A Manifesto Against For-Profit Health Insurance Companies — by Michael Moore

I hereby give you my Oscar-nominated Documentary on the Killer Health Insurance companies like United HealthCare —SICKO — for FREE… and let’s end and replace this so-called “health care system” NOW. (...)

Here’s a sad statistic for you: In the United States, we have a whopping 1.4 million people employed with the job of DENYING HEALTH CARE, vs only 1 million doctors in the entire country! That’s all you need to know about America. We pay more people to deny care than to give it. 1 million doctors to give care, 1.4 million brutes in cubicles doing their best to stop doctors from giving that care. If the purpose of “health care” is to keep people alive, then what is the purpose of DENYING PEOPLE HEALTH CARE? Other than to kill them? I definitely condemn that kind of murder. And in fact, I already did. In 2007, I made a film – SICKO – about America’s bloodthirsty, profit-driven and murderous health insurance system. It was nominated for an Oscar. It’s the second-largest grossing film of my career (after Fahrenheit 9/11). And over the past 15 years, millions upon millions of people have watched it including, apparently, Luigi Mangione. (...)

One more time, now that I'm awake.

So now we have a person that, unlike Republicans who punch down and murder people that have nothing to do with anything, allegedly murdered a person who has everything to do with the people who are killing us.

I’d still rather have a less fascist and corrupt federal government capable of providing healthcare. We non-wealthy citizens don't need forced compulsory participation in insurance schemes that amount to national eugenics programs.

Niemand von uns kann wissen, ob er oder sie in 5 Jahren #flüchten muss. Gibt es (Pläne für) soetwas wie eine (globale) #Versicherung gegen #Flucht? Diese #Flüchtlingsversicherung könnte finanziert werden von Firmen, die in der #Rüstung und der CO2-Förderung Geld verdienen, ggf. auch durch die #Tobinsteuer, also durch Institutionen, die an wachsender #Ungleichheit und Konflikten gewinnen. Die Verteilung und Verwaltung könnte durch UNHCR oder so organisiert werden.

Nobody of us knows if or when he or she becomes a refugee during the next 5 years. So is there something like (a plan for) a global #insurance for people who are threatened by losing their homes? This insurance could be financed by companies earning money with #arms and #CO2, or also by #tobin tax, short by all institutions that make a profit on growing conflicts and #inequality. #UNHCR could organise and control this #insurance.

How climate change could cause a home insurance meltdown

California isn’t alone. Insurance companies in states like Colorado, Louisiana and Florida are paring down business to shield themselves from ballooning losses as climate change fuels more-intense disasters. Earlier this month, the insurance arm of AAA announced it would not renew some “higher exposure” home insurance policies in Florida, and Farmers Insurance announced it will stop offering new home insurance policies in the state and won’t renew thousands of existing ones, in part because of rising losses from hurricanes.

How climate change could cause a home insurance meltdown

It's increasingly expensive and difficult to get home insurance, as losses rise from climate-driven disasters such as wildfires and hurricanes. And the solutions aren't always politically popular.

At least that is over...

Spent a large part of yesterday fighting insurance companies, trying to insure the family chariots at a more reasonable price. It really annoys me that they never offer their best price at renewal, and then never discount as much as for new business, yet seem surprised when you tell them you are going elsewhere. Saved about £140 off the renewal quote, but what hassle.

Have I ever explained how much I hate finance, profiteering and capitalism generally?
