Maybe there's a gradual path into universal healthcare. If this epidemic pushes the US to discover it, it could result in a net saving of lives in just a couple years.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2775760/ …

Universal healthcare does not mean private companies do not do tests or make medicines. It means everyone gets a set minimum care. You should still be able to get bells and whistles with extra payments.

The best path is to address nutrient sufficiency and how it relates to disease prevention. Universal healthcare becomes a bottomless pit without it.

I think the president and congress wound rather pay pharmaceutical and health insurance executives first. Isn’t that how it’s supposed to work?

I don't understand why industry leaders don't push to lower the Medicare age to 55 or maybe 50. This could do a lot to fix both health care and age discrimination.

The virus won't just disappear once summer hits. It'll go dormant. In the fall it'll wake up *everywhere*. The second round of Spanish flu did the most damage and I expect this to be similar. This would be a good time to inject more socialism into healthcare, even temporarily.
