4 days agoHis administration isn’t going to be known for its well thought out policy solutions and his supporters won’t judge him on that basis anyways. He just needs to deport a few brown people and have the press report on it so they can feel like he’s hurting the people they want hurt. That’s it.
It’s useful to precise about exactly why it’s bad. The idea that capitalism breeds efficiency is baked into the American psyche at this point. But in this case it’s literally the opposite of the truth.
This isn’t like a highly trained transplant surgeon demanding a salary of 800k instead of 600k. No health care is delivered by an insurance company.
Every dollar earned in profit by a health insurance company is a dollar that was spent on health care for which no health care was delivered. They are literally just inefficiency in the system.
