I’ve been fighting for single payer healthcare for decades. I’ve seen it in action in Europe & Canada. I’ve also seen Americans die from our system and seen Americans get denied healthcare since I worked for a healthcare insurance company for 15 years. The health care industry lies to Americans so they remain brainwashed that for profit healthcare is better. It isn’t.

I lived in the USA for some 7 years decades ago, and knew both systems. The trouble is that most Americans seem very concerned about losing their homes if they suffer some serious illness. This constant stress must affect creativity and problem solving. Another very real problem is how much credit is created, and the constant inflation. (Yes we have it here too!). I prepared a quick visual showing how credit creation bumps up inflation and hosing prices.
