A few minutes ago, we posted something on our mastodon profile, reading as follows: Aaaaaaaah! capitalists I get to hang up on. I just got told, and I quote, “This hospital doesn't take medicaid, they only take insurance.” I can't even. This is in relation to a call we recently got from our doctor's office. Our primary care doctor's been transitioned over to a different clinic. A clinic, the person on the other end claimed, as I mentioned above, that “They don't take medicaid, they only take insurance.” This upset us for several reasons.

Insensitivity

It's rather insensitive to claim that medicaid isn't insurance because we don't pay for it.

It is insurance, actually

It is widely spread that medicaid is, in fact, insurance, for those who have trouble paying for quote, real insurance.

Expensive

Not all insurance providers have to charge hundreds of dollars to be considered insurance. We say this because we've seen posts on the mutual aid forums requiring hundreds of dollars for insurance funding. The people who have the insurance you so proudly wave about can't even pay for it, and it's not going to get better. But hey ... that's the capitalist nation for you. This has been #cynical #ranting from the cadence Collective. Hope you've enjoyed, by some miracle, our second blog post in one day.
