re: #749 Conservative Moonbat

Have you looked at Germany’s and Sweden’s plans and compared them to what’s being proposed? Most European countries have private, market based insurance systems that are tightly regulated. Democrats didn’t just make this shit up out of nothing. They looked at what has worked elsewhere in the world.

I’d put the emphasis on PRIVATE market-based insurance. What PelosiCare is introducing is not all private.

Wouldn’t the US healthcare system be better improved by increasing real competition in the PRIVATE health insurance market - right now it is stymied in all sorts of ways. More competition would make it cheaper - more affordable.

It is competition that has made the US great. Curbing competition - as in the health arena - is where the US risks gross inefficiencies.
