Thanks for saying that. 🙂
I would tear off my right arm to have a robust enough safety net to take care of my kids adequately (and thanks to UHC in that situation, I would live thru it!). The cost is so high, and there is such a fear of people abusing the system, I struggle to see how it would practically work out - and worry that my kids would be able to navigate complex government programs after I’m gone. I’d vote for UHC every time and willing pay into the program - but I am resigned to knowing it won’t improve my kids’ lives.

This may come across as naïve, but I also wonder if the excision of all those “essential” layers of needless bureaucracy, might not free up some resources at a societal level to allow a more complete or holistic physical and mental health care system to emerge. After all we need to figure out something for the eye watering numbers of people who are employed directly or indirectly by the Insurance industries to do with their new found free time.
Hell, couple UHS with large scale tax reform and we might find that there are advantages at all levels of society to providing for people whatever their needs might be.
But then maybe I am a pathetic utopist who just needs to realise that Capitalism is simply the perfect structure for us all to live under.
