I wonder if part of the monumental task of sorting out and undoing the decades-long fraud, waste, and corruption inherent in all of these systems and programs is going to mean that they must be rebuilt from scratch? I don’t know how they do it otherwise. The problem then is to make sure the necessary programs and systems are reinstated, and that is unfortunately at the whim of people who might not understand how to even ascertain the worthiness.
I know in the world of Medicaid and social security recipients, there is absolute hysteria. I believe the administration has prioritized not having a complete undoing. Too many people right here would fall through the cracks catastrophically. Also, there is huge public backlash and protest to the mere notion of “messing with” those programs, and that is part of what has prevented anyone from doing so up to this point.
I absolutely agree that certain infections should be tracked robustly and that our researchers and medical providers should be on top of the latest in terms of prevention and treatment. We would be misguided to put it mildly to drop this important work in favor of building things from scratch.
