If personal protective equipment like masks, gloves, and gowns are being sold overseas, it means that Trump doesn’t believe in America first. It also means that hospitals around our country aren’t bidding for these items as much as those overseas because they want to save money.
Hospitals will gladly take free stuff from people who donate masks and PPE out of the goodness of their hearts in the middle of an emergency, yet they fire doctors and nurses who speak out about the conditions within the hospital. And they don’t want to pay more money for masks.
These same hospitals will charge you $500 for a liter of saline when your life depends on it. We the American people need to hold the powerful accountable for their abuse. This goes for the President of the United States as well as powerful institutions within corporate medicine.
Anyway, this is just food for thought the next time you are in the hospital being treated by a doctor or nurse using garbage bags and a diaper on their heads to protect you and themselves from the coronavirus.
