@laureni @rbrtrmstrng An interesting read! LVMH acquiring a majority stake in the company will definitely change the game for birks. #fudj #ENW2370

William Brangham finishes the livestream with a small conclusion and a thank you to the Commonwealth fund for supporting this conversation. #ENW2370 #fudj

[Kat Bigelow @kat_bigelow]

The team restated that for their research they travelled to the UK, Switzerland, Australia and Canada for reporting. #ENW2370 #fudj

[Kat Bigelow @kat_bigelow]

The commentators spoke about how over 30 million Americans do not have health insurance, and how this number is expected to grow as a result of the pandemic. #ENW2370 #fudj

[Kat Bigelow @kat_bigelow]

Brangham comments that the citizens of other countries are more willing/accepting to follow healthcare mandates such as wearing a mask. #ENW2370 #fudj

[Kat Bigelow @kat_bigelow]

Jha and Cheng have exited the livestream, leaving Jason Kane and William Brangham left to speak on whether universal healthcare helps fight a pandemic. #ENW2370 #fudj

[Kat Bigelow @kat_bigelow]

Jha says that the US would achieve universal coverage through incremental steps and that it would most likely be a different path than other countries have taken. #ENW2370 #fudj

[Kat Bigelow @kat_bigelow]

Jason Kane comments on the incremental steps of the Biden administration thus far. #ENW2370 #fudj

[Kat Bigelow @kat_bigelow]

Jha speaks about the UK system called “Nice” and if that rationing system could ever work in the United States. He is saying there has been a lot of pushback on this system and that there is ongoing conflict about it. #ENW2370 #fudj

[Kat Bigelow @kat_bigelow]

Tsung-Mei Cheng is speaking about how our political system has too many powerful interest groups, and how healthcare is a part of these groups in Washington. #ENW2370 #fudj

[Kat Bigelow @kat_bigelow]

“We don’t necessarily consume more healthcare here, but rather we pay more for it” Dr. Jha comments on the first question from a viewer, who asked why the United States is so much more expensive than other countries. #ENW2370 #fudj

[Kat Bigelow @kat_bigelow]

Dr. Ashish Jha believes that the healthcare disparity in the US is a “decision that we have consciously made” as a country. He said that the fundamental ability to access a healthcare system should not be a personal responsibility. #ENW2370 #fudj

[Kat Bigelow @kat_bigelow]
