I highly doubt it. Labels only care about the musicI always wonder do labels supply these artists and their families some sort of health insurance.
Healthcare is a rigged system. The US has a way to turn everything into competition and capitalism. That toxic mindset has doomed this place for generations to come in the grand scheme of things. Don’t know what’ll take to change that
There are two major problems happening in parallel. There is a health insurance problem, and healthcare problem.The US doesn’t do healthcare - that’s sickness treatment, not the same thing because there’s no money in a healthy population.
When Medicare was passed, the plan and assumption was that one day it would become open to everyone. It is shameful how long America has put off universal getting to universal health insurance. And when we finally make a move in the right direction, a select few work their hardest to pull us backward.Universal healthcare needs to become a reality.
Until we get rid of our disdain for paying more taxes, I don't see it happening tho.

I've come to the same conclusion as to why the American Healthcare system works this way.
One thing I don't understand though, doesn't a healthy working population provide more productivity? Healthier people supplying the lower and middle classes with able-bodied workers vs dependents who suffer a dramatic loss in work productivity as well as dependents who lose the ability to be productive at all, how is that not more of a drain on the economy than a healthy population?

States have fought hard to allow the selling alcohol at major retailers but health care “too complicated to even begin to deal with”. That’s what we’re working with hereUniversal healthcare needs to become a reality.

At this point you can't just tear things down and build it. The system is too big and important to the economy (it does provide a lot of good middle class jobs) to go do that. And even then you're gonna have to debate/decide what comes next because many countries have better healthcare systems but not all do it the same.I don't even think those in office are competent enough to even rehaul our health care system. We just like to patch **** up instead of implementing real change. This **** needs to be torn down and rebuilt.
Part of the problem is that people voting for “what’s best for the middle lower class” (don’t know how else to word it) are people that were never in need of it in the first place. It’s like asking what rich private prep school white men want to do with public education in inner cities...... oh wait...I don't even think those in office are competent enough to even rehaul our health care system.

Very true but a good tell all is to see where are the funding is coming from, going to or going towards. That’s at least a good starting pointAt this point you can't just tear things down and build it.

There are great ideas out there for making the system much better. It is just that half the folk in government don't even want to try to make things better. In fact many want to make it worst.
