under the Sanders bill can you provide healthcare without being a Healthcare Provider? surely yes, right?
I could see how it'd provide an incentive to shunt unusual/expensive procedures into the private market as a cost-saving measure

that would happen anyway, except you'd be screwed even if you had money

yea but that's not the point, we're privileging equality over efficacy in this frame

there's also an ideological component, the idea that having more money should under no circumstances entitle you to better care

and the easiest way to uphold this ideal is to just ban things the state can't justify covering

so it's just jealousy

no man it's justice
-
just like how you have a moral duty to send your kid to a shitty public school in hopes it will improve for later generations

the public school thing I understand b/c rich parents educate their kids and that helps their peers, but that doesn't apply to healthcare

w/ healthcare it's straight up "how come they get a lollipop and I don't"
