Do all Americans have the right to exist? The answer of the U.S. government is a clear "no." Alone among the modern states of the world, the American government does not see healthcare as a right.
America is also one of the only nations in the entire world that does not see paid sick leave as a right.
The end result in America is one of the most expensive and one of the deadliest health "care" systems in the world.
For over the last 20 years, every expert in the world has been warning about the coming of a pandemic. Every expert in the world has warned America that its lack of health insurance and its lack of paid sick leave was a disaster waiting to happen. In 2020, disaster struck. Now almost 600,000 Americans have been killed. If 600,000 dead is not an agenda for reform, we don't know what is.
The entire structure of life in America has been severely damaged. Trillions of dollars have been lost.
So what to do? We've got to get back to basics. Healthcare is a right. And we need change now. Not in the hypothetical future. This year.
Joe Biden's Healthcare Plan claims to "give every American access to affordable health insurance." Great. Let's make that happen.
It has been clearly defined that hundreds of thousands of the people who died probably would not have died if we had healthcare as a right (Lancet Study: 40% of U.S. Covid deaths could have been avoided). It is a virtual certainty that until we have healthcare as a right, we are not going to be prepared for the next pandemic. Therefore, in the year 2021, it is a matter of the highest importance that America makes healthcare a right, and that it does that now. That doesn't mean vague promises. No. It means that by the end of the year everybody in America will have healthcare as a right. That means they will have healthcare at a reasonable price that they can afford. No more $7000 deductibles for working people and so on and so forth.
It is very important to understand that this is a national security issue. As a result of the failure of government policy, more Americans just got killed by a foreign enemy than were killed in World War II, the Vietnam War and the Korean War combined. This is a national security disaster. It needs to be corrected and it cannot be corrected until healthcare is a right.
There can be no compromise on this point. None whatsoever.
The political leaders need to decide if they think all Americans have a right to exist. If they feel that they don't, we must ask the following question: How many people need to be killed in the next epidemic before our leaders take action? 600,000? 2 million? And once again, real action means 100% coverage.
So we need to treat an emergency like an emergency. People who don't have health insurance don't need expressions of concern. They don't need press releases. They don't need false promises that one day the Democratic Party will produce national health insurance. The Democratic Party has been promising national health insurance for 100 years. The time for false promises is over. 100 years is more than enough for this. The time for action is now.
Health care for all should be permanent. We'd prefer Medicare for All, but the important thing is providing some kind of plan to establish health care for all. There should be 100% coverage for 100% of the people. We'll leave it up to Biden's team to figure out the exact details of how to make this happen. We're not saying this is the only solution. But universal health care should be introduced until the emergency passes. And President Biden needs to be given an ultimatum to do this by the end of the year.
Trillions of dollars of emergency aid has been given to Wall Street. Biden wants to spend more money on war than the next seven nations combined. There can be no more excuses. All Americans must have a right to healthcare and paid sick leave by the end of 2021, just as they do in every other modern state.
