Emerg leads have made it clear that they are willing to meet with govt and to work on this ongoing crisis… but govt just doesn’t seem interested, and definitely does not share our sense of urgency.

This is unacceptable. Nearly a month after promising "immediate" action, the UCP has delivered only silence. They are ghosting the AMA while preventable ER deaths continue. 📉 No meeting. No accountability. No response. 💔🩹 A heartless communications exercise.

Even if they chose to get right on it, the supply chain, business process, and fin'l changes being undertaken by the ROTW are moving forward. Probably 2 - 3 years before we really see the effects, and it's gonna be ugly for the US.

If a rational government ever replaces the Trump regime, they will need to be honest with the public, specifically that they will not and cannot fix this mess in at least a generation. Possibly ever.
