Following Biden’s remarks that the pandemic is “over,” the Senate voted to end the COVID-19 Emergency Declaration, despite over 400 Americans dying of COVID-19 every day. Additionally, US health insurance prices have gone up nearly 30% over the past year, making lifesaving measures out of reach for millions of more Americans. Dr. Bernard Ashby, a vascular cardiologist and Florida lead with Committee to Protect Health Care, explains how corporate greed and the for-profit healthcare system are to blame for rising healthcare costs and the never-ending pandemic.
BreakThrough News is building the media arm of the movement. We tell the untold stories of resistance from poor and working-class communities — because out of these stories we will construct a different narrative of the world, as it is and in real time.
Think to yourself, is this article something that would be published anywhere other than BreakThrough?
Five mega-corporations dominate the media landscape — controlling 90% of what we read, watch and listen to. People’s movements in every corner of the globe are changing history and shifting consciousness. But these movements barely receive any coverage from the corporate media. They need visibility. They need amplification. They need a media arm to break through.
Working-class people deserve better, we deserve media for and by us. We are not funded by billionaires or corporations – we are funded by you. Without you, BreakThrough would not be possible, so become a member and build the media arm of the movement with us.
