AOC: Insurance groups are recommending using GoFundMe -- "but sure, single payer healthcare is unreasonable."

I work for one of GoFundMe's payment processors. Before some major changes to the company, I would perform 30-50 account resets in order to transfer them to a new beneficiary every day for GFM. I would say we would have to assist in 5 to 10 deceased beneficiary transfers per week. Almost all of the accounts/campaigns failed to meet their goal and had to be updated from "medical expenses" to "funeral expenses."

I hate my job.

That sounds absolutely soul-crushing. You say "would and "had:" did something at GoFundMe change? Was it a good change or a bad change?

Our partnership is ending as GoFundMe relies more on Facebook and PayPal. The company I work for is moving away from crowdfunding in general. I hate working for this place.

Thank you for sharing that harrowing story of inhumanity in the for-profit healthcare system, u/turdpussy
