“Today’s episode explores the United States’ rejection of a national healthcare system, analysing the role of corporate media in shaping public perception against public healthcare alternatives. The author argues that this resistance is driven by a profit-driven system that prioritises the interests of insurance companies and pharmaceutical giants over the needs of the population. Today’s episode also investigates the influence of neoliberalism and the legacy of figures like Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan in perpetuating this resistance. Here, Dr. Jaime Hoerricks presents a vision for a national health service in the US, highlighting its potential to improve access to care, reduce costs, and enhance the working conditions of healthcare professionals.”
