If you can’t provide a better alternative then it’s still an improvement.

The much larger UK NHS system where even hospitals are publicly run would be even harder to pull off in America. So single payer insurance is basically the lowest hurdle. Plus the simpler the better.

At some point the right in the US has to concede on healthcare because it’s already been gutted and killed by a thousand cuts. And I say that as a libertarian leaning person. You can’t honestly believe they can solve this problem by writing a thousand more small reform bills.

Plus if you give the mob public healthcare they will be much more tolerant of pro-economy policies and take a strong argument away from the people who want to gut even more industries so they function just as poorly as the pseudo healthcare market in the name of “fairness” and “equity” (mediocrity for all!). Lesser of evils.
