Popular progressive radio host and New York Times best-selling author Thom Hartmann reveals how and why attempts to establish 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.
Taiwan’s single-payer system enabled the country to implement a nationwide coronavirus test-and-contact-trace program without shutting down its economy, resulting in just seven deaths, while in the United States more than 350,000 have died.
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 some kind of government healthcare have been hobbled at every turn - including Obamacare, which Hartmann regards as basically a sellout to the health insurance industry.
There is a simple solution: Medicare for all. Hartmann describes the extraordinary benefits it would provide the American people and economy and the steps we need to take to make it a reality. It is time for America to join every industrialized country in the world and make health a right, not a privilege.

It gets nauseating listening to the AMA, insurance companies, and their lackeys in Congress bleat about the U.S. having the best medical system in the world every time there is a suggestion that it be spread to everyone. Oh, horrors! It might mean the dreaded socialism (has it ever occurred to anyone that our military is the world’s largest socialist organization???) is taking over our (selfish) country.
Just think: Insurance company executives deprived of their $23 million dream homes (that Thom reveals), or doctors retiring to gated communities. Sadly, their comfort comes at our expense. What you say? They’re supposed to be the protectors of human life. Well, the joke’s on us.
This is clearly laid out in Hartmann’s book. Please read it! Get the education that the “powers that be” would prefer you not have.
