Political Video: A Better Healthcare System ALREADY Exists In The U.S.
As the nation grapples with shortages in nurses, primary care physicians, and other healthcare workers, preventative and routine appointments are even harder to come by in underserved communities. However, a solution to this problem, and the broken healthcare system as a whole, has been in place since the 70s: the National Health Service Corps. Ana Kasparian discusses on The Young Turks.

“A recent exposé in the Los Angeles Times brings to light the horrific increase in amputations in majority-black, working-class South Los Angeles. After decades without access to health-promoting infrastructure like supermarkets, parks, and doctors, diabetic residents are losing their toes, feet, and legs.
Nightmare scenarios like these owe in part to the nation’s shortage of primary care physicians, which has made it nearly impossible for people to obtain preventive services or to secure an appointment with their provider quickly enough to receive the specialty care that might have enabled them to keep their limbs.
Thankfully, we’re beginning to see more investment in addressing the nation’s primary care shortage. In March of 2021, when he signed the American Rescue Plan, President Biden directed $1 billion to a program called the National Health Service Corps (NHSC). Not many people know about the NHSC, even though it’s been around since 1972. The NHSC commissions medical, nursing, dental, nurse practitioner, and physician assistant students to practice primary care in designated underserved areas, both rural and urban. In return, NHSC recipients receive student loan reimbursement or financial assistance to pay for college."

Right-wing propaganda network Newsmax recently interviewed Hungary’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, who spewed terrible anti-LGBTQIA+ rhetoric and defended Hungary’s ban on LGBTQIA+ content in schools. The rhetoric was received with welcome arms and did not face any pushback from the Newsmax host, which points towards a larger issue with U.S. media: sympathy for authoritarians, demonization for leftists.

Presenting Latin America's rising left as a threat to US interests, as the NYT does here, rather than seeing an opportunity to fashion a regional policy that finally makes good on the US's professed values is a good way to ensure we miss that opportunity.

White House Video: 01/24/22: Press Briefing by Press Secretary Jen Psaki
Forty-nine years ago, the Supreme Court decided Roe v. Wade and held that the Constitution protects a woman’s right to have an abortion. The Biden-Harris Administration is fighting to protect that constitutional right, and has taken action to defend women’s access to reproductive healthcare.
The President and Vice President strongly denounced the Texas law, SB 8, which bans abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, as a blatant violation of women’s constitutional rights, and launched an immediate response, directing the Gender Policy Council and White House Counsel to lead a whole-of-government effort to protect women’s rights in Texas and across this country. The Department of Justice brought a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the Texas law, and the Department of Health and Human Services expanded Title X funding to Texas healthcare providers.
The President and Vice President have committed to protecting and defending the long-recognized, constitutional right to safe and legal abortion by working with Congress to codify Roe in federal statute. The Administration continues to call for passage of the Women’s Health Protection Act.
