Our own health care system is a complete mess; as Walter Cronkite once said, it’s neither healthy, nor caring nor a system. So if we’re going to hold China accountable we should do the same for ourselves — and that’s the purpose of [today’s column.](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRgNBNeP0TzaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMC8wMi8yMi9vcGluaW9uL3N1bmRheS9jaGluYS11bml0ZWQtc3RhdGVzLWhlYWx0aC5odG1sP3RlPTEmbmw9bmljaG9sYXMta3Jpc3RvZiZlbWM9ZWRpdF9ua18yMDIwMDIyMiZjYW1wYWlnbl9pZD00NSZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xNjIxMSZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTIxNTI5JnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MjIwMjAwMjIyVwNueXRCCgAjXo5RXuhY2p9SG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~) An election year should be the perfect time to do that. But Democrats are bickering over Medicare for All, which Congress will never adopt anyway. Instead, the focus should simply be on ensuring universal coverage whether through a single-payer system like Britain’s or a multi-payer system like Germany’s (both work well). Meanwhile, Trump is working to dismantle Obamacare, and 400,000 children have lost health insurance. That hasn’t gotten nearly enough attention. Think about that: parents who can’t take a son to a doctor if he’s not learning to speak, or a daughter if she’s not growing properly or has an ear infection. Since we began reporting for our book “Tightrope,” I’ve also been particularly indignant about the lack of dental coverage in America, and my column notes that 74 million Americans don’t have dental coverage, four times as many as lack medical coverage. So many Americans suffer constant, excruciating, debilitating toothaches in a way that just doesn’t happen in other affluent countries. [My column](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRgNBNeP0TzaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMC8wMi8yMi9vcGluaW9uL3N1bmRheS9jaGluYS11bml0ZWQtc3RhdGVzLWhlYWx0aC5odG1sP3RlPTEmbmw9bmljaG9sYXMta3Jpc3RvZiZlbWM9ZWRpdF9ua18yMDIwMDIyMiZjYW1wYWlnbl9pZD00NSZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xNjIxMSZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTIxNTI5JnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MjIwMjAwMjIyVwNueXRCCgAjXo5RXuhY2p9SG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~) also takes a whack at doctor and dentist groups, which have fought to create cartels that artificially hold up prices. Dentists do this by trying to block the licensing of dental therapists, who have less training and perform simple procedures, and doctors do this by limiting places for medical training and making it very difficult for qualified foreign doctors to practice in the United States. The upshot is that we have substantially fewer doctors per capita than other advanced countries, even though we spend far more per person on health (more than twice as much as France, even though we have worse outcomes). Still, health outcomes are often more determined by behaviors and social determinants than by doctor visits. Investing in early childhood education is one way to improve long-run health outcomes.

I thought Sanders responded appropriately by saying firmly that Russian interference shouldn’t be tolerated on behalf of anybody. Meanwhile, President Trump apparently was furious that the House Intelligence Committee had been briefed on Putin’s support for his re-election, and he then named Richard Grenell to be his acting director of intelligence. I’ve known Rick for many years, since he was the spokesman for John Bolton at the United Nations. He’s smart and knows international affairs, but he does not have a background in intelligence. Mostly, he’s a ferocious and partisan supporter of Trump — and that’s not the kind of person you want running the 17 intelligence agencies. This feels like one more step by Trump to undermine the institutions and norms that govern this country, and to shape the flow of information on which decisions are made.

I am glad that on Friday he said he would release several women from nondisclosure agreements, and I hope other corporations do the same. But Bloomberg’s problems went beyond that, and it’ll be interesting to see whether he can recover. While the liberal end of the party seems to be unifying behind Sanders, the moderate end is as split as ever. Meanwhile, Bernie Sanders struck me in the debate as disconcertingly angry. To me it was a negative. But I think many voters see that anger as a positive, as someone fighting for them. My take is still that while we have no idea what electability means, Sanders as a nominee would leave me nervous about his election prospects. And I’d be even more worried about the chances of Democrats running for the Senate in states like Alabama or Arizona — and it’s crucial this year who wins the Senate. In any case, health care should be one of the crucial topics for the election this year, and I hope Democrats hold Trump accountable for his lawsuit to destroy Obamacare without offering any replacement. To me, that’s not policy but vandalism.
