America’s healthcare system
has truly failed her. The current pandemic shows it. The system
didn’t decently keep out the Wuhan Communist virus when it very
much could have. It didn’t create or manufacture enough disease
tests on time. It hasn’t discovered, and isn’t using, the right
drugs and treatments. It isn’t moving near fast enough on inventing and
distributing a vaccine. The failure of the American medical system is
horrific.
Hence,
America’s social life is in ruins, the economy is being
systematically destroyed, and people are dying like flies.
Most
of this is due to the American healthcare system refusing to stand up
to the American political system. It’s due to doctors and medical
scientists refusing to support the healthcare utopia of liberty and
laissez-faire capitalism. Tyranny is everywhere in the system and the
medical folks today hardly breathe a word of complaint.
Free
market advocates are essentially non-existent. Virtually the entirety
of healthcare professionals object to the principle of
political coercion and dictation in their industry not a jot. Thus
innovative, brilliant, miraculous products and services in medicine
roll out at a snail’s pace and cost a king’s ransom, courtesy of
the dictates of the FDA, CDC, NIH, and other tyrannical regulatory
agencies which have no right to even exist.
Yet
American healthcare companies, hospitals, clinics, universities,
pharmacies, doctors, nurses, researchers, and caretakers denounce and
fight these red tape monsters hardly at all. While American patients
suffer and die in droves, America’s medics meekly bow down and
submit to Big Brother.
So
here we are. The health and wealth of America has been devastated
by this disease from a ruthless enemy.
But
maybe it’ll get worse. Perhaps today’s ghastly Medicare,
Medicaid, ObamaCare, and Regulatory Abottoir will soon be
supplemented or replaced by “Medicare for all”. This threatened
nightmare of universal CommieCare promises to be resisted by
America’s medical establishment not at all. Indeed, these
loathsome bastards may welcome it with open arms.
The
incompetence and failure of America’s current healthcare system is
a sight to behold. Remarkably slow and negligent service, mixed with
sky-high costs, and low-quality treatments. What a combination! And
they can’t even get the name of the current disease right.
The
Wuhan Communist virus pandemic shows everyone in the land the true
nature of America’s medical system: wretched and rotten to the core.
This is absurd. Deaths per million people, as of April 5, are:
ReplyDeleteSan Marino......943
Spain...........270
Italy...........263
Andorra.........233
Belgium.........125
France..........124
Netherlands.....103
Switzerland......83
UK...............73
Iran.............43
Sweden...........40
Ireland..........32
Denmark..........31
United States....29
So it's the United States that is in shambles because of its "free-market" health care?
Our system isn't really free-market in the first place, but is it is a lot less socialized than these other countries. Methinks I smell ideological possession.
Dan Sullivan -- I'm proudly and defiantly an "ideologue". Or at least a limitless champion of liberty, justice, and individual rights.
ReplyDeleteBut I still think the U.S. medical community's response to the pandemic --- and everything else related to health -- has been dismal. The American Medical Association especially seems to adore tyranny.
This whole situation could and should have been handled MUCH differently -- much more like Sweden. And I think the politically-stupid, freedom-hating, American doctors are hugely to blame.
