    Yes, and this is part of the reason why I think we should have Medicare4All available to everyone - to guarantee oyr government agencies are working diligently for the public health’s best interest. It’s kinda hard to sue for cancer, Erin Brokovich style, if you never get diagnosed with cancer in the first place because you couldn’t afford to see a doctor, get tested, or get treatment. And I’m almost certain this is a major reason corporations don’t want us to have it, along with it forcing us to work and/or join the military for healthcare. They don’t want more class actions.

    And it’s bullshit because the money from those class actions isn’t even enough for the medical side. But it should pay for all the medical stuff, AND THEN SOME, for shortening our lifespans and pain and suffering
