Big flag on the play here. I would say not even a yellow card, but a red card.
The conflicts of interest are glaring across the majority of members across both parties and lack of moral courage since 1996 by the Democrats and Republicans is disturbing in equal measure. Additionally, the reason the Committee to Protect Health Care does not unilaterally--fully--endorse Senate Bill 1506 and House Resolution 3069 as an organization is due to glaring conflicts of interest across the organization, well.
Paging America also marginalizes the dialogue about Single Payer.
Regarding the tidal wave of support for the National Improved Medicare for All bill—non-privatized Single Payer Universal Healthcare, we have to get back to understanding the gravity of the commercial health insurance investment bank industry Denial of Care Harm-for-Profit business model which is hard to do given so much else we are facing now. But as I believe: what has happened, and is happening, in healthcare and medicine is a lens into the other forces at work in our lives as Americans.
The plague of hypocrisy, amorality and greed across all parties and citizens is astonishing.
I read daily about the effects of “denials” and listen to people speak about the business model and it is extremely frustrating because public health academics (authors), young physicians, 2026 candidates and others are writing as if Denial of Care is a new thing.
In fact, Denial of Care has been the commercial health insurance investment bank industry business model for more than 40 years. (And, it’s still legal in the United States of America as of this writing.)
Despite our collective efforts since 1996 — as ethical medical professionals, investigative journalists, artists and writers — there seems to be little historical context and the very human element and pain is minimized—something it seems as if we need to keep alive during the AI takeover as Denial of Care Harm-for-Profit by AI has been normalized.
The nonchalance related to the scope and scale of preventable harm and death caused by a business model that deliberately obstructs medical care for profit is deeply, deeply disturbing. The body politic, and our human bodies, feel the primal hurt this nonchalance has imposed. Like a hairline fracture, the damage of Denial of Care just keeps traveling through our patients, our businesses, our families and our lives.
In court transcripts since 1996, defense attorneys who represent commercial health insurance investment banks often attack whistleblowers and plaintiffs who have witnessed or been the victims of Harm-for-Profit. They make the argument that “this is just the way we do business.”
To lawyers in the court room now who have graduated elite, prestigious law schools and to public health academics / authors claiming the reduction of prior-authorization is a “win,” we’ve been doing this on behalf of patients and medical professionals for more years than you are old and we have reported on and documented from the beginning the tragedies from “doing business…”
Ethical physicians try to educate lawyers in Denial of Care cases because they have no history or understanding of the systems involved and their evolution. Or, commonly, they do, and don’t give a damn.
Sadly, everything we have reported, produced and published on the Denial of Care Harm-for-Profit business model in the mid-1990’s is as relevant today as it was then. The big difference is that the haste, speed and greed is now magnified 1,000 fold.
We will continue producing and publishing on how amoral, unethical and frequently criminal the persons are who perpetuate and defend the Systemness of commercial health insurance investment banks and their corporate medicine accomplices. We will continue to ask all Americans to cut through the noise and ask: “Should our bodies be traded on Wall Street?”
As Americans cry out to Congress to pass Senate Bill 1506 and House Resolution 3069 in the name of humanity, who is complicit in justifying the preventable harm and death?

We know the answer.
