'This is health care moonshot time': Pandemic pulls Biden, Dems further left

15. Goddamnit

I just spent all day with a covid patient. Came home, showered, and isolate for a bit.

Then I read this.

I am not happy.

Yes, we need universal healthcare, we also need enough nurses, enough equipment, enough PCPs, enough specialists in enough fields (watched an infectious disease doc finally be able to have two weeks off, and that was a sight)enough hospitals staffed appropriately, enough providers, enough clinics—also staffed appropriately—enough fucking medication development in the right areas and pricing that makes sense. We need payment plans and reimbursement plans that take into account the sheer population of the people who need healthcare.

What covid has unleashed, is the realization the infrastructure of healthcare is NOT FUCKING ENOUGH. It’s broken. Slapping M4A on a bill filled with words and a touch of math and calling it good is not going fix it. I’m so tired. Just...so tired.

Playtime is over. Cosplay socialism is a failure. The conversation needs to be thoroughly combed over, detail oriented, and real and constant

It’s not about “pulling” anybody left. That just a disgusting thing to infer, that Democrats do not want healthcare for their constituents. Jesus. who even thinks like that?
