> I don’t disagree with any of that but that’s a different problem which should be directly addressed I think most people here will probably agree with that (myself included!), but I suspect the disagreement is about whether that's a convincing argument against this policy given the political reality that reforming healthcare as a whole is not feasible at the moment and won't likely be any time soon. Trying to reform healthcare right now would require passing in the Senate (meaning either a supermajority voting for it or the majority party eliminating the filibuster), the House (which currently is not controlled by the same party as the Senate and the White House and unlikely to agree with them on any healthcare laws), signed by the president, upheld by the Supreme Court when it inevitably gets challenged, and then not repealed subsequently by a later presidential administration and Congress. The part that people disagree with you on isn't whether this proposal is the best possible way to handle the issue of people unfairly having medical debt; it's whether doing nothing until the entire healthcare system gets overhauled would be letting the perfect be the enemy of the good.
