From Lever Time: Sirota—The Health Care Crisis Is The Democracy Crisis


Listen Later

In this special episode from Lever Time, David Sirota reflects on the shocking murder of United Health CEO Brian Thompson and the surge of public anger it unleashed against America’s broken health insurance system.

Tracing decades of broken promises and corporate influence—from the Clinton and Obama administrations to today—this audio essay explores the health care crisis as a symptom of a deeper democracy crisis and asks what it will take for Americans to finally demand change.

Listen to the Lever Time episode Why America Is Mad As Hell About Health Care.
