Uh Oh! It's Nader: "21 Ways Why Canada's Health Care is Better."--Any DU Canadians Care to Discuss?

[geek tragedy]

85. Kind of like asking if a dolphin can swim better than a hippo.

Sure it can, but hippos can't just grow flippers overnight. They evolved differently from their common ancestor, just as the US and Canada did.

No one who is serious about single payer is vomiting up this repeal and replace garbage. They're talking about how to use the ACA as a way of moving in that direction.

Heck, Medicare isn't even administered on a tranactional level by the government. That work is contracted out to . . . private insurance companies.

People who talk about repeal and replacing with (a) the largest income tax increase in our history; (b) taking away everyone's current healthcare insurance plan and replacing it with an unknown future plan; and (c) leaving this unprecedented information technology feat to the team that built healthcare.gov is a poser, not someone who is serious about the issue.

One does not go forward by going backwards. Repeal is going backwards.

Nader wants to go backwards, because he is a Republican ally. He's not so stupid as to believe single payer can be enacted as a one-time piece of legislation, but he is dishonest enough to pretend.
