Dear Insurance Companies

You had better be pressuring the Trump Administration to move mountains to obtain the massive numbers of test kits that are needed for coronavirus, and removing any obstacles to paying for this testing, unless you want to go bankrupt paying Intensive Care for epidemic victims who are lucky enough to be insured.

Letting anti-social mental midgets like Alex Azar speak about vaccine makers needing a profit motive is not a good poster image for capital-controlled pharma. But you the insurance companies got a lot to lose if incompetence governs during this epidemic.

In fact, you COULD band together and agree to pay for ALL testing whether or not people are INSURED, on the grounds that it’s good for the whole herd.

Signed,
An Actual Human.
