Here is an article on how the American Medical Association helped entrench private health insurance in the US after WW2. By branding national insurance “socialised medicine” and promoting private plans. It shows how well-funded interest groups can shape opinion and policy. https://academic.oup.com/qje/article/141/3/2147/8669893 #healthInsurance #healthCare #healthHistory #history #medicine #USA #USHistory #publicHealth #AMA

#ACA enrollment in #NewMexico actually went up in the past year, when it went down in almost the entire #UnitedStates. I have no idea why. #healthinsurance

Uncle has an electric wheelchair which was deemed medically necessary and paid for by his insurance company. He is much less mobile now than when it was approved. It's broken. The insurance company won't authorize a repair until Uncle's doctor writes a "prescription" for the repair and sends it to the company that services the chair. I've been asking the doctor's office for weeks to send the prescription and they've been ignoring me. This is some serious bullshit. #healthcare #healthInsurance

RE: https://federate.social/@jik/116677781610561852 I want to update people on the saga of Uncle's durable medical supply company, doctor, and health insurance company all at best incompetently failing and at worst intentionally conspiring to deprive Uncle of the glucose sensors he needs to survive. #healthcare #healthInsurance #collapse 1/?

Oh my, 2026 is definitely the year of transitions for me. Not only am I retiring small loans from my parents and ex that I am no longer in contact with in a couple months, but I've decided I'll be coming off Medicaid (state health insurance) when my current plan ends at the end of November. I'm currently in what they call the "buy in program". Basically I earn too much public benefit to qualify for Medicaid, but as long as I earn something in a plan year, I can pay to play. I'm fully disabled with no income, and so this has to change. It does mean incurring new costs, but it simplifies things too, as some medical providers will not work with patients who have Medicaid in their profile. It also stops my guilt and head trip that I briefly had minimal income when first qualifying for the buy-in program a couple years ago, but haven't since. Very excited at all this self discovery and evolution I'm personally invoking! 😀 #LifeTransitions #Medicaid #HealthInsurance

Private Equity bros that I have complained about after they purchased the large medical practice that has my PCP, that they have sinced gutted, de-staffed, pulled all the money out of, polluted with call centers and Automated help, and are killing, just sent a referral for care that I do not need that, have not requested that they get a financial cut from, that was digitally signed by my doctor, and he was not aware of, nor requested or approved, and we both are pissed now. A year or so ago, they did this shit with the mail order colon cancer testing kits that is not recommended for me because I have had polyps removed regularly since I was a teen because colon cancer runs deep in the family, and I get regular, advanced colon cancer screenings. They ordered them for every patient in their large, multi-state practice... This time from an LLC that the investment bros own. This is the real #Medicare #Medicaid #HealthInsurance fraud that goes on.
