I'd love to see "How we stopped to be an economic parasite and started to pay taxes in markets of our operation, so public healthcare and services could serve the society of which Google is a part of"

Do you really think that lack of money in the US government is the reason for the health system failure?
Sadly over some level of corruption more money just doesn't help.
For me it's quite interesting what's Austria is doing, it's the only western country that is taking the virus seriously, or one of the few. In theory in a few days we'll see the difference, but in a week for sure.

Absolutely, yes. What's the biggest criticism people have against Bernie's medicare for all plan?

US is spending more on health per capita than any other country in the world. That money would be far enough to have a health system that may be not perfect, but similar to other developed countries that take care of all people (and produce a higher lifespen).
