The reform needed is money based at the corporate level. Watch episode 1 of The Pitt and listen to all the commentary about the system, including the talk with the administrator, happening around the medical cases. THAT is the stuff that needs fixing. “Boarders” as they talk about, are very real.
Reform involves breaking big pharma. Reform involves breaking the nonsensical pricing practices of insurance companies. A CT scan should have 1 price. Period. But it does not.
If Kennedy had his way in 2020, there’d be no vaccine. Hospitals would’ve shut down because healthcare workers likely would not have stayed without it. (Yes, a sliver of workers into nonsense and anti vax left, but let’s not inflate those numbers alongside the majority of doctors, nurses, and other staff.)
Kennedy reform involves snake oil and nonsense instead of actual medicine. Raw milk? Really?
Also, the LA Times has gone fascist.
