It’s sad to think about, but isn’t the entire economy on the brink of uncertainty? What would give the medical system any exception to that besides the intervention by big brother - the exact intervention which really didn’t work during covid-19.
Our health care system was rotten and had broken incentives well before covid-19, I think the same factors that were keeping that system in the state before are now being stress tested and must either cave or continue to extract value in a self preserving way that would no longer work in this fast pace environment.

It’s a critical part of the civilization that once gone will endanger and lead to people dying in large numbers by things they ordinarily wouldn’t have died. There’s no fast way to replace them, too. Tangent, I’ve seen articles musing about hospitality staff shifting to these positions from hotels, restaurants, and the like. The article I read clearly had no firm grasp on the knowledge and years of training needed to replace a nurse or even a tech.
