Bernie was correct but it will not change anything

Hidden in our capitalistic venue is our money and our welfare.

We worry about our money and our portfolio. We are self centered.
If we had pushed for national healthcare and got it we would all be
bitching about the costs.

We would not have known about a virus we may have stemmed
nor would we have known we could have saved Wall Street.

Much better than I.

Those without healthcare are the ones I am worried about
and those of us with healthcare are being left out.

My take is that we are unprepared. Hours, not weeks, are very important.
We need everybody tested and weeks ago. The hospitals can't test us
today. In the end Universal Healthcare would have been a money saver.

I fear the future.
