Ah, good 'ol whataboutism.

It doesn't change the fact Trump is being administered antiviral cocktails that your doctors would not readily provide you. It doesn't change the fact that Trump has around the clock care that you would not get. Yet, he happily puts Americans at risk by holding rallies and fundraisers while not encouraging social distancing and face coverings.

The problem with America is we all aim for the lowest common denominator. Whereas we should all strive for the best.

And that is the Democrat's worst nightmare.

With no pandemic, this election is over!

That's why they want everyone locked down and the economy in freefall.

Unless there is one in your state there is no penalty for not having health insurance, the federal mandate ended in 2019

Most Americans in a hospital with Covid or any other serious illness will have up to 10 docs or other specialized medical professionals treating them depending what their issues are.

Granted they wont be solely dedicated to you but you dont need them to be as they will be around regularly to check your status, order tests, etc.

You'll have a primary, a pulmonary, an infectious disease doc, maybe a cardiologist, possibly a physical therapist, respiratory therapist, etc. On top of that nurses round the clock.

Hardly. Maybe Trump supporters think that. The economy (that Trump shutdown) is still in the dumpster. There's unchecked riots. Nothing being done on police reform (no, Biden is not defunding police, so don't go down that line of thought).

Roll back to 2019. Before coronavirus dominated every thought, this was what was on American minds:

Climate Change
Economic Inequality
Affordable college education
Affordable health care
Affordable drug prescriptions
Federal deficit
Illegal Immigration
Abortion

That's all on the table right now too. It is just that coronavirus and the economy are at the top. If coronavirus did magically "go away" - we'd still have this litany of issues to think about when voting for a President.

I'm surprised that the trumpsters aren't swarming Walter Reed trying to break trump out and rescue him from the evil government doctors and nurses. I guess GOVERNMENT HEALTHCARE is good enough for trump but definitely not good enough for the average American.
I am sure that President Trump would PREFER to be treated by a PRIVATE doctor since he can afford it.

10 govt doctors = 1 private sector doctor

it depends on where you live.

interstate competition is a significant component of actual health system reform.

portability is another.

Trump is not bravely being anything. What choice does he have? People who are desperately ill try it all. He would be seriously ill if not worse had he not submitted to any and everything that the drug companies and doctors have available to throw at him. It doesn't take bravery to get on Covid cocktails and steroids so you can breathe. Anybody would do that. Unfortunately, most people who get seriously ill with Covid won't get that chance. And the over 200,000 who have died from it certainly didn't get that opportunity.

Im aware, thanks to the Trump administration. But it existed in Obamacare and made insurance expensive not affordable for many.

I probably get better medical care than 90% of you, does that make me a bad guy?
