What The Us Healthcare System Doesnt Want You To Know Why And How You Can Do Something About It

Popular progressive radio host and New York Times bestselling author Thom Hartmann reveals how and why attempts to implement affordable universal healthcare in the United States have been thwarted and what we can do to finally make it a reality. "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. Other countries have shown us that affordable universal healthcare is not only possible but also effective and efficient. 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. This resulted in just ten deaths, while more than 500,000 people have died in the United States. 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. Modern attempts to create versions of government healthcare have been hobbled at every turn, including Obamacare. There is a simple solution: Medicare for all. 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. It's time for America to join every industrialized country in the world and make health a right, not a privilege.

Consumers of healthcare are conditioned to be uninformed and misguided. Why? Well, the United States healthcare system - health insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, specialists, and others - is assembled to keep you sick. They don't want you to know this because it's making them very rich.In fact, we are the only developed nation in the world that allows the health industry to profit, maintaining incentives for providers to keep us sick. This status quo is kept alive by keeping Americans uninformed. We have been conditioned to not know the inner workings of our healthcare system, and as a result, are powerless.Yet we can, and should, do something about it.

What politicians and the media don't want you to know. Millions of Americans at both ends of the political spectrum are angry and fed up with being lied to by politicians and the media.

Americans Against Obama is a collection of newsletters that I produced as the Committee Chairman of the American Citizens Political Action Committee to show what Americans think about Obama and his administration. These newsletters were produced at the time the main stream media and others released their press releases. It is designed to illustrate what the average American thought of the articles and how biased the main stream media is in slanting their articles to favor the unions, Democrats and President Obama. There should be more truth in reporting. It appears that the White House is approving all the main stream media reports instead of reporting actual facts. That is not right. Our purpose is to have a record of what the American citizens wanted our elected representatives and president to try to accomplish while they are in office. We will then be able to compare the results at the end of 2012 and see who has performed their duties in the manner that the United States citizens wanted. I think we are going to be really surprised by the results.
