If everybody got healthcare, wouldn't that benefit employers and employees both?.. How Republican policies have led to disposable employees... Do we have a health care system, or a health insurance industry?- and does that mean we have nutty priorities that lead to very high levels of serious, but preventable illnesses among Americans like diabetes? And how are people across our country coping with the holes in medical care?</p><p><br /></p><p>Plus Thom reads from 'Drugs, Money, and Secret Handshakes' by Robin Feldman, and his own book 'Walking Your Blues Away'.</p><p>See Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info</a>.</p>
