I would suggest that the American healthcare system is not broken at all. It is in fact working at near peak efficiency. Name one other healthcare system producing as much profit as American’s. Being based in American capitalism, its function is to produce profit extracted from healthcare

Investigators asked Clint Massie how many more girls in the church might come forward with stories about him touching or kissing them.

“I mean, there could be hundreds,” he said.
Young girls were sexually abused by a Duluth church member. They were told to forgive and forget.
In Minnesota, leaders of an Old Apostolic Lutheran Church community enabled a child abuser by telling his victims that once the sins were “washed away,” they could never speak of them again.

During President Trump’s first term, he effectively outsourced the task of picking judges to lawyers closely associated with the Federalist Society. But in his second term, after some of those conservative judges have failed to rule in his favor, Trump has lashed out against the organization.
The Federalist Society Is Torn Between Its Legal Philosophy and Trump’s Demands
Guided by Leonard Leo, the society built a pipeline for traditional conservative judges. But that might not be enough for President Trump in his second term.

Corporate growth concentration in the U.S. has multiplied exponentially.

Republicans have constantly voted against regulations that would let the small to mid business in.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

What does freedom mean to you?

Have you asked your low info voter friends that?

Have you told them what it means to you? Does it mean masked men brutalizing random people—guns in your face—tear gas on your street?

Have you ever shared a video about #ICELawlessness?

Silence is complicity.
