[quote=ocrenter]Of course we are not heartless. But we got to pay for it, hence the ACA.
The whole point is you can’t go half way in as we are now, we can’t mandate emergency care yet do not mandate insurance coverage.
Extending Medicare to all is essentially a single payer system. Reason why I mentioned socialism is because that is the number one reason why it is politically impossible to achieve at least in the foreseeable future.[/quote]
If a single payer system is impossible, then why not work together and come up with a solution to the health care problem that both side will like. When you have a bill that one side voted yes and another side voted will inevitably be challenged by the other side.
ACA were passed with 100% of republican voted no, why didn’t they just go straight for single payer, since they’re not getting republic support anyways. Why go have way w/ the ACA?
I think both side can agree that we’re not heartless, regardless of political party line. Why can’t they all just sit down, investigate what are the top 10 reason for the rising healthcare cost and create 10 bills to fix those 10 problem. Would that be so hard?
