5. BS's Misinformation That M4A Would Stop COVID-19 Is Harmful

I agree. Trump would run M4A to fail like he did the ACA.

On top of that, BS promotes misinformation about the causes of the current COVID-19 crisis.

First, a lot of developed countries with single payer are getting overrun with COVID-19 patients. COVID-19 is all about crisis management. The idea that single payer is some sort of cure all is just wrong.

Second, the argument about people harmed by healthcare costs related to COVID-19 could be addressed through direct legislation focused on this harm. Like the sick pay and direct payments, Congress can pass laws making COVID-19 related treatment free. Testing is free. However, going to back to crisis preparation and management, it is not about the cost of the tests, it is the fact that the Trump administration delayed the development and acquisition of adequate tests.



If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
