In my opinion, the deficiencies that the pandemic is unmasking in the american system need a political solution and change.
Looking for heroic activism isn’t going to fix the systemic issues.
The left starts out with a stronger bias toward the public sector in many of these areas. To which I say, prove the superior model!
Look to the European democracies. They have a lot of what is missing here. They are more socially oriented, the state taking care of it’s citizens.
Look to Germany’s healthcare system. It’s regulated, but works well for everyone.
