    What we need is a cross between the two. Medicaid lacks doctors, but it also lacks copay. For all its inconveniences when I was on it it was easier to get care than some employer provided insurances.

    Really what we need is a government owned corporation akin to the NHS, except with standards of care directly pinned to the AMA/APA to prevent meddling in politicized healthcare.

      You really think that could happen in today’s political sphere? You have voters like these

      who elect politicians like this

      because they want this

        Oh well, since we’ve got a bunch of evil assholes we should just talk ourselves down real quick instead of expressing a clear plan that would have a wide range of palatability. Of course it’ll be a fight, but it’s a fight worth having.
