re: #182 Decatur Deb

It’s past time to end Planned Parenthood, Obamacare, Medicare, Medicaid, the Indian Health Service and the VA medical mission. All should be subsumed into a rational fully-funded single-payer system.

I respectfully disagree—but only with your last three words. Single-payer healthcare is still insurance-based, just government-subsidized. It’s essentially Medicare for All, like Canada.

I personally think the only system that’s ethically defensible is single-provider, like The UK’s National Health Service, or the the VA and TriCare in the US. We should avoid the loopholes that allow Harley Street doctors to siphon money from the rich rubes, though….
