This is an excellent editorial cartoon even though I do not find it in the least funny. This cartoon puts it’s point across with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer over the head.
I don’t know if this will be good or bad for their employees. On the one hand keeping wholesale cost of healthcare low means lower pricing for them the same way that Walmart controls wholesale to keep retail low for consumers, but on the other hand this could establish a “company store” situation for the employees whereby they become indentured slaves as is what happened back in the 1920’s. I worry it won’t go well without some form of regulatory oversight.
How is it that the United States is the only major industrial country that does not already offer its citizens universal access to healthcare? It’s truly an embarrassment and national disgrace.
Luckily for these guys Trump has cut their taxes, so they will profit off of your misery, and get to keep more of it. No more helping the little guy with health insurance or roads or fire departments for them.
It is an embarrassment and a shame that we Call ourselves the greatest nation yet we are the only nation that doesn’t provide the people with universal healthcare. We are not very Civilized in the USA.
at least they plan on getting rid of the 30% profit margin…as per news "Here’s what we know about the new venture
The new independent company will be nonprofit.To start, the focus of the company will be on technology solutions that will provide “simplified, high-quality and transparent healthcare at a reasonable cost.”The venture will be geared toward employees of the three companies, rather than healthcare consumers overall in the US, though JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon said that potentially, all Americans could benefit.The hope is to lower the cost of healthcare while at the same time improving health outcomes and patient experiences."

I remain optimistic about a Bezos-Buffet-Dimon collaboration. Can’t be worse, can it?

At least they are doing more for American health care than the Republicans are.
