Mirror, Mirror: Twenty Years of Failing System Report Cards.
And Fourteen Years after the Affordable Care Act—Why are we still here? with Dr. Margaret Flowers.
Since 2004, the Commonwealth Fund has compared health system performance among wealthy nations. The U.S. consistently ranks dead last. Why is the U.S. such an outlier, when the solution, a national single payer system, free from profit, would save lives and money? Dr. Margaret Flowers, renowned single payer activist and humanist, was one of the 13 single payer activists, doctors, and nurses arrested at the Senate Finance Committee meeting in 2009, when the U.S. attempted to reform the health care system and came up with the Affordable Care Act. Hear her reflections on what we have accomplished in the fourteen years since its passage. Why does the U.S. health care system continue to be the worst, by a wide margin?
Dr. Margaret Flowers discusses true health care reform: a bold, beautiful, national, single payer health care system free from profit-seekers, where everybody is in, and nobody is left out.
