We Need Better Primary Care #substack #shorts

Yeah, and of course, just on the hantavirus question, and then I want to go on to healthcare. But a hantavirus, it's actually quite hard to grow in the laboratory, and that makes it much more difficult for anyone to engineer it, and quite risky, because you could die trying to grow it up in your lab. So let's talk about healthcare. The US, as you know, pays more and gets less for healthcare than any other country in the world. And a lot of that is because our primary healthcare system is so weak. 100 million Americans don't have a regular doctor. And a lot of these problems would be so much better if people could go to a doctor or nurse practitioner, someone they trust, and say, hey, what's the real story here? And that person would know them, understand them, and understand how to speak to them in a way that they can trust. And if they don't like that doctor, they can find another one they trust. And if they don't trust any doctors, then, well, they have their own issues. But, you know, we don't have that.
