    Holy crap, this @thehill article is peak stupid. A retired cardiologist opines on his solution to universal coverage in the US: All that has to happen is for each family of four to set aside $42,105 A YEAR to deposit in a health savings account. Easy! 1/http://thehill.com/opinion/healthcare/399283-medicare-for-all-is-a-socialists-dream-and-an-american-nightmare …

        I mean, seriously, this guy is living in a fantasy land if he thinks that anything other than a minority of families can afford to dedicate $42,105 a year (or even just $10,526 per family member) to an HSA. 2/

        And, of course, his next claim is that the magic of the free market will handle it all. He also claims that Canadians and the British pay a very high price, when in fact they pay a lot less per capita than we do. 3/

        Easy-peasy if you're a cardiologist, I would image.

        I'm a surgeon and would have to stretch to deposit that much. Of course, I'm an academic surgeon, which means that I don't make as much as typical private practice surgeons with the same number of years in practice as I have, but, still, I'm well-off compared to most people.

        Jesus, talk about living in a freaking fantasy land!!! Working in advocacy for research, I run into his mindset with clinicians often, so I appreciate your take, as a clinician yourself.

        Sure, just let me set aside my entire gross earnings for the year and we’ll just survive off my wife’s $15/hr

        They're beginning to freak-out because Trump's/GOP's facade of support for working Americans is obviously fake to all but the cultists. Also a recent (Koch funded!) study said Medicare for all would save money on the long run. And "Democratic Socialism" has become more popular.

        Yes, this is fantastically stupid and laden with inaccuracies.
