Only in the US among developing countries do you care.

My experience getting a COVID vaccination was eye opening. I walked into a large facility, provided ID, was asked screening questions, consulted with a provider about a medical issue and got the shot.

I work for an employer with a legacy PPO. I suffered a back injury, had a major surgery and 8 weeks of physical rehab. My out of pocket was a few hundred bucks. I didn’t lose a days pay because of sick leave at half pay and short term disability insurance. The people I was in rehab with were losing jobs, selling cars, facing complete ruin.

The lack of ethical standards and focus on profit over the general welfare of the people is gross.
