Good. Burn it all down and replace it with universal healthcare.
Like every other modern country! They all get better care for less money!!!
No, you see, America is bigger so it won't work for some reason
It's because they have more people per capita, duh.
Just ignore economies of scales you little working class peasants. That doesn't work here.
Then they're a monopoly, so we'll split them back up in 20 years. And let this cycle continue again.
Public services have this one difference that they're governed by a democratically chosen body
Awfully optimistic of you to expect that it'll be replaced by anything better.
If I don't have even a shred of optimism my mental health would be x10 worse. I need it, swiper no swiping. 🙃
Aw maannn
I have mixed feelings. On one hand I can absolutely see m4a being awesome if implemented in the laziest way and I can see Trump winding up doing that purely for popularity (highly unlikely but not impossible). But I imagine it's more likely to be like tricare and i imagine it would explicitly exclude politicized Healthcare like abortion, birth control, and gender affirming care.
US Healthcare is in a pretty bad spot as it is, any durable improvement would be an improvement nonetheless. Just like how the Affordable Care Act was a significant improvement over the wild under-regulated denial-fest that the pre-ACA insurance industry was
I like your optimism but trump will hug Eric and tell him he loves him and that he's the bestest boy ever before he implements universal health care
Oh then someone should [redacted]
but I wouldn't leave replacing them off of the table...
Trump wants his solutions. It's gonna be hard figuring out what solutions currently in place will be allowed to stay.
