Yes - meaning if someone wanted to get private coverage or have better coverage through their employer they aren’t forced to change. What issue do you have with that?

fundamental misconceptions on the nature of public services, keeping administrative costs as high as possible, and it being a nonsense position we've already seen get binned immediately when it came time to do things.

I work in finance, have worked in the insurance industry, I know about the huge costs assoc w/all the middlemen and the exorbitant pay agents/execs receive. Everyone would be taxed for Medi4All, it would be cheaper than paying current prem&copays. People would realize and switch.

I’m not referring to the current β€œAffordable Care Act t”. That was a gift to the insurance companies. I’m talking about having a 5% tax on income and that would include all income getting rid of loopholes only the wealthy use.

the parallel thats relevant is obama also talked up a plan thats public option if you opt for it otherwise private if you prefer etc etc in hte debates and that was completely gone by the election. so saying stuff in a debate alone does not confer credibility

I blocked the bitch for basically calling me a MAGAt. She isn't interested in rational conversation like most liberals.
