The U.S. Congress......
They will probably pass a Senate "resolution", which means exactly nothing. Or they might set up a committee and recommend a bill. It will then go to the floor for debate and then go back to the committee. They will insert the recommendations from the debate into the bill and it will go back to the floor for a vote. If it passes, it will go to the House, where the process starts all over again. After they have made their changes and voted, it will go to conference committee to resolve the differences between the bills. Then both houses have to vote and pass it. Then it goes to the president's desk.......
How many people will die?
Or will they wait until after the presidential election to consider some kind of reform?
The bureaucracy is a ponderous beast.
I don't think we can count on much help from them in the foreseeable future.
We have to do this ourselves. Treatment will continue to be prioritized and people will be waiting for years. Market pressure is our best hope.
