Just out of curiosity. How would you feel going the German route of public compulsory (half covered by employer if employed) and private insurance. Seems we could get the best of private insurance with broad public coverage. Of course, there will be freeloaders, but that is already the case. There is a reason Tylenol is $50 a pop in a hospital.
I applaud them for trying. Out system is broken and is overpriced. How many of us like paying $200 for something that’s only worth $20.
Interesting movie Soylent Green.

2nd week in July 2025.
People have no idea what’s about to happen in healthcare.
People thought the car shortage was bad.
Last I checked, government has no right to FORCE me to buy insurance. I prefer a free market system with government 100% out.
An idea situation would be like car insurance. It doesn’t follow your job. It doesn’t pay for oil changes and maintenance. It’s insane that every doctor visit is an insurance event. And you get all the healthcare you can afford. If you are on welfare you get a basic assist somehow.
I see no place for government in healthcare.
Also as an aside, every bad idea in government comes from Germany. Prussian bureaucracy, communism, nazism, etc. Don’t look there for anything except sausages, highway design, and things like that.
I get that. I also can read the tea leaves of where we are heading. It is just a matter of how it goes in the end. Enough of a majority are going to vote for this to be offered and I would like something like that versus Single Payer or God forbid a Bristish style NHS.
Where is the money for this hokum?
They will probably get the money they need from federal taxpayers. Spendthrift Dem states get bailouts.
How silly of me to not think of this. The Federale bailouts for Democrat states' insane Gov't pensions and spending, has been established during the Biden regime
