Ex-UN chief Ban Ki-moon says US healthcare system is ‘morally wrong’

One thing I will question is why the rest of the Western world was seemingly so absent from public condemnations of events and policies in the USA that preceded or directly resulted in this situation.

At some point you become complicit via inaction.

Awesome news source. I like to leave it on while I’m working late, falling asleep, want to catch up on things without a bunch of extra noise. They don’t try to skip around and cram things in between commercial breaks. Very refreshing. This sets a standard for media and audio/video news production.
