Michael Lighty, Policy Director for National Nurses United, makes the case for Medicare For All and points out the gap between the Democratic “base” and its “donors.” Plus Ralph tells us about his new book, “To The Ramparts: How Bush and Obama Paved the Way For the Trump Presidency and How It’s Not Too Late to Change Course.” Plus, listener questions!

Biggest ripoff is health care in USA – unless you work in the Insurance and Health Care industry except for Doctors
Look, they are phasing out the expansion of the ACA [I never use their talking point of Obamacare] by requiring people to work 20 hours in 2019. Well what that translates into is as what our state has done with food assistance, most people won’t be able to fulfill this unattainable requirement and therefore most people won’t have their privatized medicaid anymore. And one has to recognize that his means they actually don’t care if people have ANY health coverage period. And if doctors cannot see this they are deluded for I would argue they should already have woken up to this. Hence all the nurses acting as doctors now and real lay nurses doing doctor’s work in care delivery! So frankly this is a system that is going to be fat and happy when no one has any coverage. (To interpret this otherwise would involve wishful thinking.)
I listen to Ralph Nadar Radio Hour shows sometimes 3-4 times, as there is so much great info! For a show like this, a fact page would be fantastic! The Canadian health care facts, Taxpayer subsidies, Democrat donor page showing Health Care industry dollars!
Sounds like a great idea, Jerry. Are you volunteering? Let me know. Steve
