The Case for Universal Healthcare

Coronavirus has killed 64 times more Americans than were lost on 9/11, and the pandemic is casting a particularly harsh light on America’s healthcare system. Its dysfunctions nearly cost historian Timothy Snyder his life. His new book takes the reader through his near-death experience and makes the case that universal healthcare is in fact key to American freedom.
