So we would have all the equipment needed with M4A? The expansions needed in all our hospitals. The equipment to meet the next pandemic? The staffing would increase 100 fold?

Do you know anyone in the profession? The elders are retiring and hospitals are not training any one to take their place, you are telling me all that would change under M4A? Where is all that money going to come from. I grew up with a Doctor and four nurses in my family. Two are long gone (Grandparents). Two retired. One 94 the other almost 70 and may get called back. One active and treating COVID-19 patients.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
