A Surprising Show of Confidence
WSJ 03/03/2017
An average of major public opinion polls compiled by Real Clear Politics website shows 50.5% of Americans opposed the U.S. health care law in March 2012. By 2017 with high premiums and high deductibles the Obama Affordable Care Act was not seen by middle class as the solution to healthcare needs, though it helped the uninsured and the poor with subsidies. The Republican plan of Speaker Ryan and the House was seen as not sensitive to the needs of low income older Americans even as it sought to bring down premiums. As one middle class American, Mr. Riffle, in a 2017 survey by the Washington Post put it- the problem was the high cost of medical care in the U.S. and pricing of healthcare, until members of Congress used the plans on the insurance exchanges not much would happen to benefit most people.

Wall Street Journal 09/20/2014
Both plans take different approaches based on the groups the politicians serve. Neither plan tackles squarely the root problem of health care costs that makes it hard to bring health care to all Americans, leaving politicians with setting priorities of serving the middle class or the poor based on their viewpoints. Without a change in culture in America similar to that in Europe and Japan on health care as something all should have and a culture of pricing that matches this and makes it possible to do so, the problem remains untackled.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
