Our Malady Irony

The duty of the American healthcare system

Snyder argues that it is the duty of the American healthcare system to provide adequate healthcare for US citizens. However, the American healthcare system is currently run like a business and often neglects the care of citizens in favor of financial profit.

Coronavirus

The coronavirus pandemic of 2020 was an opportunity for the US medical system and political establishment to protect the health of American citizens. However, according to Snyder, American citizens were ultimately failed, as the healthcare system remained understaffed and undersupplied through the pandemic.

Freedom

Snyder argues that freedom is regarded as a core American value, however ironically many Americans do not have access to this due to inadequate healthcare.

Irony of freedom

Before he became ill and experienced the loss of his own freedom, Snyder gave a lecture about how America could become a free country.

Irony of healthcare

Snyder tells us that he ironically did not have to go through his illness, as it could have been prevented if he would have been diagnosed correctly.
