I'm not sure "patients wait for Medicare" is necessarily the right interpretation.
- sheeshkebab 6y agoAgree, patients wait for proper medical insurance and care would be better.
- toddh 6y agoWhich in the US means waiting for Medicare. Doesn't it? For most Americans there is no part of retirement and growing old that doesn't revolve around access to Medicare.
- breck 6y agoThis. Also, relatedly, speaking as someone who worked in National Cancer Institute-designated center, I can say that the reason why cancer has absolutely kicked our ass, that no one talks about, is actually because of paywall stuff like this. If you want to solve cancer, we need to abolish patents and copyrights. The combinatorics are still far outside our capabilities. At least 90% of the efforts of all cancer researchers are wasted, and we have less than 10% of the brainpower we need to solve it. Cancer is a political problem. Let's hope someone can get the truth to Biden. I have hope that he would have the courage to do what is right.
