Public healthcare is not going to survive without public oversight.
There's no reason for it. Just that the public that benefits from it isn't allowed to see what goes on under the hood. We're prevented from looking out for our own interests by people who insist they're entitled to do it for us.

A Dutch war cemetery removes the information on black soldiers #RemembranceDay www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...
A Dutch war cemetery added displays showing black US soldiers. Then they were quietly removed
Relatives fear the move is part of ‘the same virus affecting the US’, as historians and politicians say it coincided with Trump’s DEI purge
