People - both on the left and on the right - are trading on this ridiculous notion that MFA is bad for America and exorbitantly priced private insurance is good for America. I can understand why the right does it since they are in the pockets of corporate America. I just don’t understand why people on the left do it as well. Fear? Ignorance? Resistance to change? Some other reason?
