Louisiana Health Care System Near ‘Major Failure’

“Grappling with an unprecedented flood of COVID-19 patients, Louisiana’s hospitals are struggling to provide the public with the most basic levels of care — and are quickly approaching catastrophe,” the Baton Rouge Advocate reports.

Said Gov. John Bel Edwards (D): “We are rapidly getting to the point where we could have a major failure of our health care delivery system. There’s some people out there whose care is being delayed to the point where, for them, it’s already failed.”
