Opinion: Medicare for All would have ensured the US had a better pandemic response
edition.cnn.comWhile the pandemic has put immense stress on nearly every country's health care system, no country — and certainly no other high-income country — has suffered the way the United States has. Americans make up less than 5% of the global population, but account for nearly one in five of the world's 2.3 million deaths. All the more astounding is that as the richest, most powerful country in the world, its overwhelming resources did nothing to help absorb the shock of an event like this.
I'm scared.
If the pressure for broader change is there, they could cave on M4A to stop it. It would give them massive support for a generation, honestly wouldn't be surprised if they go for it IF they are fearful of a mass movement
finance capital would never allow this. We are an economy of rentiers now - the only way to make money is to fleece the proles
Simply put, the economy would not be able to handle the contradiction. The insurance industry provides so much financial backbone to so many various industries, the inflated premiums that Americans pay inflates the other systems that oppress us.
