"We’ll make sure it’s not quality. We'll make sure it's only affordable."
"And for folks in the working class ... they will, in fact, will increase their premiums..."

My god, when is someone going to put this guy out to pasture?
And to think... this white supremacist who can't even speak coherently is the current tip pick of the DemocRAT Party! Amazing!
If you're wondering how Joe BITE ME managed to step in THAT pile of shitt so easily, it has to do with something Ben Shapiro has been saying for the past year about health care.
He said there are three aspects of a national health care system: Universality, affordability, and quality. And he said you can't have all three. If it's affordable, the quality will suffer, (unless massive market forces are introduced.) If it's quality, there is no universality, because not everyone can afford a million dollar heart transplant. If it's universal, then you KNOW quality is out the window and rationing is only a few yards behind.
BITE ME obviously was responding to that discussion when he said no quality but affordability. He was essentially correct. If it's affordable (with a pool of people paying $10 a month), you aren't going to get $100,000 cancer treatments. The math just doesn't add up. And he was honest about the fact that folks in the working class WILL see their premiums increased. That was a moment of unusual honesty from him.
There is another alternative. Maybe, just MAYBE, some Congress might grow some testicles and insert some MARKET FORCES into health care. Maybe Congress should haul some doctors before a committee and grill them on price gouging, (just like the Democrats do oil company execs, every time gasoline goes up a nickel a gallon.) Maybe Congress should haul university deans and managers before that same committee and grill them about price gouging in tuitions. ($200,000 to become a doctor? Seriously)
Deregulation certainly would be a good idea. Maybe allow insurance companies to sell across state lines. Maybe less government involved in patents and new procedures. Maybe some tax cuts or even total tax exemptions for equipment companies who could compete on such high priced items like $10 MILLION MRI machines. If a MILLION DOLLAR COMPUTER from the sixties wind up costing less than $100 in the 21st Century, why not let the market bring the cost of these items down.
Obviously, my way involves extra work, educating the public on the concepts of these actions and losing to idiots who play politics.
