    But WHY is a hybrid model the best solution to universal health insurance? (I've noted before that I'm fairly agnostic re: single payer vs. hybrid public/private system. I'm open to be persuaded about either one, as long as coverage is truly universal.)https://twitter.com/mcuban/status/1194328175737618432 …

    we can have it here there or anywhere. The best solution is a hybrid the makes sure that everyone gets care and no one is denied care for financial reasons. Ever. Regardless of their net worth or income

        The reason Medicare is losing money is because it only covers the sickest people, the elderly. Costs would be much lower if younger, healthier people were included. Also, a single system would allow a single set of drug prices, which is why every other country’s costs are lower.

        Perhaps Mark has some holdings in insurance company stocks.

        Because people fear change/uncertainty. It should be a gradual changeover. For example, Medicare eligibility age is lowered to 55, then 45 etc...meanwhile, you can hold onto your current plan as long as it makes sense. It's a much easier sell. And easier to execute.

        The French health insurance system is hybrid public/private. However, the government also has control systems at all levels of care and reimbursement. The insurer has no say in the care you receive and only serves as a reimbursement conduit.

        But yes, I am also agnostic in that regard. It all depends on how you set it up.

        I’m just an average user. the Australian healthcare system is a pragmatic hybrid. It works better than the US. Richer people get good coverage but everyone is covered. It is not a big political issue now that’s a big plus

        Something about private insurance keeps fees high- Pharma and medical fees. I think that’s why govt takeover is preferable. But wish she would make that clear.

        They want to keep the obscene profits in health care.
