US Healthcare Premium Spikes? Blame the Wrong Bills.
While Gladys Harrison faces ruin, Congress just approved another $14.5 billion in military aid to Israel (HR 815, 2023)—money not magically appearing, but diverted from domestic needs. This isn't about 'Biden's economy' or 'Main Street' challenges; it’s about a legislative branch actively prioritizing foreign military financing over American citizens' health. How many small businesses could be
kept afloat, or how many healthcare premiums subsidized, with even a fraction of those billions? One might wonder if the politicians lamenting Main Street’s struggles are the same ones who took donations from the very corporations profiting from the current healthcare and military-industrial complex. The silence on this contrast from corporate media is, as often, deafening.
