"Mad at UnitedHealthcare? Voted for Trump? You voted for U.S. to be run like UnitedHealthcare"--Joy Reid

The conversation around health care policies, corporate practices and economic frustrations, across partisan lines, has practically engulfed the actual story of a man brutally murdered outside of a New York City hotel.

The controversies plaguing the health insurance industry, and the history behind them, are analyzed on The ReidOut with Joy Reid.

Nina Simone (1933-2003)

"There's no other purpose, so far as I'm concerned, for us except to reflect the times, the situations around us and the things we're able to say through our art, the things that millions of people can't say. I think that's the function of an artist and, of course, those of us who are lucky leave a legacy so that when we're dead, we also live on. That's people like Billie Holiday and I hope that I will be that lucky, but meanwhile, the function, so far as I'm concerned, is to reflect the times, whatever that might be."
