It's nearly a quarter? That's a pretty great start to me, considering how many millions of dollars the healthcare industry pumps into propaganda.

As I said, I will never support a system that requires payment at the point of service in exchange for medical treatment. I do not have centrist views nor will I ever, sorry! I'm sorry it makes you uncomfortable :giggle:

Then don't. Who cares? I certainly don't. And no, it doesn't make me uncomfortable. Good luck to your candidate.ย

Itโ€™s a fifth. That means that eighty percent want something different.ย

Can they stop with the populist ideas and just stick to a real beneficial plan that would help everyone?

take examples from other countries with a good public healthcare and if you want extras, pay extra to anย insurance that can complete the coverage of the public one.

Itโ€™s not so difficult.

So sploosh your juice all over me you Riverboy

I'm not sure who they refers to here, but here's what Pete proposes.

"Buttigieg says he wants to โ€œmake progress toward universal health careโ€ by building on the Affordable Care Act. The South Bend, Indiana, mayor proposes to provide more generous subsidies to low- and middle-income consumers in the ACA marketplaces and to make a publicly-run โ€œMedicare-type insurance planโ€ available to all. The goal is to boost enrollment by reducing the out-of-pocket cost of existing plans while using the government-backed health care plan to generate more competition between insurers."

It's an incremental approach and will serve as a glidepath to a Medicare for All environment.

"While Buttigieg has outlined a plan that keeps private insurers at the center of the health care system, he also makes it clear that current system needs to improve significantly. โ€œIf corporate insurers donโ€™t lower costs to deliver something dramatically better than what is available today,โ€ his proposal warns, โ€œcompetition will lead us towards Medicare for All.โ€

This is why he calls it "Medicare for All Who Want It" and imo this is the most sensible approach, and that's also what majority of America favors.ย

100% insurance coverage wonโ€™t do anything as far as opening non-hospital healthcare in rural communities. Weโ€™ve seen this is rural regions where coverage is nearly universal.ย 

Healthcare wont be solved by just more insurance โ€” this plan understands that.ย 

I knew you'd be in support of a plan like this. ๐Ÿคก
