According to Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, the coronavirus pandemic shows that “a for-profit health care system does not work when we’re dealing with a global pandemic.”

The U.S. now has over 550,000 confirmed cases of coronavirus, and various hospitals across the countries have struggled with a surge in patients and deaths.

And this can cause a problem for hospitals that rely on funding from elective procedures in order to pay staff and maintain day-to-day operations. Some hospitals are already laying off staff even as coronavirus strains hospital systems. ‘A wake-up call’ for the countryAnother issue with the health care system that the coronavirus pandemic highlights, Sayed said, is the fact that 10% of the population, or roughly 28 million people, doesn’t have health insurance at all while another 50% have their health care “behind a paywall because their deductible is so high.”

Story continuesFor the remaining 38 states, the Trump administration declined to create a federal special enrollment period, instead opting for promised cash payments to be distributed to hospitals that treat uninsured patients.
