Major Hospital In Black Community Set To Close Amid Pandemic | Ayman Mohyeldin | MSNBC
Demicrats have run the black population down for too long. Now we can see the party for what it really is. Liars and cheaters. Fear the white liberal
and now this is the reason why Trump administration wanted to do herd immunity…they know who are more to be affected…being a minority I see this on a constant basis
This is a most horrific and disgusting country. I’m so heartbroken over how my country cannot get better. I’ve lived through the 60’s and 70’s when I naively thought we were getting better.
INCREASE YOUR PROTESTERS
Is that a catholic hospital? Is that how catholic hospitals treat people from all walks of faith?
I told you, Trumpers were gonna retaliate against America. Expect more to come.
This entire community should be allowed to be first in line to get the Covid-19 vaccine (voluntarily of course). The people deciding to close Mercy Hospital must provide health resources for their Citizens
This is awful. Southern Georgia has been facing this same crisis of hospital closures. Closing hospitals, closing polling places. What a message that sends! Dispicable.
Chicago's poor money management.
This closure is racist BS 24/7
If people would stop shooting each other everyday and not paying the hospital bills they might be able stay open. Covid and closing a hospital is not racist stop with race baiting
MEDICAL IS A HUMAN RIGHT . PERIOD
TRUMP AND REPUBLICANS WORK FOR DICTATORSHIP COUNTRIES THAT OWN AND OPERATE COMPANIES HERE IN AMERICA AND BUY OUR REPUBLICAN POLITICIANS TO UNDERMINE OUR DEMOCRACY . WAKE UP AMERICA .
YES!! MSNBC has hidden a Federal Criminal Investigation of Hunter Biden from you for almost 2 YEARS!!! They KNEW and yet DID NOT tell you! I wonder what they would have done if it were one of Trump’s children??
The US needs Socialism.
I Hope The Sports Teams By It. Stand Up For The People
This is by design. Not accidental. All the black athletes, music artist, sports leagues etc it's time to put up or shut up. You want to help black people, partner up and buy this hospital. Create your own board and get this place together. NOW
Nearly 300k dead. Still no Covid Relief. Millions homeless at the end of the month, BLAME THE SENATE.
WTF these are Community assets and in the middle of a National health emergency.
America is fast becoming a 💩hole Country.
VOTE RED FOR🇺🇸 DAVID AND KELLY🇺🇸 FOR FREEDOM AND THE CONSTITUTION 🇺🇸PRESIDENT DONALD J TRUMP WILL WIN UNDER THE CONSTITUTION 🇺🇸 STOP THE STEAL🇺🇸 ✊😠 🇺🇸 AND REMEMBER STATE LEGISLATORS 👈 PICK THE ELECTORS🇺🇸 AND CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL REPUBLICAN WOMEN THE YEAR OF THE CONSERVATIVE WOMAN 🇺🇸 ✊😁
I agree the gov should buy the hospital and give health care to the people of Chicago
So when did this country care about gentrified black communities?!?🤔
And when the Biden administration, hopefully, gets better medical coverage for Americans, there will be no hospitals on the South side nor far South side to go to. Bet nothing's closing in Tinley park nor Orland park, just to name a couple.
Closed because it is not profitable enough.!!!
This is literally what happens when greed runs a country. THERE IS NO MERCY!
When materialism rules, sociopaths rise. I learnt a new word today "Pathocracy"
The black community wants everyone to think it's about them. It's not about you, it's about being able to AFFORD to keep the doors open. It's no different than any other business, and yes, a hospital is a business.
Pandemics, market crashes, etc show us just how stupid capitalism (with all of the inequalities it empowers) really is. This crisis would be much, much easier if we all had universal healthcare, tuition free education, internet for all and a UBI.
It would be easier still if we all had home, business and covered parking rooftop solar arrays, electric vehicles, indoor, outdoor and vertical food gardens in every home, business, school, grocery store, restaurant, public park and land, etc and if more of us studied and worked remotely from home.
Let’s STOP TRYING TO SAVE CORPORATIONS AND SMALL BUSINESSES with selective bailouts and instead simply put capitalism on hold (mortgages and loans, rent, interest, dividends, late fees, utilities, etc), launch universal healthcare, a UBI, universal education and internet for all! #NoCorporateBailoutsRequired
#TooFarLeft #StillSandersPlatform
Education is a good investment from an individual, family, community or national perspective and tuition free education will reduce the burden from the root on our medical expenses too for example.
Healthcare for all is actually CHEAPER with the insurance industry off of the table along with most of the time lost due to billing among many other reasons.
A universal basic income (UBI) is CHEAPER than all of the thousands of individual federal, state and local social safety net programs including things like Social Security and unemployment insurance, etc with all of their budgets, overhead expenses and inefficiencies eliminating the humiliating need for people to lose time to prove their poverty to qualify for aid.
Internet for all is a great and necessary investment to give everyone the opportunity to study, search for work, work remotely, etc online.
Solar power is CHEAPER and electric vehicles are soon to be CHEAPER to make and already are considerably CHEAPER to maintain and operate, especially if charged from your own solar power.
What do you think will happen to crime rates, peace and equality in general after we launch universal healthcare, a universal basic income, universal education and internet for all, raising the starting point of capitalism from zero, we’ll let you die with no money, to a level of life with dignity, reducing societal daily fears on a massive scale and freeing us to welcome the automation revolution with open arms rather than with fear and great harm? 😃 #EqualityMovement #BLM
Call me overly positive, but I think we’re leaving the era of ‘greed is good’ and celebrating wealth and entering an #EraOfAltruism and equality. Let’s #AutomateEverything and #SkipToAbundance.
