My bad. I used that as a stand in for a single payer system like Medicare. Good idea, yes? Or do you object to that?

BTW There can still be a for-profit, premium health insurance market alongside. if you’re rich spend as much as you want on healthcare.

My objection to that is putting too much power over healthcare in the hands of the Federal government ends badly when someone like RFK Jr is in power in the Federal government.

My ideal is closer to the German system, with state-level public options which preserve private insurance.
