Discussion of public health and health care policy, from a public health perspective. The U.S. spends more on medical services than any other country, but we get less for it. Major reasons include lack of universal access, unequal treatment, and underinvestment in public health and social welfare. We will critically examine the economics, politics and sociology of health and illness in the U.S. and the world.

The New Normal
Simon Maloy thinks Trump's corruption will sink the Republican party. To which I say, poppycock.
According to the New York Times and the rest of the corporate media, Hillary Clinton was the corrupt candidate. Can you imagine if Clinton had just settled a fraud lawsuit for $25 million, or the Clinton Foundation had admitted to self-dealing? My imagination can't even encompass what the news coverage would be like.
But they are doing their best to ignore Trump's blatant and proven corruption -- one brief story on each revelation, and we move on. What makes Maloy think that's going to change?
