And every private insurance plan in my area. They all have pros/cons. I have advocated for SP since 2009, but I *celebrated* the ACA when it passed. Stayed up late on Christmas Eve watching the vote come in. The law *saved lives*. I saw what happened before it...

Instead of trusting a republican ran government who legally can strip funding from a SP system, or stop services their constituents don’t agree with, a mixed payer system, where regulation is tighter would be more feasible. Germany, Denmark and other developed nations uses both.
Republicans won’t go for a tightly regulated mixed payer system either if the plans allow abortion. They’d be writing the regulations. Having said that, I’m not opposed to those systems, just know that the admin savings would not be as great.

1. We regulate insurance now. Its easier to write a law that controls how insurers can charge, create standards of care and stop them from doing preexisting or catastrophic insurance. We did that with ACA.

2. It is harder to change the constitution to keep them from stripping funding as they did with CHIP. Or reverse the Hyde admendment. I agree with you that SP will be cheaper for administration costs. I don’t agree it’s the best for us because it limits reproductive freedom.
