This is not a productive viewpoint, it’s defeatist. How would socialized medicine help in this specific case? More power to the government? The government already has plenty of power to influence outcomes through spending. However, that power has been applied poorly. We need mass repeal of old government regulations and the appointing of technocrats (as in people concerned with low level details of regulations). Additionally we need new highly adversarial independent regulatory bodies to prevent capitalistic interests from causing market collapse. The current agencies are too in bed with industry, and it’s not beneficial to the public. Giving more power to the current government systems which rolled out this poor response seems like the wrong answer.
