Just noting that I value and consider those that post here on the MRF political side to be substantive, smart and highly educated members of the US.
And yet, look at the discussion here. I know friends who would object to the concept of 'health care is a right' - and the message from growing up without it? I thought it sucked, and so I want to fix it for everyone. Some friends view that it sucked for them, they made it, and they are now providing for their families - so those that do not have it now, that's THEIR turn to suck it up and make better for THEIR kids.
There is no question we have made a mess of health coverage, thanks to many issues over the years (some key ones are listed, but there are others).
The only way I can see real progress is to slowly expand public options. Cover kids and the retirees, then expand. Kids can now be on parental insurance until age 26. This age 50 start for Medicare proposal moves back the clock from 65 or so. Get the Freedom Dividend (UBI) rolling, people could afford some sort of basic insurance between 25 and 50.
