You'll never convince Guvmint healthcare for the entire masses is a great plan.
The real plan is to reduce prices for prescription drugs and the prices of overall healthcare. We may well have the best healthcare on the planet, but we are paying twice to thrice the price for it. Fix that. Not the insurance. |
I don't disagree with all of that but part of the problem is we have a shortage of care...
Its supply and demand.
We can afford M4A though.
As you've highlighted there are several other problems with the system that could be addressed and used to attack M4A.... Cost just really isn't the best thing to attack.
I will say this though... M4A is certainly a better plan than the Trump one at the moment.
