True, but USA’s system is disproportionately worse than every other high income country. As in, exponentially more expensive health care plus worse overall health indicators.
Also, “Govt controlled” health care is single payer, there are many models of universal care.

Vaccine trials need to be done. Why aren’t they being done in parts of Europe or the USA where case loads of
#COVID19

Also medical racism... this kind of thing has a long and gruesome history.
