This is a sober self reflection. Whether you agree with the politics or not, it ought to be inspiring as a way to reflect on one’s impact on their society.
On the political side, it does seem to confirm that there was a strong intentional push against welfare maximizing healthcare policies motivated by private profit. It’s hard to see positive intent if intelligent, well resourced people intentionally made statements to lawmakers and the media about facts that they either knew were false (for other countries) or chose not to verify in the slightest. That’s grave damage to the public in a republic.
