About author(s): Thom Hartmann is a four-time winner of the Project Censored Award, a New York Times bestselling author of thirty-two books, and America\'s #1 progressive talk radio show host.
It\'s time for America to join every industrialized country in the world and make health a right, not a privilege.
Hartmann outlines the extraordinary benefits this system would provide the American people and economy and the steps we need to take to make it a reality.
There is a simple solution: Medicare for all.
Modern attempts to create versions of government healthcare have been hobbled at every turn, including Obamacare.
Hartmann offers a deep dive into the shameful History of American healthcare, showing how greed, racism, and oligarchic corruption led to the current "Sickness for profit" system.
This resulted in just ten deaths, while more than 500,000 people have died in the United States.
Taiwan\'s single-payer system saved the country a fortune as well as saving lives during the coronavirus pandemic, enabling the country to implement a nationwide coronavirus test-and-contact-trace program without shutting down the economy.
Other countries have shown us that affordable universal healthcare is not only possible but also effective and efficient.
For-profit health insurance is the largest con job ever perpetrated on the American people--one that has cost trillions of dollars and millions of lives since the 1940s," says Thom Hartmann .
