^^ Have to admit Paul has a point.
Healthcare has become the new 3rd rail of US politics.
Increasing taxes and having that pay for a universal healthcare is the end game. However, Big-Med and Big-Pharma will be getting a serious haircut to make universal healthcare affordable. Most private insurers will go out of business and their public stock become worthless.
First step is to no longer subsidize insurers with business tax deductions for employees' medical insurance plans. Everyone will have to pay out of their own pocket -- and bleed from the cost.
Only then will something constructive be done.
Voters will DEMAND something be done
