I trust the government to be even less objective, and less responsive, than private insurance.
Hedge funds need to maximize returns, before pursuing social or environmental justice.
"Hedge funds need to maximize returns, before pursuing social or environmental justice".
which is exactly why "social justice", which absolutely includes health care decisions, need to not be controlled by corporations and hedge funds.
DUH!
"I trust the government to be even less objective, and less responsive, than private insurance".
if truely so, that would make you an idiot regarding the agenda and only prime objective of hedge fund controlled corporate private insurance, vs the objective of govt..
ignorance can be dealt with.
idiocy and dishonesty can't.
and a position can be idiotic, even if the one holding it isn't at all idiotic on all their other positions, and general mental capacity.
sorry bout the "idiot" reference, but reality is, "idiocy" on positions absolutely is a thing, and absolutely plays a huge part in many political discussions, as much as the politically correct woke wish it didn't.
and unfortunately, liberal idiots, (those exist too), greatly restrict themselves by self restricting the use of terms like "idiot" and "liars", while not so much the case with "conservatives". (another "woke" term we're semi mandated to use to refer to said individuals).
such self bans by the left but not self imposed by the right, put the left at a huge disadvantage in all such debates.
some things are too important to fight for from a huge disadvantaged position.. healthcare is one, and i'm not woke, so i won't self disadvantage myself so..
in truth, we just can't credibly solve or even credibly debate many of our political issues, including social ones, without acknowledging and addressing the part that idiocy and racism and bigotry and faux religious authoritarianism play in such issues.
just not possible.
if you wish to dispute my saying your thinking on the issue of who backs individuals more, hedge fund controlled corporations or the govt, is "idiocy", go for it.
that said, govt can rule against the individual as well when it comes down to the best interests of the citizenry vs corporate profits, and often does.
but at least the govt, or persons working for the govt, have the option of siding with the individual/citizenry over money and corporate profits.
those working for and beholden to the financial interests of hedge fund owned corporations, do not have that option long term and in general, even if they can get away with it on an isolated basis at times.
they once could. no longer is that so.
