This is a Trump of several leagues more competence and sapience that I would expect in a parody of a parody than what reality has given us. He literally drools in public for god's sake.

Obamacare is a tragic figure cobbled together from different parts and only barely functional, but it is still deserving of love and is blameless in its creation. The ignorant townsfolk hate and fear it, and try to round up a mob to kill Obamacare, but are luckily foiled by laziness and incompetence. A Good Cartoon and An Apt Metaphor.

I understand the attraction that such seemingly simple solutions have for people but that they persist for so many people despite the fact that if you think about it for even a minute the reasons it won't work become obvious I cannot understand. I can only assume they just never really think about it. Or when they do it's in the context of their libertarian fantasyland where everything has already changed completely and just works now because of the magic of free markets.

Erenthal posted:Oh wow. He really, sincerely believes this huh? ~Real capitalism~. At least he's making the argument. Jon Lovett, on Pod Save America and Lovett or Leave It, has repeatedly pointed out that fundamentally conservatives don't believe the government should be involved in health care, but most of them aren't willing to make that argument because it's unpopular. The root problem with the repeal and replace effort is that they're vocally accepting the premise that the government should ensure everyone gets health care, yet refusing to follow it to the necessary implications of "spend money and regulate." If you want to say that government should stay out of the health care system, say so, but don't give us "Obamacare but worse."

We already tried having capitalism controlled Healthcare, it didn't drive prices down and lots of people died needlessly. Now we're trying something else and it's cheaper and causing people to die less. If someone can look at these basic facts and just say "nah" inspite of all evidence what more can you do?

these same people also say that The Pure Unfettered Market could do the FDA's job, because if enough people get food poisoning from a certain kind of food, nobody will want to buy that food anymore if you ask "what about all the people who have to get food poisoning before the word gets out" you'll get a "meh" if you ask "won't the people who made the lovely poisoned food suffer no further consequences than that individual gravy train running dry, which frees them up to just rebrand and start again as many times as they want" you will get nothing because they'll have stopped listening by then
