Yes, let’s eliminate all those departments and hand them over to private industry who will do great things. All the evidence of how great things are working out with for-profit schools and for-profit loans–the average 2016 grad holds (a mere) $37,172 in student debt. And since we are talking about medical insurance, in 2016 the annual premiums for employer-sponsored family health coverage reached $18,142.frobert:
And advocates who simply say let’s put this burden solely on the “Medicare for some” group miss your point.
If we are serious about the root problem then get the federal government out of the health care insurance business! Return Medicaid to the states. Faze the feds out of the welfare business; give it back to the states. Also, do we need departments of Agriculture, Education, Energy, Housing and Urban Development, … (add to the list)? And, do we really need 435 representatives and their staffs and bulging budgets in the House? Wouldn’t half as many do as well at half the cost?
Just eliminate “Medicare for some” as if that addresses the real problem is nonsense. We all should have some skin in this game, not just the elderly.
And let’s examine the fantastic results of the US fictionalization of health care.
Health care in the US is awesome with the most expensive in the world and one of the lowest life expediencies.
Let give three cheers for financialization and rentiers.
In case you missed my point in the previous post it was that the US $ printing press benefits the elite and not those struggling in flyover America.
