Americans suffer debt, anxiety and early death under privatized health care in the United States. We can build a better future with a national health care system where everyone has equal access to high-quality comprehensive care. Co-hosts Chuck Pennacchio and Simon Hutton from One Payer States envision that better future for health and health care – and expand the discussion with guests from across the movement for universal health care and health care justice in the United States.
