A new study claims Medicare-for-all could have saved more than 200,000 lives during the pandemic
[image: Two health care workers in protective gowns, masks, and face shields.] According to a new study, at least 212,000 fewer Americans would have died of Covid-19 if the US had a single-payer health care system. | Allison Dinner/Bloomberg via Getty Images America’s failures to respond to Covid-19 and to deliver universal health care are part of the same story.

"Well, it is our fate to live in a time of crisis. To live in a time when all forms and values are being challenged. In other and more easy times, it was not, perhaps, necessary for the individual to confront himself with a clear question: What is it that you really believe? What is it that you really cherish? What is it for which you might, actually, in a showdown, be willing to die? I say, with all the reticence which such large, pathetic words evoke, that one cannot exist today as a person – one cannot exist in full consciousness – without having to have a showdown with one’s sel... read more
