A murdered health insurance ceo has us talking about healthcare - again. Here's an actual solution...

With all of the increasing attention being paid to health insurance lately, I recalled a podcast I did in 2019 that so fits - "healthcare, making a nation sick."

Spoiler alert: the healthcare system is really about bankcare.  And all of the politicians from all parties are complicit in it NOT being fixed (think how many federal elections this debate has continued to occur with still no solution - both parties, so stop blaming the other side here).  The attention, lately is not because of all the people who have been harmed by insurance for a generation or more , but because a billionaire revenue insurance company ceo making 10 million a year was murdered.  Poor deaths get little attention.  Healthcare debt bankruptcy, still number one in bankruptcies, is normalized.  The attention about healthcare needs all people to unite really - but honestly the fame and wealth has us talking again: except for the sad death of a human (please consider the guy that was killed by the way,  he is a husband,  a dad and he was murdered) as the head of an insurance company,  for most of us this will continue to be business as usual.  Anyway,  this podcast,  like most of them I've done a number of years ago, just repeat history it seems .... but it's a different take on the problem... and there are solutuions.  If you would,  take a listen,  and share to others, enjoy the snark too.
