Column: The coronavirus crisis exposes the stupidity of Trump’s healthcare policies

LA Times  

President Trump speaks about the coronavirus on Saturday and is flanked by National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Anthony Fauci, Vice President Mike Pence and Robert Redfield, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. — David Anderson, Duke University Trump’s hostility to public health programs blinds his administration to how to use the tools already at hand to combat the threat. The administration proposal does offer a relief valve in the event of “unforeseen circumstances out of the state’s control, such as a public health crisis.” But it’s not a simple fix. As health insurance expert David Anderson observes, “If there is widespread community infection and plenty of people unexpectedly being admitted to hospitals for significant care, things could get expensive fast in an unanticipated manner.” Medicaid block grants, however would create “a lag and an uncertainty on the part of a state as to whether or not a public health crisis will have additional federal funding under a proposed Medicaid block grant. The main problem with Trump’s healthcare policies raised by the coronavirus crisis is its uncaring approach to the beneficiaries of the nation’s healthcare programs, especially Medicaid and the ACA.
