64. This Tragedy is the Beginning

Mon Apr 27, 2020, 05:29 PM

Apr 2020

This tragedy is the beginning of a massive exodus from the US by doctors and scientists who do not have proper functional works place setting support. Practicing medicine in this country is painful because of insurance company greed. Doctors are not able to practice with a full deck.
We are going to have massive brain drain of our best and brightest. Health Care for All would fix this in part. This election has a lot riding on it! Vote Biden!!! And push him for universal health care.
