re: #91 subsailor68

Hi jamesfirecat. Interesting idea, but historically it has proved difficult, if not impossible, to end programs on which people have become dependent or find popular - even if (as in Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid) the program runs into severe financial difficulty.

I suppose you could “sunset” the initial legislation, but it may still be political suicide to fail to extend the program when the sunset date nears.

Find some people out there willing to start a non profit competitive healthcare company.

Give them government seed money to start.

Sit back, watch and see what happens….

I’m probably over simplifying it, but still….
