      it's to prevent people from going uncovered without penalty until they need substantial medical care, then signing up the moment they learn they're going to need to make some major outlays

      we should simply inform our lawmakers that everyone needs substantial medical care at some point, and that perhaps we could find another way to share this burden

      a single-payer set up comes with its own massive challenges even apart from cost :/ ultimately in such situations the outcome is rationing by means other than price, typically queues and uncovered procedures medical staff would also not take the necessary pay cuts sitting down

      this is just a really difficult problem given all of the things people want at once

      more than anything else i want a system everyone can use without fear of going bankrupt. i feel like we already have rationing, it just has a cliff (non-insured) instead of a queue

      @asymmetricinfo had a plan that handled something approximating this iirc You can set up a feasible scheme to handle major cases that cause bankruptcy, but typically at the cost of paying more out of pocket for smaller problems think fairly high deductibles

      why, though? why not pay for everything?

      Replying to @jstn @asymmetricinfo

      Because we literally cannot afford to provide world class medical coverage to everyone at all times, basically It's a scarce resource and it's going to be rationed somehow You can ration by price, by queues, or by pull but not everyone is going to get everything at all time ☹️

          what are the economic gains for a country in excellent health, free to spend their money on something besides medical debt? what economies of scale are available for a single payer the size of the us government?
