        The alternative is to stick with the ACA as it is now. It’s worse because insurance marketplaces cost more and create inefficiency compared to a single payer system. More people could have access to less expensive healthcare with a single-payer system.

        Does that make sense?

        Public option. It’s basically the government will sell you Medicare (at best), likely subsidized to your financial needs. And it’s worse because it’s easier for insurance companies to lobby to gut and privatize. Single payer means everyone just has government insurance in the same way we all have access to firefighting services. You pay a tax for it yes, but the efficiency comes from there only needing to be one of this thing.

        We can assume she’ll just follow the establishment policies enacted under Biden - basically nothing.

        It’s crazy to me that saying anything negative is seen as non support, or support for the other. Fuck Trump, but I think keeping leaders in transparency and countering misinformation is important.

        Edit: spelling

          I mean yea keeping people honest is always good. That being said I feel like you either misconstrued what they were asking or just sidestepped what they asked all together.

            I’m allowed to voice discourse without having an alternative solution.

            You can recognize something is wrong without knowing how fix it.

              I mean once again yea sure, but you may want to just dial back the combativeness a tad. Not trying to start a blood feud or anything here was just pointing out something. You could have also led in to their question with that you didn’t know a better solution and explained yourself somewhat more clearly.
