I trust the CDC’s guidance. But my fear of being mistaken for an armed robber is greater than my fear of Covid-19

Medicare for All – If not now, when?

 

April 8, 2020 11:28 AM CDT By John Wojcik

 

 

 

 
Medicare for All – If not now, when?
Initial statistics show African Americans far more likely to die of COVID 19 than white patients. Supporters of Medicare for All note that lack of good quality universal healthcare for everyone naturally impacts heavily on people who are poorer and without access to good quality healthcare. Those without such care are much more likely to suffer from underlying conditions that worsen the prospects for those hit with the virus. Hospital personnel assist people at a coronavirus screening tent outside the Brooklyn Hospital Center March 19. If they determine that someone may have the virus they are brought into the hospital. | Mark Lennihan/AP
