Good question with no easy answers. One thing I can guarantee: the more the government is involved the more of a mess it will be. The government is a necessary evil, parasitic in nature. It does not create anything, it only destroys or damages. Nothing the government does is efficient or beneficial in the long run. Yes, some individuals might benefit but at the expense of everyone else.
Whenever the government does something you will pay more and get less: health care, education, energy, transportation, etc.
That is the Republican line, but it is demonstrably not true. There is a role for government to play in daily life. Tell me the government shouldn't be involved in our national defense, road and bridge building, preventing theft and murder. Tge government has those responsibilities. If people vote for the government to take over health care, or at least the administrative aspect, that will also become the role of the government.
And there is a way for it to do so. I do not really have a good answer to it, because though it would be very efficient (cheaper) for all Americans to simply be covered, all the time, and taxes pay for health care, it would also lead to the government being overly involved in private health care decisions.
I think there is probably still a way to do it well. And that is simply the direction we are headed. The health care industry is really shooting itself in the foot. Not that the CEOs care. They will have their tens of millions when the insurance side goes boom.
The problem is the liberal politician is so corrupt that you always end up with less. Tell me how the hurricane care went in NC? I'll use that as an example. Your boy Biden is more concerned about funneling $$$ to Hunter than to take care of America.
