the US healthcare system is simply irrational and I refuse to believe it's purely driven by profit incentives https://twitter.com/into_the_brush/status/1234685467682979840
like what kind of economic incentives drive healthcare institutions, especially public ones, to NOT TEST YOU FOR A POTENTIAL PANDEMIC WITH AN INCREASING DEATH 3.5%+ RATE EVEN IF YOU SHOW ALL SYMPTOMS

US healthcare is product of late stage capitalism, medication is too expensive and if you don't have absurd amounts of money you are dead. This criticism comes from person who lives in fucking eastern Europe, even we have better healthcare
@nikolal if it were mere "late stage capitalism" I don't see why the world's most powerful government can't even manage tests in despite of irrationally panicked people
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one
@nikolal I think you're underestimating how uninterested and undermanaged a government can be
