My opinion: a lot of it is tribalism at this point. - Strongbad Mar 4, 12:33
Like I said, I'm not against healthcare for all. I agree the system needs an overhaul. - sycor Mar 4, 12:20 3
- I think its good to see this perspective - and there should be a transition period for people - retraining etc. -- nm - Pippy -Queen Consort of Westeros Mar 4, 12:31
- There would be winners and losers for sure, but even the losers get free health care. -- nm - Reagen Mar 4, 12:27 1
  - I assume HFA countries have healthier populations with lower long term strain on GDP but I imagine there's data to answer that assumption. - Max Mar 4, 12:34
Which was not what I was saying at all. nm - Turd Ferguson Mar 4, 12:16 5
- I'm not singling any one person out here. From the outside your system seems utterly insane. -- nm - Reagen Mar 4, 12:17 4
  - It is completely insane. nm - Turd Ferguson Mar 4, 12:21
  - tbh it does from the inside as well. -- nm - spamlet Mar 4, 12:18 2
    - ding! -- nm - Pippy -Queen Consort of Westeros Mar 4, 12:21
    - Amen. It's absolutely insane. -- nm - sycor Mar 4, 12:21

I didn't touch it because I can never say things the polite/politic way, but thank you -- nm - JackDawson Mar 4, 12:15
well said. -- nm - mud Mar 4, 12:10 5
- It's like they're locked into a Doctor Who episode. "This is how we've always done it! How else would it work?" -- nm - Reagen Mar 4, 12:11 4
  - Assuming this is at least partly directed at me, my point is not that it wouldn't be better, but that it's not that simple a calculation. - pmb Mar 4, 12:26 3
    - The sooner we do it the better because as you mentioned it's going to be difficult and we'll need to make adjustments. The longer we wait - Krusty Mar 4, 12:41 1
      - It's not one way or the other. You start by fixing Obamacare and adding a public option with funding for people who can't afford it. - pmb Mar 4, 13:08
    - I’m stealing the gist of this answer for future use. -- nm - znufrii Mar 4, 12:30
