America still isn't testing at sufficient scale. Contact tracing isn't happening at scale.
America is now running more tests per capita than the socialized healthcare systems of Western Europe. These systems don’t do contact tracing either.
The argument here is not that the US healthcare system is perfect, but rather that socializing it is not going to solve any problems it has.
- JSavageOne 6y agoThe whole point of universal healthcare is that everybody gets access to care, regardless of their employment status or wealth, and doesn't have to pay exorbitant fees or declare bankruptcy for it. Also testing in the U.S. during the last couple months of the coronavirus pandemic was very hard to get and extremely inadequate. None of my friends in NYC who requested tests were able to get access to tests.
