How worried are you about the future?
Genuinely not wanting to be a Debbie Downer but I starting to feel a bit of dread regarding an increasingly bleak future in US healthcare.
I am someone who is not overly worried about AI taking my job, at least not anytime soon, but the energy crisis, the AI bubble propping up the stock market, the spiraling national debt (thanks party of fiscal conservatives!), the apparent reality that many health systems are operating at a loss and the Medicaid cuts still coming after midterms and the potential for further political instability and tantrums from the angry orange when republicans lose the midterms. It all feels a bit dire.
I’ve always felt like the US system was broken but would keep plugging on. I used to have hope it would get incrementally better. Now I feel like there’s a genuine possibility healthcare and the country could collapse completely. I don’t think it’s a huge chance but it does seem possible. Am I just catastrophizing? Are any of you feeling like the band on the Titanic?
