I generally agree but just to clarify I didn’t say overbuild—just more than our current capacity which seems to be admittedly inadequate for the current crisis.

I generally agree but just to clarify I didn’t say overbuild—just more than our current capacity which seems to be admittedly inadequate for the current crisis. We have no flexibility.
Look at how many fewer deaths there are in countries with universal healthcare. Maybe when we don’t have to pay useless middlemen like insurers then we can spend the money to hire more healthcare workers. I think it’s just our for-profit healthcare is always going to provide the bare minimum for the highest cost—-and is woefully unprepared for this pandemic.
