30 Days of US Healthcare: How Do We Fix Healthcare?

Day 30

30 Days of US Healthcare

[danharding]

I’m with Jimothy. Not just with healthcare reform, on everything.

[JanelChristensen]

I really appreciate Todrick's response, especially since over the past couple months fans of John and Hank Green have been putting pressure on Johnson & Johnson and Danaher to improve access to life-saving tuberculosis medications and diagnostic tools. They've had success too! Imagine what your audience could do if you picked one issue and we all essentially shamed companies or our leaders into doing the right thing.

[MicroBlogganism]

Personally, I think we should hear Jimothy out

[robertmohr]

I am an emergency physician that is proud to support this message. I am in leadership within the American Academy of Emergency Medicine and I am dedicated to help physicians and residents learn how to regain autonomy in this convoluted system. Private equity over leveraged itself and is proving to be a paper tiger, but the vertical integration of United Healthcare is the next monster that we must fight. We can reclaim autonomy and bring humanity back to medicine without abandoning capitalism. Lets do this!

[mitsurugi]

I mean, when we think of how many people corporate healthcare let's suffer and die every year, Jimothy is being pretty reasonable.

I'm a nurse and I've learned so much about how screwed up our health care system is from you. We have work to do and I'm here for it! Thank you for making these!

[katejohnson]

Thank you for including a call to action after this long and brutal series. Thank you for talking about how corrupt the healthcare system is!

LET JIMOTHY SPEAK

Seriously, it's amazing how funny you've made such a serious and horrible topic, and I really appreciate ending with ways that we can help and a glimmer of hope that maybe one day we can fix this system. Incredible series and it's obvious how much care and effort went into it.

[HikaruKatayamma]

As someone who's been on COBRA coverage since July, and found that their insurance was deactivated because I didn't fill out a F**KING SURVEY, I feel that Jimothy has the right ideal.

As a fellow Jonathan currently applying to medical school now (fingers crossed 🤞🏻) I hope that myself and my generation of physicians and professionals can make a difference in this dystopian hell scape. Healthcare is a basic human right and not a luxury reserved for the wealthy. We need to do better.

Thank you Dr. Glaucomflecken for making such amazing content for everyone. I’ve been a fan for a couple of years and this was amazing!

[Msvalexvalex]

This whole series deserves to be submitted (and admitted) to the Library of Congress. BRAVO!

[Jamiedunford]

This is giving my vibes similar the the Green brothers and how they rallied nerdfighteria to pressure companies to lower prices for tuberculosis tests and treatment. I'm so for people actually getting vocal because of people like you bringing to light different issues

[jeebusthegreat]

Thank you for making this series. It's important to have an easily understandable format to understand these abuses. Most people don't know and having easily digestible information is vitally important to reforming healthcare in this country.

[IsyAweigh]

It's been absolutely brilliant. Validating as heck. I'm an old RN and longtime chronic & complex patient, and every bitter truth was like a bandage on a psychic wound for me. Been through it all, and you put words on it and role-played the worst of it so I could see it *outside* my head. Thank you.

[TheHeftyHiker]

"That IS the high road." replay all the episodes with Jimothy and think of all the awful drawn out hopeless deaths caused by his employer.

[celinetorres]

Went to the doctor today and spent half the consultation talking about you and the great work you do making us aware about what you have to deal with on your side of the system. This September series was amazing. Thank you so much for what your doing. Jonathan President!!!

[gracen]

Jimothy has a point, and I think Jonathan sees it!

In all seriousness, I’ve been telling my story for years and keep being accused of whining or being ungrateful for what little help I did end up receiving. It’s good to finally feel heard and understood rather than just being told to suck it up. Thank you.

For those in Maryland, please contact your state senators and delegates. There was a bill in both the state house and state senate last session to make it a lot more difficult for insurance companies to pull the prior auth bs. It didn’t make it through either the house or senate but it’s really important we tell our state reps we need this. It’s a start.

[dimitri]

I like, approve and fully support the energy Jimothy brought to this meeting.

[Maremanare]

Omg Jonathan!! How I missed him!! 🥺😭😭 You saved the best for last!! I loved this series so much! Dr. Glauc!! As depressing as this series was it was worth the watch and we are all Jonathans at heart heart!! 🥺💖♾️🔯♾️
