i don't understand why people didn't take you seriously when you ran for president! the content of your views are so obviously correct ! - what more can i say - you see clearly - with an agenda of benefit to PEOPLE and to the potentialities of a democratic system (which really cannot operate when greed is the driving force.) keep seeing and talking - hopefully more and more will listen, heed and act

Here's what I don't understand Marianne, I'm born and raised in England, lived in Oz 8 years, why isn't it explained to Americans healthcare in England is paid for by the people. So much is deducted from your wages each week depending on how much you earn. If you aren't sick much then that goes to help those that are. It's an altruistic system.

Yes thank you Marianne. Since I heard your podcast with Harvey J. Kaye, I’ve started reading and studying about Franklin Roosevelt and all his accomplishments during a horrific time within our history. I am so inspired by this man. It’s as if a light has been turned on… thank you again Marianne.

Yes, all true. But this last week in the US has been a triumph of sorts for democracy. Things can change. November.

Beautifully said, Marianne. I consider you one of the great thinkers, up there with Krishnamurti and the like. I look forward to meeting you in Vancouver and hear you speak some more. God bless. Keep up the good work and keep remembering that love always wins in the end.

Anyone who has experienced the friendly, competent medical staff in a "socialized" medical system understands. Medicine SHOULD be a service, not a for profit endeavor with over worked/underpaid staff

intent on getting billing codes correct lest their own heads roll, vs tending to their patients. Yes, we americans have been sold a TON of BS. Thanks for your clear and present gift of clear sightedness and truth telling.

This is so good Marianne. Thank you. Stephan Schwartz calls our health care system the “Illness Profit Industry.” I wonder when people will wake up and get angry enough to toss the corporate lackeys out of Congress and replace them with women and men who actually represent us, the people.

Yes, incredible. My baby was born in Ireland I had to stay in the hospital for 10 days due to complications and I owed 0 $. I got special care because of my condition. In Ireland they have

A maternity hospital just for women, It was a wonderful experience, this was 30 years ago. 💗

Hi Marianne,

I'm glad you got to visit Australia, and that we can be an inspiration for you.

It's not just health care and education that we have here in Australia, it's the whole social security safety net. It's unemployment benefits, parenting payments, student allowances. It's minimum wages and holiday pay.

But the big difference between Australia and the USA is possibly the preferential voting system, which encourages a range of minor parties, especially in the Upper House.

The beautiful public spaces that you admired attract the tourist economy, as well as making livable cities.

You're doing great work, and I love your combination of ACIM and politics. It's great for us to do the inner work, and then to apply it to the world.

I'm sorry I didn't get to see you when you came to Australia. Next time you'll have to come to Tasmania.

Couldn’t agree more, thanks for this Marianne. We mustn’t rely on the politicians to make the change you speak of, it’s up to each of us to be informed and active on the solutions, starting with the most powerful tool at every American’s disposal… VOTE and promote THE VOTE.
