> Doesn’t a single centralized monopoly providing everyone’s healthcare seem like a bad idea? No. It doesn’t “seem” like a bad idea. Go look at actual countries that do it - it works fine and it’s vastly cheaper than the US’s failed “system”. That said, you don’t have to go all the way and have a single healthcare provider: a single insurer will do just fine - it works for Germany! Also: what the heck is a non-monopoly government even supposed to be? Of course a government is a monopoly (it is all of us), you want lots of competing governments running the same things? Now that does seem like a bad idea.
