Because somehow it's socialism. Seriously, that's the idiotic argument against it.

Can someone give me a good explanation why we use a private insurance model that puts most people in financial ruin if they get a cancer diagnosis, and is predicated on the business model of denying people coverage? A system where we pay a s***load for insurance, then have to pay exorbitant copays for a doctor, who then refers you to another doctor/another copay, who then has a follow up with another copay, and prescribes medication that requires another copay?

Is there any reason to keep this BS system? Any?

On one hand: Medical businesses have profits and many are private or religious. The argument of a central system being anti-business, costing jobs, etc. is a short sighted but powerful argument.

On the other: a confusing and limited system puts the burden on the consumer, allowing maximum profit.

It feels like the left is so obsessed with changing the minds of Trump supporters, that they haven’t even solidified a base. The Democratic Party is going through an identity crisis and this disarray is very evident this year more than ever before.
