“What’s funny about that is they assume my ambition is positional. They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.”
The problem is single player isn’t forever. Look at Germany. The entire healthcare system is on the verge of collapse.
Germany isn’t single payer. It has a complicated dual system with public and private insurance allowing the highest earners and civil servants to go private, i.e. outside the solidarity system which causes the whole structure to collapse.
It’s also not universal, at least it wasn’t when I lived there: it’s payed for either by your employer or by social/unemployment office.
So there’s situations where you don’t have it, e.g. when you’re self-employed you’re expected to take care of it your self.
It with crash harder is there didn’t have private.
Say what now?
Your translator is stroking out.
No, i have American healthcare so i pay a bunch for insurance and can’t afford to see the doctor anyways so i had a few strokes.
No reform is forever. We should know this by now, as they reverse Roe v. Wade, erode labor protections, attack LGBTQ people, etc. The change we need is system-wide…
