That's fine, but I need a realistic plan, to not only stop runaway health care inflation, but start to reverse it.
Singapore has a private system, with heavy handed government price controls.
There are other realistic options, but none of them are tweaks to the system. It requires a massive restructuring.
Improvements to the ACA is MUCH more realistic then medicare for all.
I don't think that coming from you at all man. I do think that many politicians who oppose these ideas are bought and paid for or else so massively successful in the system as is that they don't want to see it differently. There is an investment in not seeing it.
I also think that playing life safely and being a part of the system as it without thinking deeply about what life is really about and about what kind of life it is worth fighting hard for and laboring hard for is a problem for a large number of people and it is a bit frustrating because it's easy to say this change will be too hard and too much work when your not the one who worked full time and had health insurance but went bankrupt because your wife got cancer......
I don't need these policies. I want them for the leste among us.
All good man.
I just think to myself that I agree with their concerns and I want them to work through them and come up with smart policy. But my concerns make me a neoliberal shill? Sure, sign me up!
