I don't know about hypocritical, but I do think this experience is going to force us to re-examine our health care system and hopefully address its massive pain points. For example, many MANY hospital systems are going to lose billions of dollars in revenue due to COVID-19, and will very likely require massive bailouts to keep running. American health care is still generally fee-for-service and hospitals make their money largely through elective surgeries and procedures. Now that elective surgeries and most outpatient services are canceled/postponed across the board, many hospitals are looking at their books and planning for layoffs. The integrated systems like Kaiser that have a global budget will do better, but lots of COVID-related stays (ICU) are extremely lengthy and costly, so they may have to tap into their reserves to keep afloat.
On the flip side, while insurance companies won't be having to pay out as much $$ in covered services that were canceled/postponed, they could be facing huge enrollment losses as people lose their jobs and their insurance (while the Exchange is available, many of the unemployed won't be able to afford coverage) - not to mention losing employer accounts when those employers go belly-up. So premiums may go up next year in a big way. And this with the GOP still trying to kill the ACA! I think we're in for a significant reset when this is all over, and maybe it will spur legislation to get us at least a few steps closer to universal healthcare. I'd love to see automatic enrollment into an Exchange policy with subsidies automatically applied when someone loses their job -- wishful thinking, but removing the bureaucracy of signing up for a new policy would be huge.
All politicians support universal healthcare for the elderly -- I'm hoping this crisis will help the stubborn among them see that it's extremely beneficial for all Americans, *especially* in situations just like this where the economy tanking + communicable disease = a perfect storm.
