60% of Americans are looking at #COVID as a potential medical debt bankruptcy event. They are not about to rush to a doctor at the 1st sign of the disease symptoms. They will self-medicate & hope for the best.

Av Insurance deductible c $1900.
Most Americans can’t cover $1k

⬇️
And, remember, that is $1900 PER PERSON.

Now think of a whole family.

@GTCost asks

“Is the Fed going to start monetizing insurance deductibles? Is that what @CDCgov @CDCemergency are going to advance as a systemic solution to the systemic crisis?”
I did read a suggestion today that Obamacare covered Federally mandated screening tests. But I think there are still insurance deductibles. I hope @GTCost might be able to confirm?

But what if you then have to be admitted? What will that cost in deductibles?
It is hard for us in the U.K. to get our heads around this, given we know this will all be free at point of contact. The cost of administration in the U.K. is a fraction of the USA because it isn’t insurance based.
