> It was vital to Taitt that Poppy be priced in a way that is affordable for all users, and so for each member paying the $29 monthly subscription price, the app is able to provide free access to one user who is receiving Medicaid.

What's the DEI equivalent of greenwashing? "Equitywashing"?

What a great idea, I think we do something similar here in The Netherlands trough taxation!

Dropping the sarcasm: our system is not at all perfect and without drastic changes quite unsustainable in the long term, but at least it's a controlled/controllable and distributive.

Slightly off-topic: It's starting to become quite expensive though. For context, I'll be paying about €2k this year for the cheapest (mandatory) health insurance I could find and my ADHD meds which I cannot do without.

the general term is "recuperation" - same as greenwashing, selling che guevara t-shirts, Kendal Jenner giving police a pepsi and so on.

Huh. I had heard about this concept but didn't realize it had a name. Thank you for the tidbit!
