🚨 We’re the Richest Country in the World — So Why Are We Dying Broke? 🚨

If you’ve ever screamed “THIS IS NOT NORMAL” at your phone while paying a medical bill, congratulations — this episode is for you.In this no-holds-barred installment of It Takes a Village, Jess is joined by Karishma Manzur, a scientist-turned-Senate-candidate who looked at America’s healthcare system, watched it chew people up and spit them out… and decided to run straight at the problem instead of politely asking it to do better.🧪 Karishma didn’t enter politics for clout.She entered because after 20 years in clinical research, she realized the treatments she worked on would never reach millions of people — not because the science failed, but because the system did. In the richest country on Earth. Let that sink in.This episode goes there:* Why universal healthcare should’ve passed a generation ago* How insurance “denials” quietly turn into death sentences* Why medical bankruptcy is a feature, not a bug* How dental insurance is basically a punchline* Why people with full-time jobs are still sleeping in cars* And how public service got hijacked by vanity, donors, and designer suits💸 We talk about:* Billionaires multiplying while life expectancy drops* Why “band-aid fixes” like ACA subsidies aren’t enough* How for-profit healthcare thrives on keeping people sick* Why seniors are choosing between teeth and rent* And how the middle class now means “can’t afford an implant, but hey — you’re insured!”🔥 Karishma doesn’t mince words.She calls out blood money, wealth hoarding, performative politics, and a system that treats suffering like a revenue stream — all while reminding us that this mess is a choice, not an inevitability.🎯 This isn’t a policy lecture.It’s a reality check with receipts.If you’ve ever wondered:* Why healthcare feels impossible* Why wages don’t match reality* Why everything is more expensive except human life👉 Watch to the end.👉 Share it like someone’s life depends on it (because it does).👉 And remember: this country isn’t broke — it’s being looted.The village sees it. The village is angry. And the village is done pretending this is fine. Get full access to It Takes a Village Politics at ittakesavillagepolitics.substack.com/subscribe
