      “The economy” is code what for every single fucking one of us participates in. This notion that the economy only applies to the rich is sophomoric, and I’m being generous calling it that.

          And that has what to do with what? Cute quip though.

          If we remove a million+ jobs, yes, that will fuck shit up. Y’all have an 8th-grade understanding of the world. Upvotes means you’re right, downvotes bad.

          As to what OP posted, it’s like Obama said, we’re not starting on a level playing field, we’re starting in a ditch. Other countries started healthcare after WWII, did the right thing, for many reasons I won’t go into here.

          Sorry, forgot where I was.

      I don’t know why I’m getting grief for agreeing with OP that eliminating health insurers would crash the economy.

      To me this is fine but most people won’t like it which is why single payer won’t ever happen without a revolution.
