Healthcare in the United States
It always shocks me when so many people defend the healthcare system in the United States of America. The idea that one’s health insurance should be tied to one’s employer, thereby putting all decision-making in the hands of that employer, who is very rarely putting the needs of its employees over the company’s bottom line. This practice is defended by so many that I cannot help but wonder if they have ever had health insurance that their employer did not provide. Or can it be that all of those people work for companies that put their employees’ healthcare needs over profits?

Rishi Sunak Delivers Spring Statement
Rishi Sunak has delivered his Spring Statement to the House Of Commons in which he gave details on how the economy was managing in the light of the Covid 19 pandemic and in the aftermath of the Brexit vote. Following the vote to leave the European Union, many people who were living in the UK from the European Union, or who were working for UK based companies will have had to leave unless they qualified for a so called “Settled Status”. This may have left many businesses who depend on workers from the European Union short handed as they will now have a number of vacancies which they will have to fill in order to cater for the clients they serve. This will have left them facing a short fall in the amount of revenue they will have built up through their businesses and will leave them having to resort to apply for benefits.
