No, DeSantis isn't really spreading C***D just to boost profits. He's doing it because he wants to be president

By THOM HARTMANN

This article was produced by Economy for All, a project of the Independent Media Institute.

It has to be a scurrilous lie. Seriously: nobody is that evil.

Although it is the sort of thing that we've come to expect, because our unique-in-the-world, for-profit health insurance system leaves Americans financially vulnerable to sickness but offers huge profits to companies and CEOs in the system.

Some cynical people are suggesting that the reason Florida's Republican governor, Ron DeSantis, is forcing teachers and children to sit for hours every day in classrooms with unmasked children is because he wants them all to get infected with C***D … to make money for a friend of his.

Seriously. There's that theory out there, and it's almost too evil to believe it could be true.


That DeSantis is intentionally trying to expose children, families and public school teachers to a deadly disease simply because it'll make a few million extra dollars for his largest donor, billionaire Ken Griffin, whose fund is one of the biggest stockholders in the company that makes the only available monoclonal antibody drug approved to treat C***D.

And, of course, it might also take out a few hundred unionized teachers, a bonus in any Republican's book.

But it can't be true that DeSantis is spreading disease just to goose health care profits, can it?

After all, when the federal government offered to give Florida billions of dollars to expand its Medicaid program to provide free health care for the state's working poor, then-Gov Rick Scott and later Gov. DeSantis said a firm "no."

Even though all that money coming into the state to pay for health care could have goosed up the profits of any number of hospitals and health operations Griffin could invest in, DeSantis still refused to expand Medicaid statewide. (He did eventually sign an expansion of Medicaid for new moms, but it's a pittance and arguably a shout-out to the forced-birth crowd.)

Far more likely is that DeSantis just wants to win the Republican primary for president in 2024 and thinks having the Trump "base" and Fox "News" on his side will get him there.

After all, having hundreds of thousands of Floridians suffer disability or die — bankrupting family after family — just to score points with Donald Trump and Tucker Carlson demonstrates all the manly cred he'll need. Right?

It's another danger of having a for-profit health insurance system that doesn't cover everybody, so when a corrupt governor like DeSantis uses death and disease for political manipulation families end up ill, broke and desperate — as are millions of American families right now.

Wh**ever's going on with DeSantis, we're not Brazil and we really do need to get past behaving like a third-world country where the boss-man plays games with deadly diseases for political gain.

The best way to do that is to finally join pretty much every other developed country in the world and put into place a single-payer health care system like Medicare for All.

Expanding Medicare is nothing more than lowering a person's requirements Financially, Squeezing them into a group of people, and lowering the quality of care.
As far as going worldwide, people in Afghanistan make $500.00 per month VS
People in Vietnam making $300.00 per month and so on VS people here making $2,400.00 per month and so on.
And then there's the Laws that differ in the 195 Countries around the 🌎.
This whole World Wide Community thing
is not capable of standing without some kind of Worldwide Constitution. And who would we name as Forefathers to write ✍
Something like that in our lifetime, and how would we administer such a thing?
It's just not possible to please all of the people all of the time or even half of the people all of the time.
Our for profit politicians are selling a bill of goods to distract us, while they fatten their own pockets.
I wish people would understand that .

Have you ever been part of a government run health system? I have....Canadia, Singapore and Australia. Although there are a few good things ($40 vasectomy) the bad far outweighs them. I've worked hard, I am happy to pay for private insurance, in exchange for superior quality of services. It's up to you to take care of yourself, not me. Ever been to the VA or Post Office?

You poor uninformed Soul. Medicare for old people is teetering on bankruptcy, and you think Medicare for all will work. I suppose your boy Joe could just print $ 100 Trillion more in monopoly money to pay for your brilliant idea.

We do have "medicare for all": All you have to do is go out and get a job and work hard at it so you will be valuable to your employer so that he/she will keep you on the pay roll if things get slow or will give you a good reference so you can easily find a new job when/if necessary. Keep up effort until you retire and you will get the benefits that you, like I have, spent your life building.
By the way! Medicare is not "free" after you retire. Basic Medicare only covers hospital bills and that has some pretty stiff deductibles. If you want doctor bills covered that costs $150+ per month with held from your Social Security check and there is still a deductible there. Prescription coverage... Deducted from SS check. You can get a private policy that covers doctor and hospital deductibles. My wife and I are both retired and on medicare. Cost of "free" medical care for the two of us---- approximately $800 per month. Believe me, you don't really want Medicare for all.
You want to see the cost of medical care go down drastically? Get rid of all medical insurance including Medicare and require that every body put a percentage of their income into a tax free medical savings account. It's a little thing called personal responsibility.
