Yep, tax those profiteering AND legislate to make their prices reasonable. Tax those profiteering from war too - those hawks who buy mainly, but by no means exclusively, republican reps who push for more war.

The medical system in the USA really is equiv. to that in a 3rd world country - access is by $$$ and profits are the go. Australia, under conservative governments for almost a decade, is moving towards the USA's system...we have universal healthcare but it's being chipped away and sold off.
Back on topic. Eric ought to have known & been advised better.
Now it's every one's fault but his.

If health care was easier to get,and affordable, if getting sick wasn't a bankruptcy event, if bleach, sunlight, ivermectin, Hydroxy and all the other maybes were real this wouldn't be a problem. If this was 1918 it wouldn't be a problem because people had faith in institutions, in proven therapies and not just in God Botherers and profiteers.

Clapton may mean well but he's doing a disservice. Van Morrison doesn't mean well, well he's just been mean for decades.

Most folk are suffering isolation, reduced income and stress...but these are still 1st world problems. Go to the 3rd world and talk about your druthers particularly to a refugee.
