This week we’ve got Matt Bruenig with us to talk all things healthcare. In his research, Matt has consistently made a strong case for social-democratic programs, and recent news reminds us of why the United States’ refusal to adopt single-payer healthcare is so unique among wealthy nations — and so detrimental to its population. Luigi Mangione’s anti-private insurance manifesto and the popular support for someone taking the strongest possible stance as an enemy of the healthcare CEO class points to the importance of understanding how better healthcare systems would produce a different social life for us all.
Our conversation with Matt will hit subscriber inboxes first via Substack Friday night. Everyone else, tune in Saturday via major streaming platforms. See you soon!

Could Matt address how the GATS treaty affects healthcare worldwide? And could he talk about what was exposed in John Pilger's The Dirty War on the NHS? Thank you.
