#2Well well well, if it isn’t the consequences of 50+ years of terrible policy making. Who could’ve seen this coming except every other country on the planet?

You really think 5 months of a pandemic is going to expose this? New York is returning back to normal. The new surges will pass in the same time frame (5 months). The looming primary care crisis will show itself on a much longer time frame. It’s a snake that’s wrapping around, slow acting venom, and we’ll finally see it when it’s not just the ailing boomers that will need continuous care for ubiquitous things like Diabetes, but gen x, y, and z after it.
No one’s gonna die, that’s when it’s all going to come to a head. We cannot afford Medicare for all when everybody is fucking sick.

No idea what you want to say, but in my country the situation is worse for about 100 years. Yes, we have free lack of health care: no resources shared to almost everyone, so we are equal in getting nothing.

We should be able to afford it when the government takes its rightful place as health dictator. Ban alcohol. Ban tobacco. Ban fatty foods. Ban meat. Ban high fructose corn syrup. If not ban, make it so only rich white people can afford it. Then we can afford things by requiring doctors to either work within the system or they can’t be doctors. That takes care of them going into private care.

Ban, ban, ban, then force people to work for the government?
I'm not sure I want to live in the country you are suggesting we make.
What about drugs are legalized instead, and the medical sector is deregulated for example by removing residency requirements?
If a rating system can let anyone become the equivalent of a cab, we certainly can do the same with doctors educated abroad while also educating more at home.

The republicans had their chance. They fucked it up. They are the Washington Team Named To Be Determines of policy makers. All they did was piss people off. Unfortunately we now have to fall into the lap of big daddy government.

You guys are missing the point. I’m saying the general public is too unhealthy for this not to be extremely costly going forward, whether it’s for profit or non profit.
The only thing we solved is making sure you can live with the ailment.
We didn’t solve the cost of continuous care. Whoever is born today, will enter the demographic of questionable health in just 40 years. That means in our lifetime we’ll have almost 3 generations with garbage health inundating the healthcare system.
Try to flatten that curve.

Should health insurance, private or public, really pay to deal with people's self-induced health problems from eating too much, smoking, etc?
