Most people know the overall system sucks, but they also think their insurance is mostly fine because they haven't had to use it very much (which is simply definitional, 80% of costs come from 20% of people). And so people fear the unknown. They would like something better but fear giving up what they have right now for something they haven't experienced. It is also a deeply personal issue, and has so many entrenched interests. Health care spending is 1/3 of our economy.
- DangitBobby 2y agoAny evidence that "most people" are given a voice into actual systemic change? I haven't been given an opportunity to vote for a candidate that actually wants to change our healthcare system, personally. Obama helped many people, but his moves did not really attempt to solve the problems of insurer inefficiency and grift, and instead codified their position as gatekeepers.
