I mean, doing away with Medicare Advantage is a great idea. While they’re at it, break up health care monopolies and especially include a provision to make PBM illegal.
I heard somewhere that the overhead costs for standard Medicare is around 4-5%. Medicare Advantage comes in around 15%, because of the need to turn a profit. It’s very inefficient. The public option was always the best way to go, but we’re stuck with this stupid narrative that private options will be more efficient. Like trickle-down economics, it’s bullshit, and it needs to be exposed at every opportunity so that maybe folks will finally realize they’ve been hoodwinked.
Fantasy, I know, but I can still hope for truth and rational thinking to win the day.

It is so odd to me that we know our whole system is killing us sooner than necessary, mentally, physically, financially, and that we all plainly see solutions, but lack the will to make it happen. We’ve become softer than butter left outside in summer.
Please do it
