Hartmann: Medicare for All and the pandemic profiteers

Governor "Death Sentence" DeSantis, and Repugnacons like him who are banning masking and vaccine mandates, do so for political points and bribe money. And per Hartmann having a single-payer healthcare system would eliminate such despicable practices. Some stats about the current for-profit system: 

"Nationally, roughly 1 out of every 3 COVID-19 deaths are linked to health insurance gaps. More than 40% of all COVID-19 infections are associated with health insurance gaps. By February 1, 2021, 10.9 million infections and 143,000 COVID-19 deaths may have been associated with health insurance gaps. For every 10% increase in a county’s uninsured rate, the researchers found a 70% increase in COVID-19 infections and nearly a 50% increase in deaths from COVID-19."

The countries that have single-payer eliminate the need to politicize the pandemic because everyone in those countries is taken care of. People are encouraged to get vaccines, wear masks and social distance. Their medial databases can quickly contract trace and prevent further spread. But it also eliminates the obscene health insurance profits and the bribes to the likes of Gov. Death Sentence. Without such corruption his ilk cannot get away with sacrificing children to pad his retirement plan.
