Trump has already received treatments that are reserved for those whose insurance will pay for it and also for those who are nearing death. They have preemptively given him treatments that the young man in the video will have a lesser chance of receiving.

I said it once today and I'll say it again.

Regular folks do not get preemptive treatment with experimental drugs, they do not get therapeutics early or at first sign of a symptom, they do have to walk out of the hospital, while still sick, if the doctors need a bed for someone worse off.

Regular folks are usually stuck with million dollar bills after a loved one dies from COVID.

Regular folks deserve better...
