Is there a doctor in the house? (LET022)

What’s your American healthcare system horror story? We’ve all got one. Amos and Ex discuss theirs in the service of advocating for Medicare for All. Also discussed are how the existing health system cannot be described as anything but disciplinary and how both the Right and the Left seem to be exhibiting suicidal tendencies in the face of climate change and a declining social order. As such, we also touch upon Sigmund Freud’s 1924 essay on the “Economic Problem of Masochism.”
