re: #213 John Hughes

You can’t? Is America somehow less competent than other countries that did more or less that?

Ask France to switch to the Dollar overnight.

They didn’t switch from another existing health care system to their current one overnight. A lot of them, as part of recovering from WW2, instituted a new system. That would have been easy.

As much as I hate the current system, we can’t just upend it. If we passed a law say that everyone shall convert to Medicare, there would be major lawsuits, the people I work with would throw a fit about how Medicare is bad - think of how many times you hear about it in the news, and why don’t you hear about private companies as much (because Medicare is forced to be audited) - and would not want to switch.

You don’t just flip a third of our economy on a whim.
