Today, as the coronavirus kills more than two thousand Americans every day, President Donald Trump’s political opponents blame him for everything. Supposedly, he ruined health care, couldn’t provide beds for the sick population and did not appreciate the danger of COVID-19 in time.
However, the collapse of American medicine began in the late 90s for most of the population. Trump was just trying to slow it down. For example, he launched an open war against American “Big Pharma.” However, it was almost impossible to win. For many years, one of the main problems of American health care has been the price of medications whose steady growth is due solely to the greed of producers.
