Read my posts over the last two pages and get back to me on whether or not I'm defending Beto. But I'm not sure what's so hard to believe that he's in favor of universal healthcare? Like, even from a purely cold calculating perspective, why would you even do a healthcare overhaul as a democrat if your intention wasn't to insure everyone? If you can't point to a "uninsured numbers" have decreased to 0.2% bit, then what's the point? You certainly haven't won more voters.Never suggested that. I thought your entire argument to begin with hinged on the productivity of public and private healthcare? Beto O'Rourke has never suggested he wants to insure all his fellow citizens. Nothing about his career as a politician or belief system suggests he believes in private healthcare, or anything, beings its own good. Why are you defending him so hard?
You're misinterpreting what I'm saying. I'm saying you could legislate that the public option be accepted at clinics. Not legislate equivalent quality. That would be stupid.If you're going to legislate the public option to be equivalent to the quality of private insurance, why even have a private option? Would it just be for cosmetic surgeries and the like?
And I doubt that would actually be possible, as long as a profit motive exists the door is always open for exploitation.
