"American physicians are now increasingly suffering from demoralization, which is not a reaction to a medical condition, but rather to the diseased systems they work for.
'For decades, at least tens of thousands of preventable deaths have occurred each year because health care here is so expensive,' said an article published on The New York Times on Feb. 5.
The United States is the only large high-income nation that doesn't provide universal health care to its citizens. Instead, it maintains a lucrative system of for-profit medicine.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the consequences of this policy choice have intensified. One study estimates at least 338,000 COVID deaths in this country could have been prevented by universal health care.
