NPR Spoiler: American Healthcare is Broken
🔥 NPR JUST DISCOVERED HEALTHCARE IS BROKEN. WELCOME TO 1973. 🔥
“U.S. health care is broken” NPR declares, like they just invented journalism. One year after Brian Thompson got shot, they noticed the system doesn’t work. Groundbreaking.
Here’s what NPR calls news: UnitedHealth stock down 44%. Half of Americans can’t afford healthcare next year. Premiums skyrocketing. Congress letting ACA subsidies expire.
You know what they buried? The part where “every segment of the health insurance business right now is stressed.”
Translation: Even the vampires are complaining about the blood supply.
Wall Street is panicking because UnitedHealth isn’t the “safe place to put your money” anymore. Cry me a river. You built a business model on denying chemotherapy to grandmothers. Now you’re shocked when the market notices corpses don’t generate recurring revenue?
NPR quotes analysts wringing their hands about “volatility.” You know what’s volatile? Being told your cancer treatment isn’t medically necessary. Having your insulin rationed. Choosing between rent and prescriptions.
The article mentions consolidation letting hospitals raise prices. What it doesn’t mention: Those same consolidated systems are the ones dropping Medicare patients, closing rural facilities, and turning ERs into profit centers.
“Neither the people it’s supposed to serve nor the people making money from it are happy.”
No kidding. When your business model requires human suffering to generate shareholder value, eventually you run out of humans willing to suffer quietly.
I survived brain cancer at 21. The system tried to kill me with bills after cancer failed. That was 30 years ago. It’s gotten worse.
NPR acts like this is breaking news. We’ve been screaming about this for decades. The only thing that changed is Wall Street finally noticed the Ponzi scheme is collapsing.
Your move, NPR. Stop treating healthcare collapse like a stock story. Start treating it like the humanitarian crisis it’s been since before you noticed.
Drop your “the system is working as designed” story below. Every share reminds media that we’ve been here all along.
Are you new here? My condolences and my thanks. Follow along and stay loud with the rest of us. More voices means more pressure on a system that counts on silence.
