New York looting ventilators and N95s from rural hospitals.
Governor Cuomo of New York signed an executive order using armed national guard members to seize personal protective respirator masks and ventilators from rural hospitals, and 'reallocate' these to metro New York City hospitals. To me, it seems he is dooming physicians, nurses, and staff, outside the NYC metro, to infection. If you listen to his full update, he is imploring President Trump to extend this confiscation of ventilators and PPE to other states. Certainly I expect physicians in...

American Healthcare Post-Covid
After Covid is behind us, and after all the finger pointing, political grandstanding, societal outrage, rational analyses (financial, clinical, logistical, etc), and doctoral dissertations are completed, will the US:
* continue with the same pre-Covid patchwork of for-profit + non-profit + boutique + university academic healthcare
* morph into essentially socialistic nationalistic healthcare a la UK, France, Germany? ”You get what you ’need’, not what you want.”
* something entirely...

Government is full of crap on COVID-19 testing
I cant believe the level of total utter chaos in the COVID-19 testing sphere, something every country has been able to figure out without much trouble.
To recap:
~Trump said testing would be free for those who want it
~Gavin Newsom said there would be NO co-pay
~Pence now says that even UNINSURED will get the test for free
Fine, fine I get this is totally steamrolling...
CMS is real sh!t disturber of this theater of the absurd released a guidance in 2018 basically saying they would pay...
