Hello, I welcome you to tune in and in the future discuss,  the concerning relationship between our current health care system and capitalism.  Spoiler alert, the two are NOT compatible. 

In this episode, I will review how covid-19 has magnified inequalities in health care and how health care is seen as a resource obtained by the individual vs the country providing this human right to all. In this pandemic, we've witnessed how Capitalism, a system based on supply-and demand, has exploited the U.S most vulnerable populations in order to stay afloat economically.
