“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable. In the same way those who possess wealth and power in poor nations must accept their own responsibilities. They must lead the fight for those basic reforms which alone can preserve the fabric of their societies.”

-President John F. Kennedy, 1962

The leading cause of homelessness in the US is due to an inability to pay medical bills. Meanwhile, united healthcare made almost 100 billion this year in revenue, while denying over 30% of healthcare claims.

I don’t condone violence, but I cannot be surprised at the turn of events. Either health insurance corporations will find a way to take care of the American people, or they’ll find their own solutions.

So few are making any sense in our federal government. AOC is one who looks to have a common sense head on her shoulders.

From the article: "Ocasio-Cortez, who noted that Americans’ collective “pain” is being “concentrated” on the shooting, said people go homeless as a result of “the financial devastation of a diagnosis that doesn’t get addressed or the amount they’re going to have to cover with a surprise bill.”

“And when we kind of talk about how systems are violent in this country in this passive way, our privatized health care system is like that for a huge amount of Americans,” explained Ocasio-Cortez, who noted that she didn’t have health insurance until she was elected to Congress.

She later continued, “Health care in this country has gotten to such a depraved state that people are living with things they should never have to live with. And this is not to say and this is not to participate in that glorification but we need to understand that extreme levels of inequality in the United States yield high degrees of social instability.”"
