Political Influence of the Health Industry
Healthcare is one the main concerns of voters in the 2024 elections. Fifty-nine percent of the public think it is the responsibility of the federal government to make sure all Americans have healthcare coverage,
The U.S. health system is dead last among high income countries when it comes to “affordability, administrative efficiency, equity, and healthcare outcomes.” Every other “developed” country on the planet provides health coverage for all its citizens. The U.S. has the world’s highest healthcare spending per capita, one of the results of nearly two-thirds of the population being covered by private/corporate insurance.

Elections are important – arguably more so this year than most. Electing representatives who genuinely value democracy is essential – including those who are knowledgeable about and committed to ending corporate rule and the corrupting influence of massive money spent/invested in elections.
