(47,415 posts)I believe that eventually private insurance will be eliminated if we have a good public option that private insurers cannot or will not compete with. That is not a yes or no answer to the question. Trying to just eliminate it, would result in a loss of many votes and total chaos in the health care system.

(63,645 posts)My goal is universal health care. I'll get behind whatever it takes for us to get there. Whether we keep private insurance is not a deal breaker for me.
I ended up selecting "eliminate private health insurance" because if we were creating a health care system from scratch I don't think private health insurance adds any value in a universal healthcare system.
But we are not creating a system from scratch, and the truth is that there is basically zero chance that we would eliminate private health insurance. If that's what it takes to get universal health care I'm fine with that.
If there were a "don't feel strongly either way" option I would have selected it.

(47,415 posts)if you are choosing a friend, but picking a president is about a lot more than policy answers. Competence, intelligence, experience, character, integrity, etc. Also the ability to choose cabinets members who are knowledgeable, trustworthy, and capable. Presidents change while in office and as such so do policies - of course, there are exceptions, as we see in the White House today.

(714 posts)It clearly shows where the candidates stand on the issues. For me, Warren got the highest score of 10 and Biden got the lowest of 1 . I sure hope hes not the nominee.
