In reply to the discussion: K&R if you intend to keep fighting for single payer regardless what the SCOTUS rules. [View all]kestrel91316
(51,666 posts)would prove to be grossly inadequate and ultimately fail, and that would be a huge driver toward Single Payer. As the fixes they put in place merely prove to increase medical insurer profits, and more and more people face medical bankruptcy in spite of being insured, the system will collapse of its own weight and the majority will be SCREAMING for Single Payer.
I hope to see it in my lifetime. I make sure whenever the topic comes up in conversation that I put in a plug for Single Payer - my clients are always complaining about their crappy, expensive insurance plans, and then I tell them I am among the uninsured, and the wheels in their little heads really start turning.
Lots of people are open to the idea now, and it's only going to get more popular as everything involving medical insurance for profit goes to sh-t.
