Andrew Harnik/APFor Andy Slavitt, former acting administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services under President Obama, the fundamental issue at play isn't simply a slow turnaround for virus test results or mask mandates."I think we see it everywhere," Slavitt tells NPR."We see it in the presidential briefings and the inability to trust what we hear
[about it]. We're used to hearing [drug recommendations] from the FDA. We're seeing it among ourselves when some people say that we should be wearing masks and we won't."You take the governor of Texas or Arizona, and you see the absolute hell that New York goes through and you don't trust it, and you don't take actions that the governors of New York and Connecticut are pleading with you to take.
Where this will really come to play out in the short order is when we have a vaccine. Will enough Americans trust that this vaccine is safe and effective when they've been hearing from various parties like the president that a certain drug is safe or a certain drug is not safe and there's not one body — the great institutions that we've come to trust as being impenetrable by politics, we're not sure if they are any longer.Some of it is cultural.
President Trump has worked to improve access to affordable quality health care. Under the Trump Administration, the Department of Agriculture provided over $1 billion in 2017 to be used to improve access to health care services for 2.5 million people in rural communities
We don’t trust what comes out of FAKE NEWS NPR!
The elegance of understatement
“Blindly trust us and we will make it go away.” What does someone say that’s so obviously full of crap “trust me”
Hysterical..... a liberal complaining about trust and lying. The hypocrisy.
What other job did he have? Something to do with the ACA right? Speaking of trust
It’s a hoax. They wanted to murder the elderly imho
I kind of see this but kind of don’t. I would never listen to a politician on this issue. I just read the science articles, info is out there. It’s your job to educate yourself. And listen to the docs. Never trust a politician, I thought everyone knew that.

It’s because we have a leader that has been all over the board on what’s going on! TrumpLiedPeopleDied
The Trump administration is killing America. This was his plan all along. TrumpFailedAmerica
