THIS IS REVOLUTION＞podcast Ep. 220: The Savagery of The Private Healthcare System f/ Qualia Redux and Dr. Eric Osgood

The question of healthcare in the United States has been one of the preeminent questions in American politics. While some form of socialized healthcare exists in most countries, the United States is almost unique in the way that it leaves such life and death issues to market forces. In 2010, the passage of the Affordable Care Act, so-called Obamacare, was supposed to solve the healthcare question. However, unfortunately for millions, the profit-driven nature of healthcare provision remained in place. This week on This is Revolution, we speak with Dr. Eric Osgood about the brutality of the US healthcare system and discuss with Qualia Redux her recent video that drew parallels between American healthcare provision and the SAW movie franchise.   Eric Osgood Dr. Eric D.
