We hit your inbox eight mornings after the last issue, and two mornings after sharing our recent Skilled Nursing News interview. The Biden administration’s Covid-19 and economic recovery plans, vaccine updates, and an abundance of great reporting have made curation much more difficult this week. Brief summaries and quick links are provided to the key issues. First, through polls and reporting, we invite you to see where we are both as to the pandemic and the vaccines. Two brilliant articles on the UK experience, including the new strain, from the New Statesman (written by the lead Covid-19 columnist-reporter, a front-line practicing physician) and their look at Norway, Finland and Denmark are must reads.
Then examine the new administration’s economic recovery program that is closely integrated into his plan to combat Covid-19. Today’s economic recovery plan is over twice the 2009 effort, more targeted with virtually every penny both responding to the pandemic and providing a foundation for economic recovery. Biden’s plan, unlike the prior President’s, is to improve and expand the ACA. Click on The New York Times’ “One sentence in Biden stimulus plan reveals his health care approach: An increase in subsidies could drive millions to enroll in Obamacare marketplaces, experts say," for a look at how we can insure at a fair cost those who were in the ‘Donut Hole’ of too costly coverage.”
It is sunny and 75 outside the windows of our virtual offices in Culver City, CA; yet sunshine does not overcome the raging pandemic that surges through our great state of over 40 million people. An article on what went wrong with vaccinations and the persistent inequality in the Golden State end our issue.
From our couches in Culver City where we wrote most of this issue as we watched the inauguration driven on by the voices of Lady Gaga, J-Lo, Garth, a young poet Amanda Gorman from Los Angeles, and the voices of hope and change; we bring you the January 21, 2021 issue of Revitalize:
