Healthcare hindsight

It would seem it would have been better if we spent less on a wall and more on our health care system. If I remember correctly, I read that the previous administration recommended more money for the CDC in developing a better medical disaster program. That was shelved by Congress to make room for a tax relief program instead. Now, we need our industries and a strong economy, but if we don't have healthy workers to man those industries and healthy citizens to promote the economy, we wind up in a standstill that will takes months to recover from. So where are we now? We are sending money to the citizens we failed to protect and a health care system we failed to improve. Hindsight is 20/20 for sure but it can't be the norm.
