The news that Ireland is nationalizing its healthcare system for
the duration of the coronavirus crisis inspired observers including Rep. Ilhan
Omar to call for the same approach in the U.S. as the world's largest economy
faces the disease.
"For
the duration of this crisis the State will take control of all private hospital
facilities and manage all of the resources for the common benefit of all of our
people," Ireland's Health Minister Simon Harris announced Tuesday.
"There
can be no room for public versus private when it comes to pandemic."
