Also, the U.S. pays more public money per-capita for healthcare by a long way, because the $$$ private system drives up costs for Medicare, Medicaid, and Veterans' benefits. So Americans don't even have the (tiny) consolation of saving on their taxes by doing without universal healthcare.
Example: in 2022, U S. per-capita Public funding for healthcare was US $12,555, compared to U.S. $6,319 in Canada.

CryptPad @ GNU Health Con 2021
CC-BY-SA: GNUSolidario
Storing documents in the so-called "cloud" and collaborating on them in real-time is an expected feature of today's tech platforms. However, convenience and productivity come at the cost of privacy. In most cases, the services that store documents and enable real-time editing also gain access to the data in order to mine it for their own profit.
CryptPad offers an alternative online office suite that is end-to-end encrypted and fully open-source. It includes all the applications and tools for productive collaboration: text documents, spreadsheets, presentations, forms, kanban boards and more. All data is encrypted/decrypted in the browser, which means no readable data ever leaves the user's device.
In this talk I will present CryptPad's features and talk about how the project has been developed to date. I hope to encourage discussion with the GNU Health audience about leveraging existing CryptPad features in a healthcare context, and about which future developments would be needed in this area.

I'm very happy to live in a country with somewhat decent #healthinsurance for everyone but I stand with people living in countries where this isn't the case

Rifles, Tasers and Jails:
How Cities and States Spent Billions of COVID-19 Relief
"President Biden’s signature American Rescue Plan Act gave local governments $350 billion to recover from COVID-19. They spent much of it on police, prisons and the courts.
After signing the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) last spring, President Joe Biden touted what the economic stimulus bill would deliver: food assistance to millions of people in need, lower #healthcare premiums for millions of Americans, and $350 billion for state and local governments to spend on COVID-19 recovery. Economists say it was the largest infusion of federal funding in local governments in almost 40 years.
A year later, ARPA became one of President Biden’s talking points to demonstrate #Democrats are not out to defund the police."

“I have known Bobby my whole life; we grew up together,” wrote #Kennedy. “It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because he himself is a #predator.”
#CarolineKennedy goes on to say in her letter that through “the strength of his personality,” other family members followed #RFKJr “down the path of drug #addiction.”

For Canadians feeling smug about our Universal #Healthcare - we have to prepare to fight to keep and improve it. An old rant on what could happen in Canada.
Universal Healthcare is not enshrined as a right in our Charter of Rights. That should be corrected by our Federal government to put a huge, hopefully insurmountable barrier in front of corporations.

A few days ago I engaged in some spirited discussion regarding privatization of healthcare. And doom scrolling on social media you'll find medical practitioners, pundits or concerned citizens commenting on the issue.Mastodon Canada
The family of a Vancouver woman who was forced to transfer hospitals before she could receive medical assistance in dying sued the province and Providence Health Care in June, saying the health organization's policy to ban MAID in its facilities violates patients' Charter rights.

"#TayTonday:
Being poor now just leads to being more poor later.
Can't pay to clean your teeth? Next year, pay for a root canal. Can't pay for a new mattress? Next year, pay for back surgery. Can't pay to get that lump checked out?
Next year, pay for stage 3 cancer. Poverty charges interest."

A good news story..
A large clinical trial in South Africa and Uganda has shown that a twice-yearly injection of a new pre-exposure prophylaxis drug gives young women total protection from HIV infection.

I forget who I learned this from, but it's pretty useful to add Reagan's face right around 1981 to help understand changes in US over time.
