Maybe it's been a bad idea to let enormous, regionally-monopolized, for-profit corporations control our medical treatments?

Trump gave a speech saying that private health insurance is "very popular," and if Harris wins, "you’re going to be thrown into a system where everybody gets health care." He is so far removed from reality.

"...the U.S. is the only high-income country without universal healthcare. Many American athletes do have access to the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee’s health insurance policy. But their eligibility for the program is up to their sport’s governing body...More than a quarter of U.S. athletes report earning less than $15,000 per year, and more than 40% said they paid out of pocket for healthcare..."

While some athletes have raved about the muffins and others have complained about the cardboard beds, some American Olympians are taking advantage of the free healthcare. Team USA rugby player Ariana Ramsey didn't just get a bronze medal in Paris — she's had a pap smear, X-ray, teeth cleaning, and an eye test. She's posted about this on TikTok, influenced other athletes in the Village to visit medical professionals, and now plans to fight for universal healthcare in the U.S. Here's more from Sports Illustrated.

"Your access to #ReproductiveHealth & your right to make your own #HealthCare decisions are preserved & protected," #Walz said during the signing ceremony. "And because of this #law, that won't change w/the #political wins or makeup of the #SupremeCourt. This is a bill for #Minnesota today & all #future generations."
In April 2023, Walz signed the #ReproductiveFreedom Defense Act into law, shielding #women & #providers from any #legal action originating from the patient's state.
In March 2023, #Walz signed an exec order to the right of residents to have access to #GenderAffirming #HealthCare. Weeks later, he signed the "#TransRefuge" bill, banning the enforcement of arrest warrants, extradition requests & out-of-state subpoenas for those who traveled to Minnesota for care.
"When someone else is given basic rights, others don't lose theirs," Walz said. "We aren't cutting a pie here. We're giving basic rights to every single Minnesotan."
"In 2022, #Walz handily won reelection... while #Democrats also flipped the state #Senate, securing a trifecta for Democrats... that has allowed them to pass liberal priorities. Democrats under Walz’s governorship have enshrined the right to #abortion, allowed undocumented #immigrants to obtain a driver’s license, expanded background checks for gun transfers, legalized recreational #marijuana &offered protections for people seeking or providing gender-affirming #HealthCare."
"Walz’s foray into politics came later in life: Born and raised in West Point, Neb., a small rural town, after high school he enlisted in the #Army National Guard, where he would serve for the next 24 years. After losing his father to lung #cancer at age 19 — which he would later say shaped his views on #HealthCare — #Walz enrolled in Chadron State College in #Nebraska and graduated with a #teaching degree in 1989."
