American Healthcare continues to go backward

I heard once again the death of pharmacy. I stopped listening at that point. I'm glad I'm close to retirement.
I don't blame you. Trump's irrational health care policy sounds too good to believe to be true. This is because Trump said many drug prices would be slashed by 300 to 500%. I'm not so poor that I need drug companies to pay me to use them. I'm not that greedy. But please just slash drug prices by 100%, so I can get them for free. The price for Paxlovid when you need it for COVID is hugely high with or without most deductibles!

As far as health insurance companies are concerned it will be interesting to see how hugely high the deductibles will be before they will offer something affordable. It doesn't seem to be clear if you are required to spend the money on health insurance the government sends you. If I was a young person in my 20s, I can see myself not doing that. I didn't buy health insurance then and didn't regret not doing that.

Just solve things by offering Medicare For All. But also, at the same time have it figured out how to fix the shortage in health care professionals. Nobody should have to wait two months or more to see a cardiologist. And then another two months before you can get an appointment to have tests done recommended by the cardiologist.
