But this is a perfect example of why the mandate was necessary.
The problem with out "health care" system is that billions of dollars go to pay for insurance companies who provide zero health care services. So if we go to a socialized health care system we will eliminate a multi billion dollar industry from the US economy. Guess who is most opposed to that?
The mandate was necessary so doctors, pharmaceutical reps § pharma execs could heat their mansions.
I doubt the middle men would totally lose out. There’d still be a market for them as some would opt for private insurance. But like I said, jobs § profits be damned if it means true affordable health care.
Future generations are gonna look back at us § laugh at all the potential we squandered to make/save a buck. It’s insane.
