US Healthcare System Vs This Pandemic

Posted on the 06 October 2020 by Morage @kebmebms

 Can we not now, with this pandemic, recognize and admit that our for-profit health care system in the US is clearly hurting Americans? We are supposedly, reputedly the "wealthiest nation in the world" and have the "best health care system in the world" but, but it's not universal health care.

US Healthcare System vs This Pandemic
We are the only Western, industrialized nation IN THE WORLD without universal health care.
We are the only nation in the world that has citizens declaring bankruptcy due to health care costs.
The number one cause of bankruptcy in the nation is health care costs.
With all that, finally, and, again, this pandemic, we have MORE DEATHS from this pandemic than ANY OTHER NATION IN THE WORLD.
Can we not see a connection between this for-profit health care system and all these pandemic deaths?
Can't we?
And then, can we maybe do something about all this?
We are, after all, "exceptional."
Right?
