Continued….. A vote on keeping healthcare in the US without linking to a shutdown is will be important. A denial of a vote will be just as important.
Republicans have a choice give a vote or deny a vote this year. Or give American voters a choice in the mid terms to reverse the cuts!

I do despair sometimes about the complaints of the influence of bond markets. If govts dont want a wide tax base and people want public service then someone has to pay. He who pays the piper then calls the turn. The answer is self sustaining economies tax revenue meets outgoings. Just like at home

Very good piece.
Have written up some of my thoughts about the increasingly sinister use of 'non-UK born' and 'white British' in the British press. The obsession with 'white British' citizens over other British citizens harms all of us and needs to be called out.

US health care is rife with high costs and deep inequities, and that’s no accident – a public health historian explains how the system was shaped to serve profit and politicians
Research shows that decades of policy choices shaped today’s fragmented health care system – which is precisely why reform is so difficult.

Listening to President Trump on the radio where he admitted that what he is doing with the drug companies amounts to a “redistribution of wealth” his words. Has he turned to socialism since being reelected. If this good enough for republicans should be the same for democrats?
