(2021) UTVK03 20211Sociology
- Abstract
- For many years, the United States’ inability to provide basic universal healthcare has been a mystery. Why does the richest country in the world not have the best healthcare and the best health outcomes? This study examines the disposition of US opposition to publicly funded healthcare. It is a qualitative case study comprised of articles from the right-wing media outlet Breitbart News during the 2020 presidential election. The textual and thematic analysis aims to shed some light on how this outlet represents their opposition to healthcare policies such as the Affordable Care Act and Medicare for all.
