Actually, some form of Universal Care could be cheaper, offer better care, and be less bureaucratic. But the Democrats think if you just write the legislation, that makes it so. It doesn't Because other countries do it, it must be easy for us to do it. Problem in this country is no one really knows what medical care or drugs cost. Everything related to the cost of care has been made intentionally opague. It's a business strategy at every step. Every healthcare contract has a confidentially clause. Hospitals don't know how to allocate costs to determine their true cost If you don't know what the cost of what the government wants to buy from you, and the government doesn't know what the fully burdened cost they will pay is. And we don't know how high end hospitals can offer the same level of care at Medicare pricing. Etc etc etc And of course every insurance company and big hospital system will tie up the legislation in courts for decades. Ideology is not a strategy. Until there is transparency so a budget can be attempted , and the influence of the huge HC conglomerates is diminished , universal healthcare isn't achievable.

Imagine spending 18 months preparing one operation. Then imagine watching dozens of Russian strategic aircraft burn because it worked. One year of absolutely meticulous planning, intelligence work, logistics, and operational security led to this moment. Operation Spiderweb will be studied for years.
