For once, we have a good news.
Portip: short stock. Pump bullets into CEOs. Profit from dump.
That’s an actual series of missions in GTAV

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.

Then they’re a monopoly, so we’ll split them back up in 20 years. And let this cycle continue again.
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.
Awfully optimistic of you to expect that it’ll be replaced by anything better.
I have mixed feelings. On one hand I can absolutely see m4a being awesome if implemented in the laziest way and I can see Trump winding up doing that purely for popularity (highly unlikely but not impossible). But I imagine it’s more likely to be like tricare and i imagine it would explicitly exclude politicized Healthcare like abortion, birth control, and gender affirming care.
US Healthcare is in a pretty bad spot as it is, any durable improvement would be an improvement nonetheless. Just like how the Affordable Care Act was a significant improvement over the wild under-regulated denial-fest that the pre-ACA insurance industry was
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??
It’s not stupidity, because over 99% of us didn’t have a choice. It’s greed. Greedy little piggy leaders of major systems designed to fuck over everyone but them.
I mean, the electorate keeps voting for people who won’t pass health care reform so… Yes?
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
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.
In the last primary who was calling for a switch to a single payer healthcare system? None of the candidates were talking about that.
Joe Liberman left office in 2013. That was 11 years ago.
What the fuck are you talking about about?
It was a private system with a public option, but 6 of 1, half a dozen of the other I guess.
Not only that , but voting for the people who are promising to make it even worse.
Propaganda told them to.
Are we stupid??
Yup.

Burn the industry to the ground.
Is it 0? No?
Have a ways to go then.
Same goes for number of biz execs/CEOs.
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.
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 :/
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.

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.
That was Anthem Blue Thingy that changed course, not UHC.
Ah yes thanks for that you’re right
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.
There’s a much lower likelihood that the ACA will be repealed in the near future.
Most of these ghouls only care about money, so maybe this will help
Why are they falling, the market can’t seriously expect the upcoming administration to regulate them.
