What the fuck do they mean privatization, it's already fucking private! Did we suddenly get a socialized healthcare system when I wasn't looking?
Could have saved a lot of time by just saying Trump plans to make one of the worlds worst healthcare systems even worse in whatever way he can. We're well on track for a healthcare system collapse in the US if Trump actually implements the things he's said he will. It will make a matched set with the economic collapse he's also working on.
Just imagine if we brought the efficiency of the insurance that tries to keep you from getting healthcare to the systems that want to give you healthcare but are grossly underfunded, like medicare or the VA! Why, we could ensure that almost no one gets a covered doctor's visit while doubling prices.
The only part they won't gut is the part that mandates that everyone must have insurance.
Nothing better than being legally required to pay for a service that exists to fight to provide no value to you whatsoever in return for the money.
Uh, that's the part that already got axed during Trump's last term, in 2019.
Well, goes to show how fucked my memory is recently. 🤦
