I have posed this sort of question many times over the past week or so

did we have to scrap everything that was already in place and replace it
with a new, EXPENSIVE bill?

Because the simple solution couldn't make it past the lobbyists and those
who finance election campaigns.

Which is why we have a bill that enriches the insurance industry.


What's that solution? Expand Medicare to everyone.

Even more simple: Treat the insurance industry as a Public Utility and let
those who can't afford it join Medicaid.
