The root cause of this is, in my opinion, that in 2009 instead of getting the Healthcare system that Obama promised, we got the one that Rahm Emanuel substituted for reasons unknown. I will never forgive Rahm for this sin.

Actually socialized medicine would give us better outcomes for less spending. Instead we have a pork barrel project that has become "too big to fail".

Eventually we'll get Medicare for all, but it'll be hell in the meanwhile.
