Ep68: Understanding the Interplay of Healthcare & Politics in America- w/ Dr. Abdul El-Sayed
“Politics are like a kaleidoscope. If you don't like where you are, just keep turning it.”
This week we are delighted to welcome physician, epidemiologist, author, and Director of Wayne County's Department of Health, Abdul El-Sayed.
He shares his opinion that our healthcare system is broken because our politics is broken.
The solution? Collective action, universal healthcare and persistent dialogue.
——
We spoke about the corrosive influence of monetizing healthcare for profit, the concept of an epidemic of insecurity as a root cause of our inability to empathize with each other, the need to use politics as a constructive and healing force, and how we can tackle many of the root causes of our healthcare problems through ground level collaboration.
