The larger issue which Progressives don't seem to grasp is that rationing of health care dollars and health care services is going to occur regardless.

Marco, if you're going to have a conversation about health care, assume everyone here is as intelligent as yourself. I've been saying for years that the health care systems break down into three tiers usually, with different levels of treatment, those who can afford it get some treatment outside of it, and no one worries about Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk. Take it from me that everyone here knows this, it is no grand revelation, and when we talk health care here, it should be non-partisan.

You were making a point that Mississippi has a better GDP per capita than most of Europe in another thread, yes, but they have better standards of living and are better on the happiness scales and one of the reasons is their health care, and robust social safety nets. And we can't get there because people say, "Commie! Pinko! Welfare Queen!" and if that doesn't derail the conversation, lies do the rest.
