We spend twice as much per capita on health care as almost any nation on Earth. We pay the highest prescription drug prices in the world. 85 million Americans are uninsured or underinsured.
Republicans — pathetically — have nothing serious to say about the health care crisis.

Layoffs are reaching their highest levels since the pandemic, but America's corporate elite have never been doing better.
