NEW YORK (AP) — The coronavirus pandemic has touched every part of New York City, but new data shows it is hitting especially hard in neighborhoods that tend to be poorer and might be more likely to have many people living under one roof.
The need for a universal healthcare system (Medicare for All or expansion of ACA) that is a single payer system was great and compelling before but it is NOW an existential need!
neighborhoods that tend to be poorer and might be more likely to have many people living under one roof.
We’re going to see this phenomenon in all urban areas.
{AP} We will report on things. But we will never tell you how they got that way. That would be investigative journalism, and that’s not how we roll.
Don’t count on Trump (or Moscow Mitch) to do the right thing.
And rural retirement/nursing homes.
How would M4A mitigate a pandemic other than allowing the hospitals to get paid?
The Bernie-ites keep claiming it as proof of their righteousness, but Covid-19 doesn’t care if you’re covered, or not. I’d assume nearly 100% in poor communities are already on Medicare and Medicaid to start with, including all seniors and almost all children.
First of all, I am not a supporter of Biden or Bernie BUT I will vote for the 2020 Dem Nominee. Second of all, I am not a health expert, hence I am attaching a link to the WHO Universal Healthcare Coverage page (UHC)
“UHC means that all individuals and communities receive the health services they need without suffering financial hardship.”
My understanding wrt to a pandemic is that it is like a fire…caught early/early mitigation, it can be extinguish with minimal damage or not mitigated early, it can spread more and cause more damage.
The role of pandemic mitigation is upon the government and its citizens. As a citizen, one can save lives by staying-at-home since most of us do not know if we have Covid or just asymptomatic. Wrt to the government, Trump Maladministration had been sabotaging ACA for years now and they have failed miserably in Covid mitigation…long story!
If US has a universal healthcare system, then an uninsured American with complications might not have a sky high bill of approximately $35K.
This is all good information I am aware ofm but it has nothing to do with health insurance for citizens as a curative for a pandemic.
Also, the M4A crowd will attack anyone advocating the goal of "Universal Coverage, because it goes against their script and their savior, or hadn’t you noticed?
UHC or health insurance WILL NOT CURE A PANDEMIC but it will lessen the financial burden of the infected or sick person if one has health insurance, regardless if it is unpopular with a certain uninformed crowd.

Would you expect anything less from the Trump Pandemic?
Bring out your (poor) dead!
