Description:

Is Luigi Mangione, 26, Ivy League graduate and scion of a well-known Baltimore family, who allegedly killed Brian Thompson, CEO of United HealthCare, a saint or sinner?

The U.S. healthcare system is undermined by crony capitalism with money worship at its extreme. And, now the country is directly in the hands of the billionaires-- in stead of thier middle men--, what lies in store for the teeming millions of this nation.

According to an MSN report, despite being a global powerhouse, the United States lags behind many nations in terms of public health. On the Bloomberg Healthiest Countries Index, the U.S. ranks a disappointing 35th, trailing behind numerous developed nations. Countries at the top of the list share common traits: universal healthcare, access to nutritious food, and lifestyles that promote physical activity. In contrast, unhealthy nations often face issues like income disparity, poor nutrition, and limited access to healthcare. Let's explore the key factors that shape global health and what we can learn to improve well-being in the U.S.

Mexico, Panama and Costa Rica have better health care systems than the U.S.

One of the biggest challenges, is the insatiable greed of the insuance companies, who are out there to make a profit at the expense of the health of common Americans. As such, was the vigilante justice of Luigi Mangione at the tender age of 26 qualifies him to be called an American Saint?

Come hear from top practitioners, activists, clergy and contribute your thought as well.

Confirmed speakers:

Dr. Edwin Chapman, People's Doctor of Washington D.C.

Kymone Freeman, Founder, We Act Radio

Prof. Ebony C. Peace, Clinical Sociologist
