      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/

          The "heartbreaking cases" he cites to frighten people about the NHS are basically lies. They were ethically difficult cases about almost certainly futile interventions in terminal cases and quality of life. Nor was the NHS per se involved.
