Odd thing is, these are college educated (or is it, college indoctrinated) people. I only did two years and I never was good at math.

We should also consider that the cost of the “best available” medical care continues to escalate, as new tech becomes available.

We could probably provide 1970-era medical care to everybody without breaking the bank. What we can’t do is provide 2012-level, much less 2030-level medical care to everybody. Not without bankrupting the country.

So what we will do is pretend that everybody gets the same health care, while those with money or connections continue to get the best, and others take their chances.

I think the disconnect is that the left has successful pedalled the lie that government has unlimited resources.

And they can make this illusion stand up by doing what they’re doing today - printing money out of thin air.
