Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and just about the only official in the Trump administration trusted to tell the truth about the coronavirus, said last Thursday:"The system does not, is not really geared to what we need right now.... It is a failing. Let's admit it."
The ad hoc response fashioned late Friday by House Democrats and the White House may help a bit, although it's skimpy, as I'll explain. Instead of a public health system, we have a private for-profit system for individuals lucky enough to afford it and a rickety social insurance system for people fortunate enough to have a full-time job.
Contrast this with America's financial system. The Federal Reserve concerns itself with the health of financial markets as a whole. Late last week, the Fed made $1.5 trillion available to banks at the slightest hint of difficulties making trades. No one batted an eye.
COVID19
No, really? 🙄
Robert Reich hates WASPs. He wants America to fail if WASPs are in charge. It’s part of his Bolshevik revolutionary spirit. Ignore and shun him RBReich AnnCoulter ggreenwald MariaBartiromo JRubinBlogger Peggynoonannyc robreiner RandPaul TuckerCarlson seanhannity
What do you expect of a country where money is everything,capitalism doesn’t make allowances for disasters like the virus and a Republican majority government
Ronald Reagan dismantled USPHS as one of his very first acts of destruction. He was a shitty governor, a worse president. Ushered in the era of greed and selfishness which we still suffer under.
Wasn’t a secret. Every American knew it and people from civilized countries mocked us for it.
Nonsense wasn’t a secret 🙄
Lucky America! Well, 'public health system' á la Hillary Obama, means working Americans have to pay for millions of lazy benefit cheaters! Just like in stupid Sweden on recession from invasion of criminal asylum seekers
Mr. Reich you are wrong, again! Every county and parish has a Health Unit.
This was not a secret. America you have been deluded and duped.
IslandGirlPRV This pip squeak' has turned out to be another sign on WH. air breather' for a fast buck! Just another water down of his CDC' self! Next..
We are fine. The media is the problem. At me.
Well yeah because this administration has been dismantling it from the beginning of this presidency!
This is US Achilles heel.
With everything closing and Truck Drivers delivering all the items bought up in consternation brings a question to mind How are TRUCK DRIVERS using bathrooms?
Our health system is strictly driven by profits. It has nothing todo with curing the sick.Get em in, get em out, and price gouge them. They buy Congress and rape the public. And then there’s Pharma ! Disgusting.
Big Government fails localities. Thankfully, America is a Republic. Each state is responsible for a state response. Each locality is responsible for having a response. States received stimulus cash to develop this response in '08. Did your town buy more guns or more respirators?
Not a secret 2 folks like me, born w/neurosarcoidosis, Black, ward-of-the-State, & “uninsurable” until BarackObama’s ACA abolished preexisting conditions. Public health that treats poor, sick, Black folks like guinea pigs, junkies, or both w/racial bias & annoyance? We know😡
Legit not a secret
Please this is no SECRET. Non-priveldged people unlike you have know this for decades. C'mon!
Very bad
We RN’s already knew that. What’s Plan B?
Only according to free stuff leftists.
Here we go. You mean like China has? Like Italy has? Please.
If we are going to blame China for COVID19, then we also have to acknowledge that they've done us a huge favor because it put a spot light on how shitty our economic system is and our health care system sucks. İt also taught us how to wash our hands
It's revealing this is a bubble economy and when you live in a bubble any old virus will kill you.
Robert Reich: Coronavirus is revealing a secret, China can mess with the world at will and get away with it...
Could have fooled me !
IslandGirlPRV Not a secret, the poor have known this for some time.
Secret
That was a secret?
