Will this crisis change the way medical care is delivered in this country?

It has already exposed many flaws in our system. There are not enough doctors, nurses, hospital rooms, or ventilators to handle a pandemic like we may encounter in the next few weeks.

How will make sure that all Americans have access to coverage? What reforms will need to be made with the insurance companies in this country?

Will the people be more open to a system like MFA once we get thru this experience?

The "Achilles heel" of the American medical system has been exposed.

1. I am hoping it will make it easier for the Biden Administration to add a public option to the ACA

Also, I hope it will allow for mandatory sick leave to be the law for every employer.

2. One change I can think of: we'll all get far less care. Because there will be far fewer folks to

PROVIDE it.
Doctors,nurses,technicians, they’re all on the front line and there will tragically be casualties.

No way we can train replacements fast enough.

My prediction is care will be more costly and far less accessible for a long time.
