What I believe in and what I think is possible are different things
I think this approach could work it seems similar to the uk model
“But a single provider than anyone in trouble can use, supported by taxes, not cross-subsidized by restrictions on your and my health care -- not underpaying in a private system and forcing that system to overcharge others -- while allowing a vibrant completely competitive free market in private health care on top of that, is not such a terrible idea, “

Isn't that exactly what the Repubs were arguing for as an alternative to Obamacare before it was passed--government pay for those that were truly needy and let everyone else have what they had? And isn't the UK model not as successful, or less costly, as other models?
And why would you believe in something that is not possible? |

The problem with income qualified programs is that they end up being detrimental to people being able to get ahead, “I can’t make that much I’ll lose my (blank)
If everyone’s primary care was funded, two things will happen.
Emergency rooms will no longer be primary care providers (they are not efficient at that) and medical conditions will be identified at earlier stages where the costs are lower. We currently fund those things directly and indirectly in possibly the most inefficient way possible.
I should have said probable not possible
