"Let's eliminate all that" was a direct answer to a Jake Tapper question during a CNN town hall about private health insurance while this person doubling down on this person's comment in this candidate's own words wanting no private insurance while cheering Medicare for all. Name that democrat candidate. Removing private health insurance is a violation of what union workers earn through the collective bargaining or arbitration process for a contact. Yet, a major union executive board endorsed that candidate. I can't vote for that candidate.

I guess you would prefer that the government should run health care. Perhaps I should ask, is there any aspect of the US economy that you do NOT think the government should run?

Can you stop asking questions until you're willing to answer ones from weeks ago that you can't elaborate on or just flat out pretend don't exist? |

The democrat candidate is kamala harris. Also, Vermont tried single payer health but stopped after the costs became too great and too long to get an appointment. Even California legislature stopped single payer.

With the changes to my health care plan costing me literally THOUSANDS of dollars this year that I didn't have to pay in the past, yeah, I'll go with a single payer system. Private health care companies are just that - companies. Out to make a profit. More concerned about costs than care. As much as I wouldn't want the government RUNNING my health care, I don't like the private companies putting their business well being above their patients/clients well being. A single payer system with the government paying for the health care and private companies actually providing the health care itself is probably the best way to go. Put caps on what they can charge. Make sure that they're not running bloated budgets, or paying more for equipment/resources/medication than they should be. Have some oversight - and take the profit out of the system. ALL Health Care should be Non-Profit. Health care is far too important (life and death stuff, as well as quality of life stuff) to leave to companies who put money first. |

Incentives are not well aligned in a private healthcare system.
Doctors and insurance companies are both incentivized for costs to be high.
Patients don't pay costs for procedures, they pay premiums, so they aren't incentivized to find affordable care.
Plus patients are often at the mercy of 'in-network' doctors, or their doctors that they already have a relationship with, or they are at the mercy of whatever hospital they end up at after a life-threatening emergency.
Point being - traditional market economics don't work in healthcare, which is why government priced/government run healthcare is more affordable.
