Ha, Ha, Ha............

I already covered this.

Of course the Republican plan will fail too.

What it will do however is bring about a crash in the system, thereby opening up another opportunity to press for single payer.

Thanks
What about the time span between the end of Obamacare and the start of single payer? How long does that take?

Beats the Hell out of me.

It's up to the proletariat.

However long it takes them to get tired of being fucked in the ass and revolt.

I'd say most people are generally OK with their health insurance, both before and after Obamacare (provided they're employed, which the majority is). Nothing major is gonna happen. Some tweaks, including some nods to "free market economics" and presto - Trumpcare. A lot of Sturm und Drang getting there though.

I'm sure it looks that way to a Boozhee Elitist like yourself, but its not sustainable in the long run.

The costs of providing such insurance has been sky rocking in comparison to wages and inflation. Some employers have chosen to eat these increases themselves, others are passing the costs along to employees, but either way a breaking point is inevitable.

I don't disagree, but that doesn't mean that most (full-time employed) people aren't generally happy with their current coverage. Therein lies the rub. Change is essential, but people don't want the government making changes to the current status quo if they're generally happy with their insurance.

Well I've had single payer for four and a half years ever since I went on Medicare but that doesn't stop me from wanting it expanded to cover all citizens.

But then I'm not a self centered Bourgeoisie Elitist like you and Ice are.

Yeah, pretty much. A lot of bellowing and fanfare but little substance.

That's a pretty sophisticated philosophy you got going on there.

He just likes talking dirty. That's what drew him to Trump.
