IN HEADLINES: You can't call yourself a public hospital if you can only serve the public by price-gouging another segment of the public. And incidentally, the tired trope of "not wanting to pay for other people" that's often used in argument against Universal Healthcare is actually what happens in our current system. We take a look at why hospitals are closing and why even well-meaning reforms can't take hold in a privatized, for-profit system.
OUR INTERVIEW this week: Rory Varrato joins us to talk about Extinction Rebellion NYC: upcoming events, the power of a decentralized, collaborative structure and what we should expect from ourselves as we move further into the age of climate change.
