Re: POTUS 45.0: It was the best of times. It was the worst of times.
From this weekend's SNL Weekend Update:
"It seems like every decision Donald Trump makes starts with, "You know what would be hilarious?".
Also:
"While criticizing the intelligence community for the leaked Russia dossier Trump tweeted, "Are now living in Nazi Germany?". Of course not - Nazi Germany had the guts to take on Russia"

Re: POTUS 45.0: It was the best of times. It was the worst of times.
Regarding health care, it would be nice if my fellow lefties would concentrate on solutions that actually have a snowball's chance in hell of being enacted before we achieve warp speed and make first contact with the Vulcans some time in the 24th(?) century. Who, I understand, have a far superior health care system than our own.
So, single payer will never happen in one big bold swoop. Give it up and stop expecting it to happen. Employer based coverage will not go away overnight.
IF! you want to get closer to a single payer system, you do it gradually and start with people currently not covered by employers or over the age of 65 or below 18 years old. I'd attack this two ways....
1) People 55 and over can buy into Medicare. This is important because a lot of older Americans get turfed from their jobs before they reach 65 and struggle to find another one with benefits. I'd only open this up to people without access to employer coverage for starters.
2) People at the income levels where they qualify for ACA subsidies can purchase into Medicaid for same or similar contributions based on income.
So the question becomes how many people are we talking about? Of the approx. 29M still uninsured in this country, figure 1/3rd of those are illegal immigrants specifically barred from coverage under current law. So we're looking at 20M people. Not a small # but allowing people subsidized care should bring that # down quite a bit. Of course people are free to purchase private insurance if they'd prefer or if they make too much to qualify for the buy in (the self employed, etc). Also don't forget there's a lot of Flaggy type cranks out there who would refuse to have insurance even if it was free as they'd be worried about some govt conspiracy to steal their brain waves.Legally drunk???? If its "legal", what's the ------- problem?!? - George Carlin

You don't go measured into negotiations with the Trolls. What you're saying here is the compromise not the initial position.**NOTE: The misleading post above was brought to you by Reynold's Wrap and American Steeples, makers of Crosses.
