- senordevnyc 7y agoThat’s a very simplistic view. There’s also the question of how those numbers will change over time in each system, and how both care and cost will be distributed. There’s also the political factor: how would we actually enable this? How do you get it passed? How do you ensure the SC doesn’t strike it down? How do you ensure it’s not just rolled back in 4 years when the presidency flips after the inevitable backlash?
