Yes, US health policy leaves much to be desired. But a few points:

Up to eighty percent of people on ventilators die to Coronavirus die. (This percentage is so shockingly bad that some doctors are doing all they can to avoid or delay using them.)

Most who need ventilators for Coronavirus are older and have other health issues already.

As someone in a high risk category due to being medically handicapped, I will suggest that a lot of those people aren't hale and hardy enough to have a good job with good benefits. I've done freelance work for years.

Though, yes, it's true: In spite of the "all homeless are junkies and crazies" meme, serious health problems and their cost are a significant contributor to people ending up homeless in the US. Another major piece is our lack of appropriate housing options.

In addition to fixing healthcare, the US desperately needs to fix it's housing issues.
