Show Notes

For-profit health insurance is killing us. The less care we get, the more money they make. Our guest is 2022 Los Angeles mayoral candidate and healthcare advocate Gina Viola. Single-payer CalCare could cost patients $40/mo and provide full coverage for medical, psychiatric, dental, and vision with zero cost at point of service. But with billions of profits on the line, health insurance lobbyists in the state legislature block universal healthcare year after year. We talk about the fight to make healthcare a human right in California, and the forces behind the forces standing in our way.
