Let's be real. The Republicans would absolutely ruin any such institution the moment they'd get the chance. Better to keep health care private and instead socialize insurance. A hollowing-out of insurance is far easier to reverse than a hollowing-out of hospitals and clinics. An NHS led by an openly antagonistic government is not long for this world. Look at what the Trump admin is doing to other government services. The German model is far more Republican-proof than the British one.
- PaulHoule 2y agoThey’ve been saying they want to repeal Obamacare since Obamacare and they haven’t been able to do it.
- amanaplanacanal 2y agoIt's better for them to run on it than to actually do it.
- mrguyorama 2y agoThey genuinely tried but enough old dumbasses finally realized that the ACA they loved WAS "Obamacare" to yell at them for it (look at the town hall videos) and McCain was upset enough about the way the party was going (that he had no problems with before mind you) to kill the attempt. The republicans STILL claim to have "A concept of a plan" when it comes to healthcare. The one time they claimed to have an actual bill, it wasted 10% of it's text to strip government healthcare from people who win the lottery, like that's fucking worth it. But they STILL get elected, because the same electorate who didn't want to lose their healthcare to goons killing it for profits for some reason go right back to them just a few years later, despite republican politicians lying TO THEIR FACES about it from day one. Meanwhile, Democrats can come in with an entire presentation and plan and stats and graphs and all sorts of things and the electorate doesn't care because Fox News didn't tell them to vote for it.
