Ludwig Institute for Shared Economic Prosperity calculates how many Americans are unable to afford the basic necessities of life. "The unemployment data, as it's put out, has some flaws," LISEP chairman Gene Ludwig told CBS MoneyWatch.

Luigi is a murderer. ...And so was Brian Thompson.
In his defense Luigi did bring some of the problems with the US healthcare system to everyone's attention. All Thompson did was deny care to help shareholders.
We have a corrupt, broken, expensive system. Most of the developed world has figured out how to improve healthcare for their citizens. The US system only helps to line the pockets of for-profit greed fkrs, while generally making actual healthcare inefficient and complicated.
The ACA did not make healthcare more affordable for most people, the Medicaid expansion did that. But the ACA was somewhat successful at making healthcare accessible for more people. Now thanks to MAGA and the Big BS Act, most gains that DID exist will be lost. And more people will needlessly go bankrupt and/or die. ...But I bet you're cheering for that.
