Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Market-oriented health policies shifted medical resources toward high-income people, burdened the middle class with unaffordable out-of-pocket costs and deployed public money to stimulate the corporate takeover of vital health resources. [...]a single payer health-care reform offers the fairest, most effective, and most efficient route to universal health coverage. [...]the president and the Congress must mobilise massive resources to avert climate catastrophe, address the calamities caused by COVID-19, and attenuate global inequality. The 3·4% of GDP the USA currently spends on troops and armaments should be reduced to the 1·4% average of other G-7 nations, with the savings redeployed to address urgent health, social, and environmental problems at home; reinvigorate the scientific efforts that are vital to global progress; and fund the four-times increase in foreign aid needed to reach the level recommended by the UN.
