couple pages late but the big advantage for not having single payer for a business in an enormous country (this doesn't really work as well in densely packed ones) is you can use termination as a threat to the wellbeing of someone's family

STFU about Single Payer. People's health care is at risk right now, especially millions of women and POC. Shut up about your purity legislation that would disproportionately help white people, and potentially would hurt the same people trying to save the ACA. Stop making GBS threads on people who are doing real work to save some lives. For once, look in the loving mirror, learn some humility, and start working, or shut up, step aside, and never speak again.

it seems like billionaires have two modes of personality transition: they turn into hideous evil greed barons or they turn into benevolent money messiahs and i could genuinely see him becoming the latter. in which case he might actually be a good president.

that said, lol, im not taking that risk if i have to. hes also a total sociopath doofus so i think even if he tries to become the latter he wont be good at it.

that said, maaaaaaybe running on and implementing just "the things that more people want" could result in a net gain for the country so idk lol who cares we're all hosed

It's also why the US debt didn't get out of control until the Boomers started to vote in big tax cuts for themselves.

also the other day I was listening to NPR and they were lamenting what to do about those classified as contractors and those working the gig economy that did not receive the same protections and benefits (e.g. healthcare) as traditional employees. of course this segment was not used to present an actual solution to this problem. they were used to hawk some bullshit company that purported to manage "portable benefits packages" as a potential solution. they discussed the necessity of coming up with new solutions to these problems and thinking of things like more flexible savings accounts and bullshit like that. they talked of the problem of 30 million uninsured and the spectre of the republican ACA and how healthcare is 1/6th the economy.

not once did they bring up single payer, medicare for all, or any solution the entire rest of the world has figured out for this problem. they did not discuss how all other major countries on earth spend far less on healthcare in absolute terms and as % of GDP while covering all citizens. they only talked about bandaids and absurd contortions in the overton window of the debate between bad dems and republicans.

i think npr might honestly be worse than fox news. the enemy you dont know stabbing you in the back is worse than the enemy you know.

of course i hate NPR and already know they are scum, but a lot of purportedly leftist listeners are being misinformed on a daily basis.

It's hilarious how centrist scum whine about single payer even though it has been deployed across multiple countries, everywhere from Germany and Japan.

But for some reason the biggest economy in the world can't make it happen.
