Re: Who do you want to stay in the Democratic primaries?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not entirely sure that I agree with entirely eliminating private health care either. I do think that it's important that private health insurance (whether or not it's employer-funded) should not be the primary means for people to get health care coverage - I think it should be something that's on top of some kind of general public plan.

It seems to me that as long as you have private health insurance as the primary point of access, you're going to end up with a problem where all of the overhead of the insurance industry, all of the middleman effects from the complexity of the insurance system, all of the money taken out of the health system as profit - all of that would still be affecting the system, and I don't think that we see any kind of benefits from the private health system that would justify that.

But with all that said, I do have three questions - one, if a new public plan provided the same standard of care while being cheaper for you, would you still object to losing your employer insurance? Two, are you really sure that this issue is important enough to you to justify keeping Trump in office? Three, how much of a difference does it make to you, from your personal standpoint, whether the company pays the health insurance company, or whether the government pays tax to the government which then funds healthcare?

If it actually provided the same standard of care and allowed me to see the same doctors for the same costs (or less) with the same wait times for appointments (which is a matter of a couple of days most of the time), then sure, I would give it up.

Two, yes, it is. I have chronic health conditions that require medications and frequent doctor's appointments. I need this insurance because it keeps the cost of those medications and appointments affordable to me. Now, IF a public plan could do the same thing? That would be great.

Three, it doesn't make any difference to me at all. What makes a difference is what I'm getting out of it, which is very important to me as someone with chronic health issues.

I agree that medication costs (in particular) and out of pocket expenses and wait times are extremely important issues and I understand being concerned about that. I think one of the big advantages of a more socialized health care system is that it brings down expenses and costs in a significant way, and it provides a safety net so that you and everyone else can consistently access and afford the treatment you need. To me, those are big arguments in favor of a system more along the lines of what Warren proposes.

Being able to see the same doctors, and things of that nature, I think that's a more complicated issue. But I think the overall advantages of a more social health care system - and even more so, the advantages of having Warren and not Trump in office - are really substantial.
