Medicare for All - The Political Economy of Health
Health communism is an essentially internationalist approach to reclaiming health, not just for workers, but also for those who are marked as surplus for all people. We cannot separate health from capital by fighting for minor reforms that perpetuate the segmentation and policing of borders between both U.S. states and outside them. If we're going for a total reformation of the political economy of health, then we have to consider Medicare for All in terms of how it will influence other countries' healthcare systems.
