@emptywheel@lyda Beats me. But it certainly wouldn't resemble this ungodly Frankenbeast you Americans kludged together. -
@emptywheel@lyda Single-payer is extremely expensive. And it's increasingly antithetical to choice, even in Europe. -
@emptywheel@lyda Take Germany. Not only are you required to carry insurance, but there's an ongoing campaign to abolish private carriers. -
@emptywheel@lyda I'm also unsure why the German government has to pay for my acne treatments. -
@emptywheel@lyda Er, not that I have acne. But if I did. -
@emptywheel@lyda This is colossal mission creep. It's not catastrophic care insurance - single-payer has tentacles everywhere. -
@aryballoi But why should it just be catastrophic insurance? Actual routine care more important for public health.@lyda -
@emptywheel@lyda That rather begs the question. Why does the government get to spend our money to promote its idea of the good life? - 3 more replies
