Tweet is from around February 2022; I’m not visiting that cesspool to find the exact date.

All that would do is set a baseline pricing model, hospitals would price everything above it and people would be on the hook for the difference. It doesn't solve anything and let's politicians say "look we have national healthcare!" All while maintaining the same overly expensive, inefficient, less effective system we currently have.
Except, that doesn't happen in Australia. Places will "bulk bill" to be competitive, aiming for volume to make their profits.
Otherwise, good luck convincing those politicians to transition to a fully nationalised system I guess. I just strongly believe that's never going to happen in the US, and that something is better than nothing. If we can't even manage that in Australia, what hope do you all have?
