Working Poor Lose Health Care While Rich White Drug Pushing Billionaires Get Tax Breaks
 Every month tens of thousands of people lose their access to healthcare because Republican states are imposing all sorts of restrictions on access to Medicaid. We are literally the only developed country in the world that doesn't provide healthcare as a right, and now we see an entire political party committed to stripping healthcare away from people so they can save enough government money to give more tax breaks to billionaires like the billionaire Sackler family, whose greed addicted and killed hundreds of thousands of Americans. The Saklers, who got millions in tax cuts from the GOP, then came up with a scheme to make even more money off the opioid addiction epidemic they caused by selling us anti-addiction products. A black teenager who sells four Oxycontin tablets faces 30 years in prison and working poor people suffering from OxyContin addiction can't get access to healthcare while the rich, white Saklers get a tax break and billions. -Thom |

WHY I AM ASKING FOR YOUR SUPPORT AT PATREON?
Your support of the program is invaluable. Producing the Thom Hartmann Program is a labor of love for the team, but doesn't come without cost. We supply the program to non-profit, community and volunteer radio and cable stations across the US. However, this isn't cost free and being a supporter through Patreon means you can help us to meet some of the bills, to allow us to continue free supply to the non-profit sector. As a way of saying thank you, we would like to give you something back for your support at various levels. Every weekday, the live Thom Hartmann Program three hour program is recorded exclusively for Patreon supporters. Unedited, the full three hour video will be right here on the Patreon page, within a couple of hours of the end of the live program. And we're also providing extra videos not seen anywhere else like our new one. Can American Schools Get the Lead Out? More than two thirds of states examined received failing grades for unsafe levels of lead. As more states are testing their water, more and more schools are finding lead in their drinking water.
Is there a way to fix our the lead problem in our public schools?If you sign up on Patreon you'll get more than the podcast. Can you take time now to support this show? |
