The system we have is closer to wealth care than health care.
It literally prioritizes money over health.

Good. Run for president and make it so.

That would have been more useful of an opinion if he believed that when he ran for president not governor of California

At least medicare for all with the option of buying supplemental coverage.
Healthcare in the USA is a dumpster fire, and without some major changes it will only continue getting worse.

Only way there’s a possibility of change is if the Dems get the Presidency & a supermajority in Congress. Without a supermajority, Citizens United and everything else on the wish list is never gonna happen!

The US needs to get money out from politics and propaganda out from media, then the rest will follow.

Of course it’s a Democrat. Republicans fight anything that helps American people.

America is the only first world country with GoFundMe health care system.
Billionaire private health care companies will do everything including paying media to demonize universal health care system for obvious reasons.

No… we need the same government health care the government has.. simple

Is there any federal law that would prevent any states that wanted to participate to have a single-payer system?

There is no difference between the government standing in as a single-purchaser in the healthcare marketplace, and Amazon standing in as the sole employer in the labor market. They both represent monopsonies that restrict choice, and result in poorer service.

This is the way.
Dems need to just say what they want-no more placating the “right leaning” people who will never be on board.

dude wants medicare for all but made billions off the same broken market, it’s more like jeff bezos running for postmaster then promising to kill amazon, isn’t that pathetic?

The single biggest hurdle to healthcare equity in the US is that big insurers and their related PBMs make an ungodly amount of money off it. Go check your 401k – good chance you have UHC or CVS Health (Aetna) featured in the funds you invest in. That’s because they make money hand over fist. Trying to disrupt the billionaires from this system will be a painful fight. It’s worth fighting for sure, but they own politicians and make huge political donations, which makes diminishing their market all the more difficult.

Don’t misunderstand me, we absolutely need single payer. However, if the only thing we change is whose paying the bill we will fix almost nothing. Hell we might even make it worse, out of sight might make it even easier for doctors, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies to charge wildly inflated prices. Until we put out big boy panties on and attack the entire system we will absolutely continue to pay wildly inflated costs.
For example, I’m diabetic and one medicine that I have to take is $1000 a month and the manufacturer admits it cost $10-15 to produce.
Hospitals happily charge $15 for a single Tylenol.
Want a real treat, drive through the doctor’s parking lot of a hospital on a warm summer day and count the $250k+ cars.

Democrat says we need universal healthcare. In other news water is wet.

Yes we do
Dizzy-Captain7422 on
Yes, we certainly do. Will we get it? Not likely.
