I believe I listened to this video when it first came out. And I feel MORE certain that this outcome you point will indeed will show up. I've experienced some of the WORST of what the US has to offer - via its healthcare system. Yes, I'm one of "those" medical bankrupt people. 12 years of being very sick and ending in an organ trransplant. Sure, I was wiped out financially, but more than that, I ended up with a new diagnosis - medical PTSD. Yes, a real thing. I'm still doing whatever works to abate ALL those symptoms. And yes, just like a soldier in battle after battle. I lost my home, I lost a career I loved, I finally lost my car. Life sucks. This should happen to a middle-class (white) woman in the US? And getting help from the govt??? OH, PERISH THE THOUGHT!!! This country ALREADY is in collapse. I'm a baby boomer - but not one of those "highly profitable, liquid" ones. And yeah, it can get much worse if Trump is elected again. Suicide is not an option for me. Just sayin. Hope for the best? How?
