Since 2000 we seem to have been becoming increasingly more American.  21 years of LNP government has changed us an not for the better. The criminal invasion of Iraq, the Cronulla Riots, the Nope nope Nope coming of Abbott and now the referendum and “no”. There’s an 8-year gap in the life expectancy of Australia’s FNP which can be attributed to institutionalized racism and health no longer being considered a Universal Human Right by the LNP. Remember when Peter Dutton was voted the worst Minister for Health in the history of this country? He has been a racist all along. With his banana bender Colonial Squatter’s mentality he’s a living legend.

Racism is the main reason that America doesn’t consider healthcare a human right and provide it to all citizens, as does every other developed country in the world. Racist whites, particularly in the South, have worked for over a century to make sure that healthcare is hard for Black people and other minorities to get.

Social statistics indicate the very same applies and has increasingly done over 21 years of LNP government.

America is the only developed country in the world that doesn’t recognize healthcare as a human right, the only country with more than two-thirds of its population lacking access to affordable healthcare, and the only country in the developed world that has, since its founding, continuously enslaved and legally oppressed and disenfranchised a large minority of its population because of their race.

These things are connected.

The simple fact is that, were it not for slavery, white supremacy, and the legacy of “scientific racism,” America would have had a national, single-payer healthcare system in 1915, just 31 years after Germany put into place the modern world’s first such program.
