US healthcare system under pressure - cant cope

[Tommy Tainant]

Profit over people, cost over care: America's broken healthcare exposed by virus

There were 27.9 million people without health insurance in 2018, and record-high unemployment will increase that figure by millions

www.theguardian.com

The article makes some interesting points. Millions of Americans have lost their jobs AND their healthcare in this crisis. Surely the time is now right to put people over profit ?

A left-wing media source in the UK wants our healthcare system to be as broke and failing as their own?

Hah.

Got to love it the U.K. health system has been failing for years.

If the UK's health care system was as tremendous as Liberals say, British subjects wouldn't be coming to America for treatment, like Mick Jagger for heart surgery and George Harrison for lung cancer treatments.

explain how it is the hospitals could handle these flu figures but can't handle the wuhan numbers? which btw, are less than 2/3's of the hospitalizations? come on spin this one for us. can handle 410,000 but can't handle 60,000. explain it.

CDC estimates* that, from October 1, 2019, through April 4, 2020, there have been:
39,000,000 – 56,000,000
flu illnesses

18,000,000 – 26,000,000
flu medical visits

410,000 – 740,000
flu hospitalizations

24,000 – 62,000
flu deaths

I noticed they've started adding to the death total folks who died from otherwise natural causes ... pretty quick they'll be including everyone who died to justify the lock downs ...

Pure BS. I'm in a hot zone and the healthcare system is coping just fine

The politicians really get off on establishing new regulations and enforcing curfews/house arrest. They don't want to lose that power

Both Michigainians and Nevadatonians took to the streets yesterday ... the government doesn't have that power unless we give it to them ...

This is not only an American problem Tommy. Everywhere millions of people are losing their jobs due to coronavirus crisis and healthcare systems are under pressure all over the world.
Nobody really was expecting a pandemic in 2020

Tell me why your death rate in the UK is over twice as high as the US? Why does Italy, Spain, Belgium, Switzerland, France, Luxembourg and other social healthcare countries have higher death rates than the United States? We are on par with Ireland.

Go ahead, tell me why you are worse than the greedy US? Is your government failing you? It sure looks like your healthcare is inferior to ours.

The CDC's methodology for determining the number of flu deaths should be a matter of public information ... anyone can use this and determine how dangerous the Covid-19 virus is compared to the seasonal flu ... unfortunately we'll have to wait until all the data is in to make these calculations ...

Just something to be careful of when we read all these guesstimates in the commercial press ...

 

[2aguy]

Got to love it the U.K. health system has been failing for years.

And it is subsidized by the United States...if not for the U.S. military, U.S. medical innovation, and U.S. drug makers, the British healthcare system would have collapsed decades ago......

I hate this, and that is as bad as news as anyone can get if they're breathing and healthy. we're over 30 days on a lockdown from a virus with a 14 day gestation period and we still have to wait? why? all I want is a logical answer.
