'We Can Get There': Medicare for All Advocates See Resurgence in National Movement | Common Dreams ( www.commondreams.org )

Growing bipartisan anger over a lack of transparency about healthcare prices, private insurers' denial of claims, and the huge profits raked in by insurance companies while an estimated 98 million American adults skip or delay medical appointments to avoid an unaffordable bill are all pushing people to demand change, according to Richter, who gave a presentation about efforts to bring government-funded healthcare to Vermont.

I thought that was a meaningful quote. I also liked the historical reference by Walter Cronkite about the U.S. healthcare system being neither healthy, caring, or even a system to begin with.

I hope things change sometime soon so that all families have healthcare. I believe we can do this.

Have you read about the International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights yet?

Based on my understanding, that treaty will require us to have universal healthcare and social security.
