Comments by "Karen Phinney" (@karphin1) on "Mangione, Manchinema, and Man of the Year | The Coffee Klatch with Robert Reich" video.

Mangione has caused one of the real issues in the States, to come into focus. The absolutely egregious situation of the Medicare system in the US, the feeling of frustration by people who have had health issues, but suddenly find themselves with no support for them and may actually find their financial security jeopardized. And as Robert says, the CEO’s of these corporations are making out like bandits, profits through the roof. This incident has focused people’s minds on this issue. This is really at the base of why so many in America are angry and unsettled about what’s happening. The unfair balance between corporations and truly wealthy people in the country, and the average citizen, who is struggling to just keep on top of their lives, cost wise is at the root of the restlessness and political upheaval in the US.
