There aren't "tens of trillions of dollars" people can spend on healthcare. Making everyone sick collapses the economy, and these companies would be negatively impacted by it.
Face masks are running out in many countries, not just the US. This isn't really a product of the atrocious healthcare system the US has, it's just a product of not being well-prepared for disaster scenarios.

- scrollaway 7y agoYou don't need to wait to do some basic logic checking on your post. You said it yourself: "Here we are talking about profits comparable with the entire world's wealth". What do you exactly think is going to happen if americans try to spend "the entire world's wealth" on health care? I don't believe your implications but even I could make a more convincing case for them than that.
