Beyond Single Payer: activist Tim Faust gives a talk about the jail to hospital pipeline, the grotesque inequality of the current healthcare system, compassionate care workers, and how a US universal healthcare system could have radical, far reaching effects on the country. (YouTube, 48:00)
What is this "jail to hospital pipeline?" Is it not the other way around?

Semantically, if people are confounded by the term "single payer", I've had success in describing its antithesis as "single prayer." Much like global warming/climate change, I think we'd be better off referring to it as "universal healthcare."

AOC: "Insurance groups are recommending GoFundMe as official policy - where customers can die if they can't raise the goal in time - but sure, single payer healthcare is unreasonable."
