You often chide others for repeating the usual political talking points. The “Wealth Gap” isn’t part of the equation as more tax dollars will not fix the underlying problem. And pitting social classes against each other doesn’t help, it’s a political ploy.
I’m sorry, but I’ve never seen a government work as efficiently or as cost effective as the public sector. Capitalism works when its given a chance. Businesses that offer better products, are ran more efficiently, thrive. Those that can’t fail. The Medical and Insurance sectors are thriving but not because of innovation or creativity, but due to a highly lobbied quagmire of self-promoting legislation Open Insurance markets and make them compete.
Your argument is "capitalism will prevail". My counter argument is republican backed crony capitalism which can shape legislation to pick winners will not allow true capitalism to prevail. It really isn't that hard to follow, yet when it comes to keeping a moderate supreme court, your side decides to double down instead.
Capitalism works when given a chance. Crony Capitalism vs Crony Government Corruption should be a better topic as most legislation that shapes today’s medical insurance discussion stems from the ACA. The ACA more than anything decimated the field of providers, narrowing down to a few select companies that would receive government subsidies/risk corridors and cemented their territorial claims. Stop the strawman
That's BS and you know it. Romneycare is far from perfect, but let's not turn a blind eye to the fact that the system's only 7-8 yrs old....and it's been decimated these last 3 yrs by this admin. The healthcare problem is far older than that.
And you don't see a possible connection between the two? Also, I "misspoke" earlier. I meant to write unsheltered income rather than pre-tax income.
