Burned out by the pandemic, 3 in 10 health-care workers consider leaving the profession

14. The healthcare "system" in the U.S.A. was a nightmare *before* the pandemic.

It's no surprise the pandemic made it worse.

Yet there's this persistent myth the U.S.A. has the "best health care in the world."

We don't. Not by the overall health of our population and certainly not by the job satisfaction of our health care professionals.

Even the very wealthy can suffer inappropriate and dangerous medical care in the U.S.A..

And the cost of our healthcare is absurd.

When you think about it, U.S.A. culture tortures altruistic professionals in general, from teachers to doctors.

Anti-intellectualism is at the core of it.

The same fools who voted for Trump realize that educated people are a threat to their "way of life" and they don't like it.
