We have the greatest hospitals, doctors, and medical technology in the world - we need to make them accessible to every American.
Accountants, machinists, medical technicians, even software writers that write the software for 'machines' are being displaced without upscaled replacement jobs. Retrain, rehire into higher paying and value-added jobs? That may be the political myth ...
