King, who has adopted the new narrative eagerly and completely, said, "The thing that's so amazing about this that makes me so proud, you can look at just about anything happening in the world today and tie it to slaveryYou look at the naming of Wall Street. You look at sugar that we eat. But the thing that stuck out to me was health care, you can tie health care to slavery."
We're the only western industrialized country that doesn't have universal health care.
It starts with opposition to universal health care that occurs right after slavery when the Freedsmen's Bureau was trying to offer free health care to the formerly enslaved and there was opposition to that.
Universal health care was not even a thought in 1865 when the U.S. was reeling from a long and bloody war that had nearly torn apart the country.
Hannah-Jones would like us to believe the U.S. doesn't have universal health care in 2019 because white Americans were opposed to providing free health care to former slaves 154 years ago.
On the contrary, it might surprise these ladies to hear that following the Civil War, from 1865 to 1870, the U.S. government provided free health care to over one million sick and dying slaves.
In 1798, President John Adams signed a public health law called "An act for the relief of sick and disabled Seamen." Every seaman paid 20 cents per month which paid for marine hospitals to be built and for the care of sick and disabled marines.
