The issue I’m seeing is that many people would prefer a US where a company like that couldn’t exist, and yes the Dems killed Medicaid for All from their manifesto for this round but I’ll wager that the US will move towards universal and single payer system within the next 10 years.
- Judgmentality 6y agoAdmittedly my comment was snarky, but you're speaking of ideals and we're speaking of solutions. Right now GoodRx is a very successful company solving a very real problem. Meanwhile the US government has completely fucking failed to fix it's healthcare issue. You can keep waiting for a government solution. In the meantime I will continue to be a happy customer of GoodRx.
- dragonwriter 6y ago> yes the Dems killed Medicaid for All from their manifesto for this round “Medicare for All”, and while it's not part of the current platform (which focussed on a public option), removing federal program barriers to states enacting universal plans while participating in the various federal plans is part of the platform, and state policies providing models for federal progress is a common thing. But, more immediately, even without Medicare for All, the Democratic 2020 has a plan for universality centered around a public zero-deductible option that all Americans would be able to buy into via existing exchanges and with existing exchange subsidies and some low income Americana would be enrolled in automatically with no premiums.
