Hey, friends, Abdul here. Before we get started, I want to tell you how excited I am about my upcoming book published with Dr.

Micah Johnson, Medicare for all a Citizens Guy.

Tomorrow we get to the hard work of actually solving the problems that have been festering for so long under the Trump presidency.

And one of them is our failed healthcare system that this pandemic has fundamentally exploited.

We could do so much better if we were willing to really take on healthcare at its core.

And Medicare for all we take on the big questions, is it going to cost too much, is it going to force people to ration healthcare?

Is it going to take away our choice and we deal with each one of them.

I hope that you'll check out the book Medicare for all book.com.

Now here's the thing, in order for this book to have the intended consequence to move our public conversation to reignite this conversation about Medicare for all, we got to make it a best seller.

I'm told by my editors that we've got to sell 5,000 copies by February 1st.

I hope that you help us out. Medicare for all book.com out February 1st.

Now onto the show.

We set another weekly record for COVID-19 deaths as hospitals around the country weigh rationing care.

America officially gets a new president tomorrow and he's proposed a $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package that includes support for small businesses,

$1,400 COVID relief checks, unemployment support and support for state and local governments.

We remain woefully behind on vaccine deployment, having administered 14 million doses.

We were supposed to have 20 million by the end of 2020.

This is America Dissected. I'm your host, Dr. Abdul-Elsaid.

And tomorrow we get to drop the elect from President-elect Joe Biden.

In Shalom Allah.

I spent part of my childhood in Missouri, where every morning in elementary school, we recited the Pledge of Allegiance before singing my country Tiz of the.

America the Beautiful and the Star Spangled Banner.
