Yes, I'm kidding people.
you don't say, habsy.
I see what you did there. It’s good to have illusions sometimes.

Canada is not the US.
In the US, there is a legitimate policy argument to be made for a socialized health care system being cheaper than the current system.
It's frustrating to hear about a proposed "space force" and increased military budgets instead of putting that money into "Medicare for all."It’ll never happen in our lifetime. I would support a government option though. That is the way to progress here.

The problem is even if US spending on health care drops drastically with a public system, the current spending is mostly private. So it will take a large tax increase to pay for it. It will take a long time to convince people that the health premiums they pay are actually taxes.It will happen. A significant amount of Team Trump voted for him because he was promising to replace the ACA with a better version of health care for everyone. There is a huge appetite for it down there.

Lip service.
They’ll need to implement a government option, have people sign up then eventually move to single payer. Too much money involved to get single payer. Philosophically it sounds good to people, dismantling the current system won’t be as easy as those crying for Medicare for all think.
I do this every day man, I know this system well and yes, it sucks to administrate.
Worth the cost. People swallow government lies all the time. This is one that will benefit them in the end.
I'm astounded at what people will by into. I've spoken to very low income Americans with medical conditions that are against universal healthcare. I'm talking people that can't afford an emergency room visit or even a regular check up. They completely buy into the fear mongering of "socialism."
As a "middle" or "upper" class... or wealthy people voting against their own interests for the greater (depending on their beliefs) good. But people without the means to provide for themselves and their family? That's just mind boggling to me.

Finally some truth.
