Be that as it may, this is a SMALL percentage of the American population - the WHOLE POINT (and reason I posted this tome) is that if this educated, highly motivated and eventually not-to-be-thwarted Obamanoid who knows who to contact to get information has this much trouble, the average American is up the creek and looking for someone to blame.
The WHOLE POINT is to gin up support for single payer.
This is nothing but a screed against the insurance companies.
Which is completely on target for the talking points right now.
The sneaky admission that MEDICAID would have been a better choice for his ‘partner’ was the underlying reason for the whole screed.
Those evil insurance companies will never be able to compete with medicaid. How can you compete with FREE?
Next step, medicaid for all...
Bingo.
And the system they were trying to navigate - upscale and motivated as they were - will never work.
Because it can’t.
Obamacare has broken the system we had of making such private sector decisions work. It was a complex system but it was not directed from “on high” and it muddled through sometimes but it worked.
Like Levin and others have said, in using a simple pencil as example, if the federal gov’t were put in charge of pencils from beginning to end, what has worked with the making and distribution of pencils would totally break down.
So if the feds cannot handle a system for pencils, how does any sane person expect them to do THIS!?
And CW, your point is about the people trying to navigate this.
Either way, IT IS AN IMPOSSIBILITY.
True, and the GOP isn’t making any significant effort to point out to them who that is.
