47. You mean like unemployment compensation?

That’s all they are entitled to.

I’ve said several time in replies that we have to remove 1 trillion dollars from healthcare to get our costs in line with every other country. The math is simple. We spend 3.5 trillion on health care and spend twice as much per capita than ither countries.

But i say that as a reason that we will have to overcome a lot of opposition and might have to move incrementally. I didn’t expect to see demands for compensation to the industry. The people can get unemployment. Screw the shareholders.

The other reason to move incrementally is we will get it wrong in ways we cannot predict. Let people buy in as a first step and let’s figure out how to handle that expansion first. We need to think in terms of what to do now and where we want to get to in 5 and 10 years. We cannot afford to piss off the majority of people who have employer plans by immediately putting them in a system that can’t handle it.
