I think how arguments are framed matter. It’s one thing to say, “If A happens then this means scary scenario B will happen.” And another to say, “If A happens then we need to be vigilant that B doesn’t result as a consequence.” The problem as I see it is that debate on policy does not revolve on how best to achieve an outcome. It typically revolves on the mistaken belief that if change comes then either it will be glorious or have dire consequences. In the healthcare debate rational people should want everyone to have access to the healthcare system. So how best to go about achieving that? That should be the focus.
