But were afraid to ask.

We can “treat” disease but we aren’t lowering it. This has come glaringly visible during Covid-19 as we see poor and/or black Americans getting the disease in larger proportions than their general population distribution.

Who’s paying the deductibles and copays for someone who spends multiple weeks in ICU with maybe a week or two on a vent. Who’s compensating for the use up of lifetime maximums?

Technology never confronts this and the health system wants to ignore it to maintain the their for profit status quo
