    And fuck healthcare becoming more and more close to being monopolized. All these big, for-profit (somehow they manage to claim and get away with claiming that they’re not for profit, but really…) companies taking over all of the hospitals. You can hardly avoid a Christian hospital here in Seattle these days. Seattle! Aren’t we supposed to be like the progressive bastion? But almost all of our hospitals are now Christian, which means good luck getting any abortion care there.

    And when these bigger companies buy out the smaller ones, they squeeze the doctors and the nurses for all they are worth. Resulting in terrible outcomes and worse pay for staff and worse outcomes for patients who are being seen by overworked, underpaid staff.

    Healthcare in this country is a dystopian nightmare and only getting worse over time.
