Nothing about decoupling health insurance and employment says it has to be nationalized. It could be like car or home or life insurance, where you buy your own

Nothing about decoupling health insurance and employment says it has to be nationalized. It could be like car or home or life insurance, where you buy your own without your employer's input.
- BuckRogers 10y agoIt's probably too late for that idea to pan out. We already have that and it's a (overly expensive) mess. Some blame the gov't and regulations but I place the blame at the market[0]. Healthcare (and the military) is the biggest racket going on today for sure. I mean racket in the traditional term, gov't and private market collusion. Since the elderly and lower classes already have no-charge healthcare, we're already one foot in. May as well just expand Medicare for all to single-payer to those of us who work for a living. I think we need nationalized insurance and private market medicine. Nothing will be perfect but we can definitely do better.
