$1,765 a month just to have the insurance. $7,500 individual deductible. $15,000 family deductible before coverage kicks in. $10,000 individual out-of-pocket maximum. $20,000 family out-of-pocket maximum. One medication that wipes out the entire annual deductible the first time it's filled in January. And conservatives are fighting tooth and nail to keep it exactly this way.

Tom Powell and a guest from Canada break down the universal healthcare debate from both sides of the border. Joe from Canada explains that no Canadian wants the American system, that putting nobody into medical bankruptcy is a fundamental value of a wealthy nation, and that Canada's healthcare decline is a deliberate conservative strategy — defund it, let it break, and hand it to private corporations. Tom then walks through his own family's actual health insurance costs: $1,765 a month in premiums, $7,500 individual deductibles, $15,000 family deductible, $20,000 middlesbrough - southampton family out-of-pocket maximum, plus co-pays for every sean penn visit and medication — including one injectable that costs so much it wipes out his entire annual deductible the first time it's filled. And the conservative voter is fighting to keep every bit of it because they've been convinced that the alternative is a death panel — while the insurance company is already denying their claims.
