We can place blame on the Biden administration, but frankly, a large portion of the blame falls on the American people. After Obamacare was passed, Democrats lost 900 legislative seats across the country... for making healthcare more affordable and accessible.
The GOP openly discussed their desire to gut Medicare and SS, and then won control of the House.
GOP Senators kill every effort at controlling drug prices, remove funding for regulating nursing homes and hospitals, and vote down bills to aid primary home caregivers. These same people are reelected in landslides.
Half the country doesn't bother voting, most have no idea what their elected officials vote for, and only 27% of GenZers voted in the midterms that literally will define their futures.
So, who is to blame? Unregulated pharma monopolies, corrup GOP politicians, a 24/7 right-wing propaganda machine, inexcusably poor Democratic messaging, or an apathetic, uninformed populace?
How about some out of the box thinking and tackling an objective of increasing US average life expectancy to the average of the 13 high-income nations it the latest Commonwealth Fund report on “U.S. Health Care from a Global Perspective, 2022: Accelerating Spending, Worsening Outcomes”? Sadly, when it comes to healthcare, we continue to be the disgrace of the developed world.
