You'd think that when the US spends vastly more on health care per capita than any other country & yet has far worse outcomes that we'd look to what other countries do and copy it. Of course, instead the GOP wants to double down on our outlier market based model that fails us over and over again.

This chart collection examines how U.S. health spending compares to health spending in other similarly large, wealthy OECD countries using the OECD Health Statistics database.

The biggest divide in our politics is not left vs right — it's top vs bottom.
Billionaires are dividing us because our unity is a threat to their wealth and power.
I went on Joe Rogan’s show to bridge the divide and build a coalition big enough to take power back.
