In theory it makes sense. The execution is problematic just as this fucking around with private public attempts is.
I am almost worn down enough to give it a shot. Obama won -
People want free shit.

Until Hospitals can tell patients "hey, you're probably gonna die. No, you aren't getting that wonderful new treatment you've been reading about. Deal with it"
Healthcare will never be "fixed" -
That happened with my sister. An oncologist told us that she qualified for an experimental new drug that had shown promise against pancreatic cancer. Then the next day we were told that the oncologist made an error and that my sister didn't qualify. This was devastating news.doogie said:Until Hospitals can tell patients "hey, you're probably gonna die. No, you aren't getting that wonderful new treatment you've been reading about. Deal with it"

If "Medicare for all" = Death Squads...sure.
At some point - and I'm being a completely heartless bastard but I can do math - there has to be a realization that keeping granny alive at age 96 for 3 more days at $50K per day is just beyond fucking stupid. These old people grew up in the Depression - they understand the meaning of a dollar.
I don't know if that means lifetime caps on spending and a sliding/reducing schedule as time passes - but there is no annuity that I'm aware of that exponentially increases the payout as time passes. Eventually the money runs out.

Exactly. My granny is 97 y/o and in assisted living which the Family pays for most of. But she wants to go. And I would gladly push the button for her if they would let it happen. I think having that option for people that want to go would also save alot of money in that regard.PurpleThrobber said:If "Medicare for all" = Death Squads...sure.
