Jesse Jackson Jr tackles the Health Care Industry Dec 12, 2025

Show notes

It’s "Worldwide" with PL De Silva PhD and special guest, Shiva Ayyadurai PhD, inventor of the email and healthcare expert. This jaw-dropping discussion on the policies and news around the world that impacts us every daily, laid our healthcare system, bare and naked from pharmaceuticals to the institution itself, which allows for congressional-sanctioned kickbacks. What is the fix for that? And what will “we” have to do in order to fix it? In the second hour, Dr. Johnny Mack and Jesse Jr continue their look through the lens of Dr. Martin Luther King upon our people, our country, the world and the humanity that lives in "The World House." Today’s reflection piggybacked on the first hour’s discussion during “Worldwide” on the healthcare system - what Dr. King would say about our national budget and its distribution, and the neglect of the human right to be healthy, and why won’t “we the people” demand more…unless “we” just don’t know better or can’t see past capitalism’s lure.
