them dishonestly opposing singlepayer like this at least makes it obvious they care about being a part of the dem establishment more than they care about access to healthcare for women.

you would think the rational wiki people would like the iron law of institutions seeing as it's a restatement of Jerry Pournelle's iron law of bureaucracy which itself is just a stolen version of Michels iron law of oligopoly

Yeah, I was under the impression that PP would likely receive more in funding via single-payer system.

it would but the people in charge of these organizations are all lawyers, doctors and other six figure professionals who are ideologically opposed to single payer healthcare

Well, it only took two decades, multiple wars he supported, and the election of a game show host with a cheese brain, but Ezra figured out that no amount of whitepapers can make "more money for us, gently caress you" into a respectable politics.

Oh, wait, sorry, no, he had Avik Roy on his podcast this week to talk about ways to improve the Senate bill.

wait why would the GOP accept this unless it's to try to kill whatever bill it's attached to

It's attached to the defense appropriations bill, which they definitely don't want to kill. Conservatives in the House, particularly the Freedom Caucus, have long been wanting to kill the AUMF because they want to spend a bunch of money on the military, but don't want the President to use it to bomb whatever country he wants. They'd prefer it just be used for football flyovers and parades. This came within a couple dozen votes of passing last year, and it looks like they have the votes now that none of them can trust Trump not to get mad on twitter one morning and commit the army to an invasion of Italy.

GOOD TIMES ON METH posted:

I wager that there is some entrenched resistance (ie not just big donor money or whatever) from Dems who viewed ACA as their signature big career legislative accomplishment being told it kind of sucks. I don't know if that goes away if they get more public feedback/yelling about it or if you have to elect people divorced from the original process.

I think it's mostly people who see critique of ACA as a slander of Obama the person and are mad about that because they've built their politics on personality not policy.
