The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

It is not an "insurance plan." It is a wealth transfer plan.

It was always designed to be this way because back in 2010 a single payer nationalized health care system would not have been politically feasible. It was designed to wreck the private health care market so that the next phase--elimination of private health insurance companies, universal single payer health care, would be inevitable.


Yep, 100%. It was and remains a Trojan Horse for what the democrats really want, which is single-payer, federally controlled health care. They look at Europe and think that's the model for the USA but in typical liberal fashion haven't thought it through.

And that last bit is the real problem in the body politic today: one political party just wants power and will say and do anything to get it. Once in charge they have no clue.
