We should give US doctors lots of PPE for no cost.
Then a few months later, mail the hospitals bills for every person involved in making those masks. Also separate bills for the "specialists" who packed them into cardboard boxes. Then a month later we should send them another bill explaining that we decided the original mask shipment actually wasn't covered under their donation plan.
If they have trouble paying we should let them know we have payment plans available.
Yeah it is rather ironic all this talk about price gouging in a state of emergency when hospitals do it all the time, especially for emergencies where the person has no choice.
Oh masks cost 5x as much now? What a tragedy, they are charging 1-3 orders of magnitude markup on everything, all the time. But now people want to talk about “ethics”?
I hope when this is all over that is sparks a serious conversation about the healthcare mafia. A lot more needs to change before throwing tens of trillions of dollars at them for Medicare for all.
