The Post's oped pages are always open to the voices of the suffering and the dispossesed. In the last two weeks we've heard wailing on behalf of the insurance industry, the pharmaceutical industry, and now the doctors. Doctors in the U.S. are struggling to get by on just $200,000 a year (net of malpractice insurance). This is only twice as much as doctors get in other wealthy countries. How can they make ends meet?
There's too much at stake this November for us to quit. As we navigate another presidential election year, thoughtful independent journalism is more important than ever. We're committed to bringing you the latest news on what's really happening across the country this election season, shining a light on the stories corporate media overlooks and keeping the public informed about how power really works in America.
Quality reporting doesn't come for free, and we don't have corporate backers to rely on to fund our work. Everything we do is thanks to our incredible community of readers, who chip in a few dollars at a time to make what we do possible. Any amount you give today will help sustain this crucial work.
