Health Care in the USA, becoming a tragedy under Trump!

Robert Reich, former Secretary of Labour during the period from 1993 to 1997 in the cabinet of President Bill Clinton, writes:


“A recent report found that the for-profit US healthcare system ranks last among peer nations. We spend twice as much per capita on healthcare and have the worst health outcomes. Since 2010, profits of top health insurers have hit a collective $371 billion. At least $120 billion was funneled shareholders. Meanwhile, half of US adults say they can’t afford an unexpected $500 medical expense. We do not have to keep living like this.”
