Not to mention running a single payer health care system?

Not to mention running a multipayer system, which requires a huge amount of state capacity to create, tinker with, and regulate. Ultimately healthcare is a government enterprise whether it’s writing the checks or managing the companies that write the checks

Fair point. Single payer might be much more efficient that regulatory capture by health insurance companies

Everyone would have had plenty of hydroxychloroquine though.

A bad single payer system still means I can go to the Dr. more than once a decade... Just saying.

Yeah anyone coming away from this with "government can't manage healthcare" after seeing our for-profit, private healthcare system fail to respond effectively is an ideologue whose project is cutting the size of government without care for the efficacy.

The perfect is the enemy of the good. No one thinks single payer will be perfect, but plenty of countries have shown that it works. The current US healthcare system denies a wide portion of people coverage at all and overcharges everyone else.

I'm not in favor of Medicare for all but it seems worth noting that Medicare is a thing, and people generally like it.
