All right. Hi, my name is Jessica, and I’m a undergraduate student at ASU enrolled in HST 494. The date is February 21 the time is 1:37pm, and I’m speaking with Nancy Carter. I want to ask you a question about your pandemic experience, but before I do, I would like to ask for your consent to record this response for the COVID-19 Archive. The COVID-19 Archive is a digital archive at ASU that is collecting pandemic experiences. Do I have your consent to record your response and add it to the archive with your name?
Nancy Carter 0:36
Yes.
Jessica Carter 0:37
Perfect. Thank you. First, can you tell me your name, age, race and where you live?
Nancy Carter 0:45
My name is Nancy Carter. I’m 61 years old. I live in Rancho Cucamonga, CA.
Jessica Carter 0:56
All right. Can I get your race too?
Nancy Carter 0:59
White.
Jessica Carter 1:00
Perfect. All right so thank you for answering that. And I just wanted to ask you a quick question about the pandemic. We’ve experienced a lot of changes in 2020 and many have been negative and disruptive, but perhaps it’s not all bad. What’s one positive thing you’ve experienced during the pandemic?
Nancy Carter 1:18
Even though a lot of people died and gotten sick in the course of the COVID pandemic, I think that it has brought light to the need for universal healthcare.
Jessica Carter 1:42
Mmhmm. And then, kind of, what do you think is important about universal healthcare that the COVID-19 pandemic has shown us?
Nancy Carter 1:55
It’s shown us that… that a lot of people have not necessarily thought that universal healthcare was a good idea, but now we are seeing the impacts of decentralized healthcare.
Jessica Carter 2:19
Mmhmm. Yeah, and then moving forward, do you think that’s going to have any impact on the way that healthcare functions in the United States?
Nancy Carter 2:30
Yes. I think if we would have had universal healthcare, then the pandemic wouldn’t have been so bad.
Jessica Carter 2:41
Yeah, definitely. Do you think that… I guess going forward or do you see any like, continuing impacts of the kind of us not having like a universalized system happening right now?
Nancy Carter 3:03
Say that one more time.
Jessica Carter 3:06
So, do you see like the impacts kind of continuing of us not having like a universalized health care service as the pandemic and as vaccines and things like that are getting rolled out?
Nancy Carter 3:21
Yes. I think that vaccination distribution from state to state would have been better if we had universal health care.
Jessica Carter 3:35
Yeah, definitely. Hopefully, even if the pandemic universal health care wasn't something that was utilized during the pandemic, it's something that we can kind of have going forward.
Nancy Carter 3:46
Yes.
Jessica Carter 3:46
All right. Well, that's the only question I really have for you. Thank you so much for your time today and have a good rest of your day.
Nancy Carter 3:55
Thank you. I will.
