Feb 22, 2025
Dr. Adam Gaffney, a physician and author of 'To Heal Humankind,' discusses the pressing need for Medicare For All as a solution to America's healthcare woes. He compellingly argues that existing systems fall short, leading to high uninsured rates and burdensome medical debt. Debunking myths around wait times and costs, he asserts that a single-payer system could actually lower overall expenses. Gaffney emphasizes tackling systemic deficiencies rather than solely blaming individual lifestyle choices, advocating for progressive reforms to ensure equitable healthcare for all.
