In a new lawsuit filed by the ACLU, attorneys argue that a constitutional amendment promoted by Republicans in 2011 against the Affordable Care Act may actually overturn a trans healthcare ban.

British people, I cannot explain adequately what absolute hell the American healthcare system is. You know how people say: "at least in the US, you can get fast treatment. At least in the US, you can choose your doctor. At least in the US, you can get the most innovative treatment"?
Lies. All of it.
The US healthcare system excels at one thing only, and that's bankrupting people.

I'm an American, living near Chicago. My husband works for a large hospital chain and has #HealthInsurance that is among the best around.
He has Type II diabetes, w/ no complications (just needing pills 2x/day). I'm in my midlife, and our 25yo daughter lives with us, partly so she can keep getting her health coverage.
Our family regularly pays at least a few thousand dollars a year in extraneous medical costs (AFTER co-pay & including deductibles). Some years, it's as high as $5K (if we have any medical emergencies etc).
You do NOT want American privatized #HealthCare. We want YOUR system. We want our own #NHS.
(A reminder that more than 30M Americans have no health insurance of any kind, meaning that their "doctor visit wait times" are eternal.)
More and more #Americans are skipping #medicalcare due to money woes
The percentage of American adults who say they skipped #medical care due to costs rose significantly last year, hitting 28%. That's up from 24% in 2021 and 23% in 2020, according to a survey out this week from the Federal Reserve https://arstechnica.com/?p=1942011
This #NPR piece tells the nightmare story encountered all to frequently when paying for American #Medicalcare. I hadn’t heard of a #creditcard specifically crafted for desperate people lacking insurance coverage or unable to get procedure clearance in an emergency situation. The words cruelty and exploitation jump to mind
