Most ppl who opposed the ACA opposes the Medicaid expansion. Also, the exchanges worked at making things cheaper, and yet we won’t expand the exchanges, and I think that a public option would hold prices down even further.

The US has the worst maternal health in the developed world. California implemented a near costless checklist protocol and basically got numbers that were close to other industrialized countries. We overstate the differences in health factors compared to provision.

Again, I don’t know what’s controversial here. The US has more violence, more obesity, more socially disconnected people than peer countries. This is going to impact health outcomes regardless of the system. How would it not?
