How Racism Prevented the U.S. From Establishing Universal Healthcare.

Racism has been the biggest barrier to human progress on this planet but especially in America

Just proves how idiotic the average person is in America. I see why nothing gets done in Washington outside of foreign policies

None of us should be surprised. Now that healthcare is a multi-billion dollar business in the US, universal healthcare will probably never happen in our lifetime. Too many racist greedy white people & corporations

The experimental data show health care spending in 2022 rose to more than $4.3 trillion, while the share of GDP declined to 17.1 percent, from a 17.5 percent share in 2021.

I think you can pinpoint racism as the reason for most or a large portion of the Country votes in a way that negatively impacts the Country.

What that tells me is there a conspiracy to not be truthful and honest with those who seek medical aid... that means texts and audio exist that can blow it all out of the water. Purposely keeping a nation sick would turn the people against the govt 100%...imagine a father dying and they had the means to save him but wouldn't.

They really thought Black people would die off without ever seeing a doctor

We the oldest people on this planet, we been here a long time and will be here a long time.
And most of that time we used our own medicines and traditional healers.

The white man is a truly sick being that doesn't belong in this world.

Anyone that would destroy their own lives in order to hurt someone else or bar them from something beneficial, is both stupid and evil.

And we STILL out here thriving and multiplying.


Making their nervous systems act up when we around.

On Wednesday, open enrollment for Affordable Care Act plans began in Idaho, offering a preview to the rest of the country of how much monthly premiums are set to increase in 2026.

Many Idahoans will have to decide whether they’ll be able to afford coverage once the enhanced subsidies that kept premiums lower for many middle-class families expire at the end of the year.


Bob McMichael, 63, and his wife, Leslie, 62, already know they won’t.

Both are retired and make about $42,000 a year. They currently pay $51 a month for their ACA plan. Late last month, they got a notice that their monthly premium would increase to $2,232 next year without the subsidies.

“We’re facing a stratospheric increase in health care and probably don’t have any option to stay on health care as of January 2026,” McMichael said.

After getting the notice, the McMichaels wrote to Sen. Mike Crapo, R-Idaho, urging him to support extending the subsidies.

That decision is at the heart of the government shutdown fight on Capitol Hill, with Democrats saying Republicans must agree to keep in place the enhanced subsidies, first introduced in 2021, before they’ll vote to reopen the government. Without the tax credits, average out-of-pocket premiums are expected to rise by $1,200 a year in Idaho, a 75% increase, according to state health officials.

About 25,000 Idahoans are likely to drop their coverage for next year when enhanced subsidies expire.

So basically, everything would’ve been better for most people around the world if it wasn’t for white people racism?
