- jonfromsf 2y agoBecause with the current medical cost, it would be absolutely ruinous. The root problem is American health care is far too expensive. The entire system is massively wasteful and complex.
- silverquiet 2y agoSeems like unifying it under a single, already-extant federal system would greatly reduce administrative overhead though, don’t you think? What’s funny is I’m probably one of the people whose paycheck is dependent on me not understanding that to paraphrase Upton Sinclair. When I started at my current employer, one of the devs straight up said the government should be doing what we do and we shouldn’t have a business.
