Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin
The Killing of Brian Thompson and the Human Cost of Healthcare with Jia Tolentino

It makes no sense for there to be a class of people making tens of billion dollars a year off of the backs of people who are struggling. And in this case, very, very directly. And in a case where the company is itself causing the struggling. or failing to address it in the way that they could. There is money out there to give everybody health care. We have the wealth in this country.
