Sounds like tHe mARkEt thinks something will gut the industry. But there is no indication of actual real change happening. So what’s going on?

Good. Burn it all down and replace it with universal healthcare.
Like every other modern country! They all get better care for less money!!!
No, you see, America is bigger so it won’t work for some reason
Just ignore economies of scales you little working class peasants. That doesn’t work here.
Sorry, best we can do is to merge them all into one.
Then they’re a monopoly, so we’ll split them back up in 20 years. And let this cycle continue again.
Awfully optimistic of you to expect that it’ll be replaced by anything better.
If I don’t have even a shred of optimism my mental health would be x10 worse. I need it, swiper no swiping. 🙃
Aw maannn
but I wouldn’t leave replacing them off of the table…
Trump wants his solutions. It’s gonna be hard figuring out what solutions currently in place will be allowed to stay.
An entire industry built on taking money they didn’t earn to deny the care our doctors prescribe for us… Are we stupid??
I mean, the electorate keeps voting for people who won’t pass health care reform so… Yes?
Propaganda told them to.
Those people are the only options on the ballot though. We can’t vote for something that’s not an option
The fuck are you talking about? First of all, primaries exist. Secondly, with only a few notable exceptions, Democrats favor single-payer. The original ACA was a government healthcare bill with a private option but Joe Lieberman was the holdout and gutted it. Stating otherwise is intellectually dishonest and deliberately ignorant, or at worst a malicious rewrite of history.
It was a private system with a public option, but 6 of 1, half a dozen of the other I guess.
worse, we vote for healthcare reforms that would take us back to when no one poor got any care at all. we elected our own killers
Not only that , but voting for the people who are promising to make it even worse.
Are we stupid??
Yup.
Good. Shareholding and profiteering off healthcare should not be a thing. It should be a government service not a business, although I’d bet a million dollars I don’t have, that it won’t happen under Trump. And if it ever does happen, they had better fucking plan it to be rock-solid against ruthless cutthroat cheating grifters like him.
Is it 0? No?
Have a ways to go then.
Same goes for number of biz execs/CEOs.
Burn the industry to the ground.
What shit timing for this… Imagine if this happened like a year ago. Maybe Democrats could have actually had a reason to be pushed to talk about this… Seeing how even Magoos were happy the guy got killed maybe things could have been different.
We live in the stupid timeline though so somehow this will just get worse :/
Had a reason? They already had a reason. They had thousands of reasons. Thousands of Americans dying due to the shit industry. Is that not a reason enough for Democrats?
They always had the excuse of “people love their healthcare!” That’s the line that was always trotted out. It would be pretty difficult to keep that line when we’re literally executing healthcare CEOs and having a positive nationwide reaction to it.
If journalists would actually do their proper duty for the population and not their masters (lmao) they’d start pushing representatives on the topic as it relates to the response.
(Instead though we get articles like “Bad luck Brian was the working class hero, not Luigi” from the NYT. 🤮)
Bernie’s Medicare For All plan has been out there close to a decade now and I would argue that proposal is a huge part of his popularity. Democrats knew that and they told him, and by extension his supporters, to go fuck themselves. They know people want this but they don’t care.
1/3+ of the party wanted Bernie. Twice. And they couldn’t be arsed to talk about it, his primary policy position. They’re still not taking about it. Too much donor money involved for them to give a shit what their voters say.
Dems killed off single-payer years ago. Obamacare was designed to be dogshit under their watch. Sorry friend, we both are in the sufferin’-timeline where the DNC never does anything but crush any chance at progressive policy that could “hurt” their rich donors
That not entirely accurate. Just a wander through the wiki on the history of the ACA shows what happened, both the efforts and roadblocks, the improvements to what was before, as well as the limited time frame.
There’s a much lower likelihood that the ACA will be repealed in the near future.
5 to 13 percent isn’t a big deal really. I bet it’s not even due to what article implies. investors don’t care about public perception, they’re worried that UHC changed course on a lucrative planned policy (restricting anaesthesia) and might do so again impacting profits.
Wut?
U.S. regulations have three levels of a circuit breaker, which are set to halt trading when the S&P 500 Index drops 7%, 13%, and 20%.
Granted that’s the main market index not an individual security, but a 5-11% drop is significant. Iirc the last time it ended the day’s trading for the S&P was the start of COVID, when investors ran a fire sale liquidation because nobody knew if the whole world was going to die.
A downswing is a hurdle to recover from in raw math terms, and represents a bigger blow to vibes based trading, especially given the legislative (virtue signaling so far) action on anti-trust, or the current popular sentiment against insurers.
That was Anthem Blue Thingy that changed course, not UHC.
Ah yes thanks for that you’re right

Most of these ghouls only care about money, so maybe this will help
How do I know this is legit?
you be the judge
have a nice day
Why are they falling, the market can’t seriously expect the upcoming administration to regulate them.
The wider left is in dire need of a big Win.
