As you witness the stunning the victory laps by the political savants @jonathanchait, @mattyglesias and @Jonathan_Cowan, remember this was their advice throughout this cycle:
@Kate55903759408@JahangirAsgha10 Yes, I agree with you that our current system is totally out of control. Surely adding yet another plan to it should solve things
@rohanspatel@GunnelsWarren So your solution to a system that is confusing as hell to navigate is to entirely leave the employment-based health system in place and add ANOTHER plan to the mix?
@JahangirAsgha10 "Actual costs will depend on plan features and implementation"
No shit??? You're telling me that the details of the ultimate proposal will have an impact on the estimate???
@ProfBrettWilson@selise@MajorityDems You should consider that things have substantially shifted, and that people may be more ready for it than you think:
@keithchaput@MajorityDems thank you! it is so insanely obvious that this is the outcome. the CBO says so, and the adverse selection practices of insurers today says so. these guys want to coopt the language of universal health care while enacting something that would be worse than insignificant.
