare become a political bargaining chip every time the government faces a shutdown or budget cut, stop waiting and start acting.🧵👇

The core teachings of virtually every major world religion condemn excessive wealth accumulation and speak out against wealth inequality. And yet, look at where we are now. 😮‍💨

What he said 👇

Washington, we can have universal healthcare! @wholewashington.org wholewashington.org/actions/

Profit and greed are undeniably the root causes of the privatization of public systems. However, a larger systemic issue is at play: the lack of social safety nets leads to widespread poverty, forcing the public to submit to systems intentionally designed to prioritize and depend on labor & money 🧵👇

Remember, the system exists for us, not the other way round. We must own the system we created and contributed to.

When you feel powerless and hopeless, remember, folks 👇

For billionaires to become trillionaires, someone has to skip insulin. After all, how will the insurance CEOs afford their yachts?

Absolutely. Stabilizing premiums helps in the short term, but real progress means tackling the root causes and guaranteeing healthcare for all.

❌️ No more in-network or out-of-network ❌️ No prior authorizations ❌️ No denials ❌️ No expensive premiums ❌️ No copays or coinsurance ❌️ No deductibles ✅️ Everyone is enrolled. ✅️ Funded by taxes. Universal healthcare 🟰 Universal eligibility. Comprehensive coverage.

When people can see doctors, get medicine, and stay healthy without financial burden, the whole nation benefits—our workforce grows stronger, families thrive, and long-term healthcare costs go down. Good healthcare should be something every American can rely on.

We are going through a difficult time. Amid the mistreatment many face under the current system, we want to remind everyone that your worth is not defined by how much you contribute to society. Your basic needs should never depend on your financial status. 🧵

We just want the bare minimum. That’s all we’re asking for.

Help me understand — who’s this middleman saying no to something my doctor already approved? Huh? 🤬

"It's time for Cascadia to listen to the 75 percent of Oregon residents and 64 percent of Washington residents who support a single-payer system." "We can tax the immense wealth in our region and do the right thing." 👏👏👏

Amidst the ACA crisis, we need to ask a bigger question. Why do we have to pay so much for healthcare if we already pay taxes, and when countless research studies say it would be more cost-effective with tax-funded universal healthcare?

Helloooooo Vancouver, WA. We'll be in town THIS Sunday for our Volunteer Retreat! If you're looking for a way to join the universal healthcare movement, this is the perfect entry point. No experience necessary! We'll be at Loowit Brewery's event space from 11-4:30. RSVP in linktree. We can't wait!

Oh, isn't it wonderful to be known for being both merciless and ineffective?

Again, it's not that we don't have MONEY for healthcare. We don't have money FOR HEALTHCARE.

We need to stop trying to repair the malfunctioning system. It's time for a replacement. It's time for universal, single-payer healthcare for all. No more for-profit interventions.

Healthcare is a fundamental human right, not a commodity to be bought and sold. A society that ensures the well-being of all its members is not only more ethical but also stronger and more economically productive.

Again, if someone tells you we don't have money for universal healthcare, we do. 👇

No one can put a price tag on someone's life. Universal healthcare for all now.

If someone tells you we don't have enough funds for national universal healthcare 👇

The West Coast is moving toward single-payer healthcare! Oregon is actively pursuing a single-payer system, and California is launching state-backed insulin. Meanwhile, right here in Washington, we have two bills for universal healthcare introduced. 🧵

And there is an easy solution: Universal, single-payer healthcare. This is a system that: ✅️ Covers everyone, regardless of job or income. ✅️ Is funded by our tax dollars. ✅️ Already exists successfully in other countries.

Seriously, national healthcare is not a handout. It's a return on investment. You paid for it. Income tax, property tax, sales tax—all kinds of taxes—it's your money. You deserve a system that pays you back for your contribution.

The actions of health insurance companies are purely evil. It is even more disgusting how they scam vulnerable retirees who rely on a limited, fixed income. After working and paying taxes for over 40 years, retirees deserve a system that honors their contributions and PAYS THEM BACK.

This is compelling evidence: the obstacles to national universal healthcare are corporate money and greed. The issue is not a lack of funding, nor is it the efficacy of a national single-payer system. This current system was built by corporate interests to extract profit from our suffering 🧵

Another reminder that the whole thing is about making money at the expense of the patient's well-being and financial stability. In short, they make money off your SUFFERING.

The US lacks the substantial social safety nets common in the developed world. Other nations support their citizens with programs like national healthcare, pensions, free school meals, free or subsidized higher education, and accessible childcare, a list of benefits American taxpayers rarely see.

We would have more successful small businesses and flourishing artists, as people would be free to pursue their passions.

The time is now. We need a healthcare system that serves us, the American taxpayers. Not the oligarchs, the top 1%, and those who benefit from defending them. Universal, single-payer healthcare for all.

Love to see @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social endorsing @wholewashington.org! In her words “everyone deserves to have the care they need to live a healthy, dignified life” www.instagram.com/p/DOHllV0ARq...

Can't wait to sign up for Medicare for Y'all!

Let's get rid of the middleman and make healthcare accessible to every American. You pay taxes for the system—you deserve to have access and benefit from it.

Yes, this seems like an appropriate moment to push for universal, single-payer healthcare. Right? @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

Saying it loud for the people in the back, "we should be guranteeing HEALTH CARE TO ALL AMERICANS AS A HUMAN RIGHT."

Universal healthcare is not an expense, but an essential investment. A healthier population fuels ambition and motivation to contribute to society. That vital spark disappears when your people are sick and struggling.

What is so difficult to understand is why Americans have to plead to stay alive. Why do we need a non-medical organization's approval to access the care medical professionals deem necessary? 🧵

Yep, those of us who've lived abroad are well aware of what Americans are missing out on at home.

We were all given a price tag so they could monetize our illness.

Hey Everyone~ Tonight's our monthly meeting at 7PM Find out what we've been up to & what's ahead. October will be full of activity: *Legislative advocacy *Universal Healthcare Commission meeting *No Kings *And wow--so much happening in Clark County this month! wholewashington.org/event/all-vo...

The right to a healthy life and accessible healthcare should not depend on your financial status.

Real freedom means your worth is independent of your societal contribution. It exists when no economic barriers prevent you from living the life you desire.

Even $500/month is too much, especially considering we already pay taxes. We need universal, single-payer healthcare. We demand a system that is worthy of our hard-earned wages and taxes.

@sanders.senate.gov has been fighting for "healthcare for all" for so long, and yet here we are, still debating whether folks should go bankrupt for a broken arm.

If you also support universal healthcare for Washington State: @wholewashington.org
