2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Listen To Hillary ...FLIP FLOP In Record 3 DAYS On Universal Health Care Just Last Week!!! [View all]if there's only ONE "CHOICE" Then there's no alternate "choice" other than to just suffer or let yourself die. And IF said "one choice" saw to it that you got treatment - as good as the treatment industry can offer - cost you less than you could ever HOPE to pay under the ACA - with no life-threatening hospital bill in the aftermath - there would be folks who'd bitch about that???
Certainly, health insurance companies would NOT be kept from offering alternatives, but just how many people would opt to pay (what would by necessity HAVE TO BE outrageous premiums!) for "better" (whatever the hell that might be - likely modern-day snake oil dispensers) care?
Geez - call it Universal Coverage, call it Single Payer, call it Medicare for all - call it whatever you want - EVERYBODY gets treated when they walk into a medical care facility and the only "qualification" is that you're ailing. What "choice" would you rather opt for???
