Red Tape Pandemic

But the bed shortage is another consequence of bad law. Critical access hospitals in rural areas are not allowed to have more than 25 beds. Trump has now announced that he’s waiving those rules.

In some states, there’s a shortage of doctors or nurses. That, too, is often a product of bad law — state licensing laws that make it illegal for professionals licensed in one state to work in another. Trump said he would waive “license requirements so that the doctors from other states can provide services to states with the greatest need.” Then it turned out that he could only allow that for Medicare; he didn’t have the power to override stupid state licensing rules.

Yes, too much bureaucracy here for pandemic situations. Hopefully we're learning some lessons for the next one, that hopefully isn't in our lifetimes!

Thank you for the link. Dr. Colyer has been both my governor and my doctor. I wonder how many people can say they had the governor put their hand back together?

I trust him. I trust his opinion.

A couple of good quotes from Dr. Colyer regarding the use of hydroxychloroquine:

Quote

"But, the important thing is as a policymaker you are wanting to help people. As a doctor, I want to help people as well, but we have to get them the right drug. And, this is, frankly, the only one that is in our arsenal."

Quote

"As I like to say -- or the old saying is -- you know, you go to the war with the army you have, not the army you wish you had."
